How do you clean the tank? Does it disconnect completely?

I don't clean it, but a mild soap on the outside would do, and a mild white vinegar solution is what I'll run through it after weeks of use. And yes, the tank slides off into your hand which is more convenient that using the small hole in the top for filling.

I just rinse it out and turn it on to make sure the water tube is clear. I use it in the shower, so everything seems to stay very clean. The tank does disconnect completely....a long bottle brush would easily clean it.

This message will appear when the clean side solution runs low (or empty) and the dirty side tank is full. Check the tanks by lifting the little rubber tabs marked 'dirty' and 'clean' on top of the unit. You must empty the dirty water before you can continue. I always rinse the (dirty) tank and the filter well before I either 1) refill the clean side and continue cleaning, or 2) clean my Scooba 's tanks and filter, and place on charge for the next job.

The manual for cleaning is more complicated then it needs to be. I have found by just running warm water over the disconnected top and brushing the lower unit it has remained clean and sharp for the next use.

Take the tank out and you will see 2 wing nuts on the top turn them and the back part will lift off then you can clean it with vinager and water. Easy!!!

No it does not come apart for cleaning. The tank is seperate for cleaning but the unit does not come apart & the nozzel for misting doesn't come off,

There is only a small hole on either end. Barely large enough for 2 fingers. My dirty tank cannot be cleaned, I've tried hot water, soapy water, spongers... nothing can reach it. The clean water tank stays clean... Obviously :-)

Follow the directions in the manual and clean out the tank!! Then only use distilled water.

No, I've never had any problems with my tank at all. you may have just got a defective one. you may need to get it replaced.

The grill does disconnect from the base. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher because of the heating element connection should not get wet. It is extremely easy to clean. I first wipe the grill off with a paper towel while still warm and then put it into warm soapy water and wipe clean or use a small brush on the grill making sure not to get the electrical connection wet. I have enjoyed the grill.

The intake has a valve thats attached to the lid. I shut the valve off,then unhook the outtake hose from the spray bar,plug off w/my thumb and place it in a bucket. Bring the canister over the bucket,and remove the lid(becareful not to get the attached pump wet). Then you can clean it out. It's recommended that you clean it with the aquariums water,as not to wash away any of the good bacteria .

Mine was doing this. After 5 or 6 attempts to clean etc, I unplugged, removed the water tank, took it outside, tipped it upside down and gave it a good shake. Turned it up again and water started to dribble from the nozzle. Fitted it all back together, and it works again. Small blockage moved.

It's so easy. The tank lifts off. Then you unscrew the cap to add your water and cleaning solution. That's it.

Answer here...i take mine apart every week. If I don't take apart the three parts of the motor unit and brush it well, sometimes after cleaning I plug it in and have to play around with it to get the motor to run. Since I scrub the motor each week I find it rare to have that problem. It definitely is easier than cleaning the old Drinkwell with all the right angles!

I clean mine weekly. I shut it off,quik scrub with a brush, put it back it. I did let it go 2 weeks while I was away and it was still pumping strong. Hope this helps

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

I am not sure how to take it off the tank. Is that what you mean? Mine is woking good still. But I have a little tip that you might try. Let pure some oil (cooking oil, any kind) around the subject that you want to remove it. Make sure the oil insinuate between your tank and the light handle then take a thin knife , using a top point cleave them little by little from the outside in add more oil as need. The oil help to remove the glue. Remember the tank is glass so you have to be calm and patient when doing this job. Hope this help and hope my English is well enough.
