how long does the water in the reservoir last? is the compartment removable for refilling?

Uh about a couple of hours,, and no it cannot be removed, you need to fill a jar or bottles to pour into it. I do not recommend buying it, i returned it and just bought a portable ac. 8000 btu.

Greetings. The water is stored in the bag and the mouth/cap area is large enough to easily drain all the water from the bag. I have stored my bag for several years with no problem. It would be excellent for camping occasionally. It comes with a blue dye that you drop one drip in if you wonder if it is working and it satisfies all my concerns. Once the blue dye color is gone I know it has purified the water. I have friends in Africa who have used it over 500 times and I have tested it with blue dye drop and everything is working well! It has a mesh in it so the only suggestion I have is that you don't want to crush it or fold it. It's fantastic and I've packed it back and forth from Africa as well as used it in the states!

Correct, No lock. it just sits on top. the reservoir has lips and such. as long as you don't add too much water "over" the full mark you will be fine. After that the water moves to much and can make the whole unit move. Normally i had to fill it up every 18-24 hours and that was going full speed. At 18-24 hours the water level was low enough it was no longer moving. the knob on top controls the speed. If still an issue check the "hole" in the bottom of the part extending into the water. there may be excess plastic causing it not to siphon the water up properly.

Yes, it has a pull out water container; I have not measured it, but it is over a gallon. The speed at which it fills up depends upon relative humidity. On humid days it can be emptied at leastonce per day, on other days it will go several days, a week or so before having to be emptied.

I've had mine for about four years and so far the spout doesn't leak. I like having the larger supply of water instead of always refilling it! The total time is 15 minutes. Sometimes I see some 'algae' (green) in an upper part of the tank. So when I clean it I use some bleach to kill any cells. It washes out leaving no taste, and the green is gone. Seems summertime is when it does that.

It's not difficult at all. You just lift up the reservoir by the handle and empty it. Just be careful to let the reservoir cool a little bit. I've emptied it while it's still hot and although it works. you need to be careful.

Pam, I'm not sure, but in the past two days, with temps in the mid 80s and 50-60% humidity, I had to empty it every two hours yesterday. I know that other units with large, removable collection tanks take about 8 hours to fill in the same weather conditions.

Yes it is. It has a Reboil option on it for existing water but I suggest changing the unused water daily for sanitary reasons.

Yes. You can fill it by removing the reservoir or by pouring water into the reservoir with a pitcher.

The water reservoir is not separate from the unit itself. I use distilled water and I'm hoping that will help keep it clean over a period of time.

Mine have lasted about seven weeks and we drink a lot of water. I refill the pitcher at least 3 times a day. So I feel seven weeks is a reasonable amount of time.

It has a reservoir that you fill up with water each day or so. Hope that helps!

Great Question......I just leave the water in the reservoir although if you are going to store it for more than a month or so I think I would just pull the reservoir out and turn the unit over so I empties. I have not found a way to get the reservoir out either.

Water reservoir is removable and this one did not leak - only after placing it on the machine did it leak.You will need to pull it out.

I'm not sure I really understand your question but I will say this, it has a water reservoir in the back that is detachable. You fill it manually.

It stays on until water chamber is empty and it shuts off by itself. It takes about 12hrs to depleat. I usually use it for two days (6hrs) at a time before refilling.

I remembered it to be 1.5 gallon of water. This is the good size for me, I filled up a little over half for the container, and it lasted for 2 weeks. But this is not recommended, as the water gets dirty for that kind of length of time.
