I have used it now for more than 60 days, and it still collects water. When do I refill? Do I simply wait until water collections stopps?

the white pouch of crystals dissolves and becomes empty. at that point I put in a new pouch and just continue use.

I think from 80 days the filter starts to dry out. Manual recommends another thing but I would tell you refill when the bag is dry.

The steam stays on until you've run out of water. I haven't timed it but it is a reasonable amount of time. When you refill it is only a matter of seconds before you can continue.

Add a cap full of vinigar or bleach and you don't have to change the water as long as it doesn't spring a leak! However, I like to empty mine at the end of the summer in Arizona, and I refill it in may.

It takes a good 6-8 months for the first tray to be completed, at least it did for me. But it seems to pick up quickly after that. Definitely add water, I use a spray bottle and give it a nice soaking about once a week. You want it moist, not wet per se but moist. You shouldn't have to open anything, the water will collect in the bin. I've had my bin over a year now and have filled the bin 5 or 6 times now.

I'd recommend keeping it no longer than 3 months. The instructions says that it'll stay activated for 3-4 months. However, that doesn't that it'll last that long. If your water quality is really poor, I'd recommend you change the bag out sooner.

I fill mine about once a month. But, I am not a high user and I don't wait for it to go completely empty.

No if I remember right it is only for like three hours. You select how many minutes, it might have been up to 240 minutes. Been all winter haven't messed with it in months and don't have access to it currently. I love the timer though, it has worked great and reliable for me last year. My only quam with it is that it doesn't have a calendar type setup. My watering days are on the even days of the month, so if I select it to water every other day then I have to reset it come the 31st. So as long as the month ends in 28 or 30 I'm great. But otherwise it has helped me tremendously. Good Luck.

Yes it can be refilled. I do not know how much water it took. It can also be emptied out and stored if needed. The instructions are on the Chillow and you should follow them.

I purchased mine a fee months ago. It appears to me it should last longer. It was 6 degrees here last evening and my water wasn't frozen. Would definitely contact the company on that.

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.

That is exactly what I bought it for.I have rinsed it out and ran water and bleach through it for 3 days. storing water now, i will test the drink-ability in a month.however if/when the water supply runs out, i'm sure it'll be fine.hehe

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.

Make sure you put enough water in it. Don't worry about too much water, it holds it well. Fill that sucker up :)

When the pitcher is fully assembled, take the lid off (not obviously easy - I have to get my fingernail between the lid and the pitcher to lift it up). With the faucet on slowly, fill the top portion until it is about to overflow. The water trickles through the filter and then collects in the clear portion of the pitcher. Any time the water volume gets low, just refill the same way. It's OK if water sits in the top "blue" portion, because it will eventually pass through the filter. When you pour water out, it is only coming up from the water in the bottom, already filtered portion of the water. I do not plan to need to wash the pitcher, until the filter needs to be replaced.

I purchased mine in November, I couldn't give you an answer, I had to send it in for repairs because it was leaking a lot. I'm upset because I sent it in two weeks ago and I have had no response from them. I hope to find out something tomorrow and I hope I'm not out $90.

I probably change out my refills every six months or so. I also very heavily use my disposer. Everything goes down it! I've been on septic and using this disposer since September 2007 and have not had one single back-up, stop-up, etc. LOVE LOVE LOVE. And, you just reminded me I put in my last refill this week. Gotta go order more!

After my response to you I watched two youtube videos on refilling it as suggested by another post to you, using regular water. It can be done and it looks easy enough to do.
