can it be opened to clean?

Yes, there are screws in one of the lower panels that will allow clean out.

The description says it can be opened, and there is a screw that holds one of the sides in place. I have not attempted to open it, though, so can't say for sure.

It is not designed to be opened. With the right tools it may be possible to open and reassemble.

I seem to recall it can be opened with a phillips screwdriver. 80% sure on my memory.

No. But, It opens wide to allow for easy cleaning. This should not be a problem. We have been using ours every day for over six months and it still looks like new inside and out. But, then again, we use RO water.

Don't know why you would want to. Had mine for a long time, years, and never need to remove cover. If nothing get's in you don't need to clean it. But I'm sure you could. I'm not.

Yes. The unit separates into 3 parts for cleaning. Often, a good rinse is all that's necessary. Disassembling and reassembling is very easy.

Great question... I have not cleaned it yet. It looks like it may be challenging to take apart, but I am not completely sure.

Although the top part does unscrew, there's no opening - I'm not sure why they added that part. However, the opening on the bottom is quite large and you should be able to get your hand and/or a brush in there to clean it when you need to. I've found it doesn't really get dirty very fast, but my mob of cats drinks the water rapidly so that I rinse it and refill it more than once a week.

No. It would make an awful mess and you'd have a very hard time cleaning it.

I suppose you could but why would you want to. It cleans up in a jiffy. Besides it would take up a lot of room in the dishwasher.

Yes, but that is not preferred method to clean it. I find it best to hand wash it

I have not put it in the dishwasher. The openings are little and I don't see how the dishwasher could clean it.

We use ours only for water. We wash it by hand with soapy water. The opening is probably big enough though that you could use a baby bottle scrubber if you felt necessary.

Yes, you can clean it with a gentle detergent and water. Make sure to dry it well when you are done.

I would say no, unless you have tiny hands! The opening is wider than some but not the width of a typical glass. I fill it with hot soapy water, close & shake vigorously to wash it! Hope that helps!
