Can you tell me if you have to drain the waterbed or if you can put it between the boxspring and softside mattress? My present one seems to sit there.

The heater Has to go on the bottom between the plastic liner and wood frame, so yes you DO have to drain your bed. Hope this helps.

It would work best beneath the water bladder. It would heat better and use less energy to heat without anything between the bladder and the heater. I would drain it, and place it below the bladder. This is not to say it would not work otherwise though.

They do not recommend trying to place the heater in a full mattress. I think it could e do it would be pretty risky and hard to do. I supposed if you were very careful and had help it could be done.

Hi, Shirley. We pump up the mattress and leave it plugged in all night. I don't think you need to, though. We have never had a problem with the mattress leaking during the night; in fact, we had to let some of the air out the last time we used it because my husband filled it too full and it was too hard for him. After he released some of the air, the bed was fine. I think you'll be glad you purchased this item. We love ours!

After 48hrs, mine is still at 15" with hallow and saggy corners and loose outer covering on 4 sides. I desperately want to sleep on it minus that 1 inch but i'm giving it another 24 hrs to fill up some more. The hallow corners makes me sad coz i don't know how it can fill up unless it rises another 2inches more at least.

I believe the person's weight stabilizes it. The rail goes under the mattress pretty far. Mine has been a big help. I'm not sure how well it would work on a waterbed.

Hello! I'm not sure if its necessary or not but I did wait and I still love the mattress. I have it in my houseboat so waiting wasn't an issue. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

I had a dirt area that I put two inches of pea gravel on and then plywood. It is best to put some kind of foam under it for insulation. It comes with a hose adapter for draining it. There is a drain plug and receptor for the hose adapter. Just drained mine and all the water came out but an inch or so. I turned it over to drain the remaining water which also allowed me to wash it out.

You need to put water bed conditioner into the mattress with your water. A heater, liner, frameand a hose to fill the waterbed. I have had a water bed for 40 years. I have never had a leak. I coat the mattress with lemon furniture polish when I change my non-waterbed Queen size sheets. Do not put sharp objects on or near the mattress.

Put it on a plywood base over the box spring. But don't buy a linen spa mattress - they DO NOT honor the warranty policy. They will state that the box spring voids the warranty. So buyer beware. Buy a sleep innovation or other brand

It sink,but,not too much. You cannot heat up.It's for couple months and after that I don't feel comfortable and important rhing is if any damages you need to pay for the shipping which is equal to the new queen mattress (I mean shipping cost).

I had the same issue and it took a while to figure it out. Since we use it rarely we don't recall how we finally did it. If I recall correctly, the pump mechanism really does not let the air out. I think we took the mechanism off the mattress. You'll have to experiment with it.

It's on the back along the right edge (if you're looking at the unit from the back) about midway up. It is recessed and the flexible drain tube could probably be curved to facilitate running the drain tube down the back or the side. I use the reservoir instead of the drainage tube since it's front loaded and easy to access. I've been very happy with these units.

To wash it you have to take the foam sides out. We made little pads that fit to size and buttoned them on. That worked. But I do wish there was an easier way to wash/change out the mattress because I had a spitter!

Keep a little water in it all the time. The only time I totally drain mine is to clean it.

No I have no problem with water draining. Mine has 6 drainage holes and then the side handles. I love this seat. So secure. Hope this helps you.

I don't put any water in the bottom....I thought it was for the draining after washing....

For me, the issue has been the length of the hose and the water pressure. There is plenty of flexibility for cleaning the sides, but the hose is too short to get the water going back toward the drain, so I have to bank it off the sides. We're on a well and we keep our pressure tank at about 50 psi. I have considered taking out the flow restrictor on the advice Blanco support staff, but haven't gotten around to it.

I spoke with tech support for this product about reducing the weight of the tank before storing for travel. I now attach a small portable air compressor to the inlet side of the unit and push the water out the discharge side. You can get most of the water out this way and should have less water present in the unit to cause a problem. You should not turn the unit upside down to drain water as it may cause loss of the media.
