Instructions can be found here: http://www.khmfg.com/edi/images/media/Instructions/Cool-Bed-III-Instruction-Manual.pdfYou don't need to change the water, but you can add some grapefruit seed oil as it is an all natural, non-toxic antibacterial.

I don't recall reading about that in the instructions. I don't think you have to.

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.

Mine included instructions which I followed and were not difficult. I would call the company for instructions. Or maybe they have them online.

The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M. Brendlinger's answers are correct. I was very confused about how much water to put in. I fill it to the top, then put the cylinder in and screw on the metal top. I'm still using cold water, straight from the refrigerator, into the chilled container and shaking it 25-30 times after releasing the C02 filter. Despite there being poor and lacking instructions I still think this is a great product and environmentally one of the most sound ways to enjoy fizzy water. I even transfer the fizzy water to another bottle with a cork stopper and then I always have 2 bottles of fizzy water in the frig ready to go. The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M.

Did you cycle a bunch of water through it first like the instructions told you to?

I did the same thing. If you go to their website you can download a new instruction booklet

Mine did not have instructions either. I just handwash mine when I am finished using it. It has not been a problem. It probably would be okay because it is stainless steel but I just prefer to wash it by hand.

what part of the unit is the water coming from. turn off the water tank, check all connections. I've had two leaks from defective/broken parts. The company replaced these parts free of charge. If parts are broken and you purchased through Amazon, go to Amazon web site. prior orders, contact supplier. explain problem. When I did this the company emailed me within 24 hours. hope this helps/ good luck/Craig

Hmm - ours had instructions. I would call the company and have them send them. We were very pleased with our unit.

No instructions? Wow! If you had gotten them, you would have found them a bit funny; the translations are a bit strange English. Accompanying the unit, there should have been a small filler container. This should be filled with tap water up to about two thirds volume. Add to this, two or three drops of an essential oil. Open the unit by grasping the base and twisting the decorated top counter clockwise. Pour the liquid from the small container into the receptacle in the unit and return the top. There are two black dots at the base of each. When these lineup up, the unit is properly closed. To start the process, press on the left button near the bottom of the unit. Press several times until a blue red or green light comes on. When the light is on, press and hold the right button. A small light will come on at the 30 minute point. Press the button again and choose 30 minutes, 60 minutes or the other two. When you let go, the fogging should start. Experiment with this process if need be. Just remember, do not tilt the unit while there is water inside it. To change to another scent, discard any small amount of liquid remaining inside the unit, wipe it out with some tissue or cloth. Clean the filler cup thoroughly. Enjoy.

No instructions were included with mine. I used a youtube video that showed me step by step video with excellent instructions. It was very helpful and gave excellent advice step by step. Be sure to watch and listen carefully to the whole video once through before tying to do the actual replacement; that will save you from making mistakes along the way.

Hi. The directions on the box say to change it every 30 days for best results. I write the date 30 days from the date I placed the last one in my humidifier on the packaging of the next one, and so forth. :) They are exceedingly easy to use and work well for me. I also use a Honeywell filter and a Bacteriocide solution in mine to make sure nothing's growing. Change water completely daily as well, whether empty or not. We have a pool and it's really amazing what can grow in water over the winter time. Spring cleaning for that is in progress now as well. :)

I simply drilled a small diameter hole into a 3-gal plastic bucket from a home improvement store, and slid the waterer in. There was a plastic nut that secured it from the inside. I assume it is the same for the cooler. Just remove the original cooler tap and slide the waterer in. I've had mine for two years and it works great. I'll buy another when mine ages.

I don't recall any instructions for cleaning; I rinse it with clean water after each use.

How about reading the manual. It's online. Pull out the water container. Reach in and pull the filter down. It is towards the the front of the unit. Wash, dry and replace.
