how hard is it to rinse the tank out??

Its not that bad, having both hose coonnection sizes, but it can be troublesome to get the last bit of water. I think it was a great purchase, but be warned, that much liquid weighs quite a bit.

It is not hard at all. I usually just put a gallon or so water in it after I empty and slosh it around a little and that is all there is to it. The only complaint I have, and it is just a minor one, is that it is pretty heavy for an old man to lift to empty when I have it full of sewage. After you get it stood most of the way up it is no problem.

It is pretty easy. It comes with a short hose that connects the tank to a hose bib for the purpose of rinsing the tank out.

The unit is easy to clean and rhw manufacturer directions recommend it be cleaned weekly. I soak the inside of the tank and base with a water/ vinegar mixture and then wipe down the inside of the base.

It is not difficult at all. Just wipe the reservoir out, and fill with clean water.

with the chlorine remover liquid just pour it in as you fill the tank. Do not take all the water out of tank .

You do not have to take it out, you just rinse out the container. The bladder only holds clean water. The dirty water fills up around the bladder on the outside. It's very easy to clean with a quick rinse.

It's not too hard, use a knife or something similar to loosen it up together with water it should flush out fairly quickly,

Never rinse with tap water take some of the tank water put it in a bucket and rinse that way replace when it starts falling apart replace it

I clean it once a week on the same day, by emptying the container and the base into the tub. I keep a squirt bottle with half water and half bleach, and spray inside the tank and nozzle, then spray the inside of the base, let sit for one minute, then rinse out with hot water and washcloth it comes spotlessly clean and is very easy to do.

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

The instructions say to wash the tank in cold water on a regular basis. I have noticed some scale build up in the lower unit, so I usually remove it by wiping the area with warm water. I also wipe the metal plate and rubber gasket the same way with the unit unplugged. On an irregular basis I empty the lower unit and let it dry out. Finally, if I see any black mold growing on the bottom of the tank, I wipe that off with warm water.

Outside of unit, no...not at all. Inside....not my experience. I use reverse osmosis water only. About once every month the "slime factor" inside the tank starts to build up. I use one of three or four methods to clean it. Using only ONE of four possible cleaners: Straight bleach (wear safety glasses), ammonia, tri-sodium phosphate, or mouthwash. I start with what ever I have close and if the inside of the unit doesn't feel squeaky clean I'll try something else. I run this thing 24/7. I assume the if you take off the fill cap and allow it to dry periodically you'd have the same results. Or, use vinegar. I failed to mention that method. cleaning strength vinegar .....my first method. This almost always works. I assume if you have well water or impurities you'll face more challenges. I really like the unit and it remains very durable. Good luck.

No issues. Just attach a hose turn water on move it around a bit and dump it Takes less than 10 minutes. Put small amount of dawn in tank for cleaning and smell

Not difficult, the fan part lifts off and the base contains the water.It is best to use up most of the water (about two days). Then it is lighter to empty.

It is a nightmare to clean if you forget to rinse it for a day or two and any bacteria or fungi have started to breed. There are several places that I think most people don't even think to look at when cleaning, and they would be shocked to find what is hiding in them. I am actually online at this very moment looking for a new, easier to clean humidifier, to replace this one. There are some areas that are impossible to clean that are a result of blantantly poor design. Like a random small ridge near the bottom of the inner column inside the tank. I very regularly disinfect then entire unit, but there are still areas that will get a brownish film to them after a while, one of the main ones being the floor inside the water tank. Most of this can be removed by very vigorously shaking the tank for a few minutes after placing a cup of uncooked and a cup or two of water inside. But there are a few places (like that ridge I mentioned) that can't be effectively cleaned by any method.

Not hard at all. The new tank was an exact replacement. Took my wife and I about one hour between sips of coffee.

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 .
