I understand some water remains in container to protect container. I travel. Is there a way to empty the water so it doesn't become slimy standing?

Yes. The container can be removed and drained if need be. There is also a cleaning filter that remains in the water container. I recently saw a crazy post on Facebook about the hazardso of this? I replenish water all day with mine, (office use) so stagnant water isn"t a concern. Good luck!

Hi, Amazon distributor here, best way to clear it as Amy S. noted on 6/22/14 is to inflate the device fully and then either wipe or insert the probe component under water (use general or an antibacterial soap). As others have noted, the key is to clean/wash/wipe while inflated. Pat dry with a clean towel, let the air out via the release button, and let it dry. There's absolutely no problem in keeping the device inflated while it dries as well. //Associated Medical

I would not suggest doing that as, even though water expands as it gets cooler, air does the exact opposite and will, typically, cause the container to "deflate".

No there's a holding tank with a valve on it that can be emptied later. See manufacturer's website for more info.

no need to empty water. Just add salt to current tub. Unless of course the water is due to be changed.

There is a small twist cap on the bottom of the water container. I didn't figure it out at first either... If you miss the opening you may get some water in the decorative case but just turn it over, over the base and the small amount of water will go in there. This one is by far may favorite so far, I have bought 5 of them, two of which I had to send back.

you can rinse it with water generally (head down is what i do), but still, try not to rinse it all over or put it in the water.

I would think of perhaps using a bag that would screw onto the filter and empty into the clean water container. It won't be fast but it will work. I have used this method before.

If you can't use water ... use AIR [ a compressor and blow gun ] will get rid of most of the debris .

It is very easy to empty the container. I just dump the container in a trash bag lined receptacle and that's it.

I use the travel berkey in my travel trailer. I empty the berkey of all water and then pack paper towels around the filters to stabilize them while moving the berkey around. Or you might be able to completely take the filters out while transporting. I have not run into any problems.

Hi, open up the top and only put one package in at a time in. When the water has filled in the container you have to discard of the water into the toilet (try not to spill any on you or anywhere else) and throw the packet away. Each packet is only good for one filling of the container. Put it somewhere where you will not knock it over and be careful when picking it up. Hope this helps!

In addition to Connie's answer, the water will dissipate if you are gone more than a day or so. I have to fill ours up ( no coffee) a time or two to get the water back to the level it's supposed to be.

I'd try to bring it up with tweezers. Failing that, you'll have to empty the water from the collection hole--which is a pain but doable and won't affect the efficacy of the dehumidifier.

I have not collected enough to try to empty it . I have another filtration in line with this. It looks like you could stand it on end and drain it if necessary.

I have tried to keep it away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, and that has worked for me for a few years. I also try to keep it fairly full or I'll notice condensation on the top of the bottom segment that holds the filtered water (that is visible in the clear container). Hope that's not confusing. I would make sure everything is fully scrubbed before starting a fresh batch - it only takes a little bit of algae to grow into a mess you don't want to deal with. You could use a diluted bleach spray to get rid of it....just make sure to thoroughly wash it off!

No, you don't have to keep it dry. When I know that I wont be using it for a few days or longer I empty and dry it. If your are on a hiking trip and need the water leave it full!
