Does water drain out of the rubber feet? How do you keep water from stagnating or corroding the metal?

I did not notice a problem. I only noticed it was very sturdy and light weight which was important to me.

well it does have a lifetime warranty but the cups on the feet fit tight. it you are worried about water entering you can always put a seal of clear silicone around each cup

the legs are adjustable...just disconnect the legs where they adjust and there you go!

Yes it has been designed for water to escape the rubber caps. I've had this seat for several months and I have not noticed any corrosion.

I installed a PVC system for my unit and built it in such a way the the air must travel uphill for a ways thus making it more difficult for the water to get to the unit. I have had no problems with water in the unit. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem when using it in a vessel sink. The rubber washer kept water around the drain causing hard water lines, so I returned these and ordered some Mobile Home drains which was a perfect solution. They arent the same quality but it looks better.

There is a heavy plastic liner in the holder, If you tap the water off, not much will accumulate.

When I ordered them, there is no metal feet. I do not know about now, contact the seller to confirm. After using it for several months it works nice, easy to clean, rubber feet on bottom, right weight.

Mark, This seems to be a common problem with these units. I don't have mine anymore because Consumer Reports Took away their recommendation because some of them were catching on fire. When I did have it, I solved the drain hose issue by gluing in a stopper with silicone glue. I can't remember exactly where the stopper went, but some close examination should allow you to figure out where to put the stopper. It was a small drain hole. Check on google re the fire issue. You may want to try to return it if you can. I got a Frigidare unit which is working fine.

Mine got wet thru being rained on and continued to work fine. If you are getting salt water on it I would suggest wiping it off with a wet rag to minimize corrosion risks.

Hi. I've answered this before so will be brief. This strainer is really great and highly recommended. Water contact breaks down the metal .. this can cause rust .. so prevent it. Go to one of the "box stores" and by a can of "clear gloss" Polyurethane (about $7). As soon as you get strainer, take off the rubber feet and wipe it down (don't get it wet). Now, give it a couple of coats of that clear poly. Let completely dry (like overnight if possible). Lightly wash and dry, put on rubber feet and use. It will never rust (mine hasn't after a long time).

There is a rubber seal on the charging outlet. I have had no troubles with the device in water.

Hi Sam,I have found that most of the water lost come from removing the cut tile from the cutting platform. There are these rubber fenders around the blade that prevent the water from spraying all over the place. The extended pan in the back of the cutter catches most the water coming off the saw. The water lost is minimal. I had to cut some larger tiles, 12x24, so most of the water lost came from the water spray onto the tile during the cut, especially when I removed the tile after the cut is made. As a matter of fact, it is so good catching the water, after awhile you need to replace it because of the amount of grime collected in the reservoir. gh Hi Sam,I have found that most of the water lost come from removing the cut tile from the cutting platform.

The rack does drain pretty well if set up at the edge of the sink. As I have not experienced any pooling of water in the plastic base, you will still want to wash off / rinse off the base every once in a while.

It's probably mineral deposits from the water. You should be able to clean most of it out. Mine does the same thing, and after cleaning, the metal looks just fine.

I'm not sure about keeping out rain or how it would do outside. I might do well on both accounts, but it's hard to tell. It does have some metal inside in the open/close mechanism. We use the bucket for kitchen scraps to take to the compost so it is slightly moist inside our bucket and so far there has not been any problem with corrosion of the metal. But don't know what would happen if there's lots of rain moisture. Sorry I can't be of more help since I haven't used the bucket outside. It's such a good price, might be worth a try. It sure is a nice can for indoor use.

They drain out the back seam, so they stay dry after the rain stops. They also have small rubber feet to keep them off the concrete and away from wet surfaces.

I don't submerge the entire unit in water..I use the sink's hose sprayer to clean it.

The feet are covered by little rubber feet so your sink won't get scratched. You'll love it!

I put mine on a boot tray from Home Depot that has an inch-high outer lip, and I've had no trouble with water getting on the floor. I do have to say, though, that the issues I've had with cleaning the plastic hood and the submersible pump really have me regretting this purchase.
