Is it necessary to empty the water out after each use.. and also,. is it necessary to take the cleaner and batteries out after each use.?

Don't know if it is necessary to empty the water after each use, but it is a good practice. Water in a closed container can harbor bacteria. If you remove the cleaner the batteries are are not making contact with a source so you don't have to remove them. Hope this helps

I always empty the water and take out the cleaner after use. I don't know if it would leak, but I don't give it a chance. However, I don't take out the batteries. They seem to last the same amount of time out or in, as long as the power cord is unplugged

I leave mine there everyday only time I empty it is when I clean it or put in a new filter . as long as you use it and keep feeling it, the water doesn't get bad. If you leave it sit to long maybe I would yes and use fresh water.

I suppose it gets as dirty as you let it. I rinse the brush head after every use, and also run water over the power unit, and dry it. Every couple of weeks I soak the brush heads in hydrogen peroxide, something that should be done with every toothbrush. The power unit is waterproof. I have washed it twice a day for about six years and it works fine, so that's not a problem. But, that means the batteries are sealed; you cannot replace them. Expect to buy another unit at some point. We like them so much I will not hesitate.) I hope this answers your question.

This may be normal. Instructions say to clean out after use. Ours collects a bit of residue I attribute to normal operation.

I've rarely needed to empty the water. But this is ultimately going to depend on how much you use the unit...

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!

you don't want to rinse it out inside, use a pail or something, I cleaned up outside, it takes alot of water to clean properly. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned properly before putting away

I don't use mine terribly frequently, so have never needed to replace the batteries. If it helps to know, it does shut off automatically pretty quickly after use, so it shouldn't drain the battery overly much.

I just use water. There is a cleaner they recommend in the user manual for tough cleaning but I have not used it.

The tank does not require cleaning unless the system is not in use for a long period of time. Usually, flushing the tank once would be enough.

I agree with other reviewers- it is manually operated- on and off. By the way- mine did not require filters as it has a little wire basket- just empty and rinse!

The sharkvac has to be taken out of the water after each use and the filters cleaned. Therefore it is not a vac that you leave in the pool.

Very carefully. You have to poor out access purified water from previous use, and then wipe out completely with dry paper towel. I don't wet it with water because I don't want to risk breaking the unit, so I wipe clean every time. The color of the unit gets stained from the oils, so getting it back to its original color won't happen, but that's ok. This method should clean the unit pretty effectively.

We empty it every time we use it. I would think that if you left the water in it that you may get a build up of sediments in the tank from the water.

i use filter water from my fridge. and that helps. so right now I don't use the cleaning cartridge and clean the machine once a week.
