Is the water tank Stainless steel? Is it necessary to empty the water tank, or can you just add more water as it is used day to day

Yes it is. It has a Reboil option on it for existing water but I suggest changing the unused water daily for sanitary reasons.

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.

It's plastic, i dont know of any coffee pots with a stainless tank. We have had zero problems with this coffee pot though. It's fabulous

The inside of the lid is plastic; the inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It really doesn't affect the product performance at all. I've had this kettle for at least 3 months now; I love it and use it daily. You don't fill it all the way to the top (there's a max indicator on the side) -- if you follow that guide, the water never comes in contact with the lid or the handle which is also plastic. The plastic stays cool, allowing you to pour without burning yourself.

I have not had a problem with cleaning out the water tank...its opening is large enough and rinsed easily. Hope this helps you.

Wipe or clean it with a wet towel or cloth because you can't submerge it. It appears to be stainless steel on the inside so it's quite easy to clean.

You can add or remove water from the tank using the provided hand pump that siphons the water out. It wouldn't be super user friendly to switch it often but it can be switched as you desire for more or less resistance.

Most of it is misted inside the exhaust pipe. I run mine for 12+ hours a day and every 3-4 months I need to empty the water from a very small tank on the bottom. It surprised me how small the tank is and how much time goes between needing to empty it from the drain plug. My last unit from a different manufacture also misted but not very efficiently. I had to empty a larger tank weekly.

Yes, It is stainless steel both inside and out. Well worth the money compared to similiar items so you can afford to replace this one 3-4 times over. How long do the other comparable units work? We've had ours for only 1+ years, use everyday, no problems-but would buy another one, however we do use filtered water, for the best end product.

You have to fill the tank, preferrably with some sort of filtered water. I just fill it at my fridge.

Mine rusted. I was given it 9 months ago and it is used every day. We keep water in it because it is used frequently. Also, although the lid is stainless steel, the fasteners are creating rust colored streaks. Not impressive. Deciding if I should contact the company. I threw out the receipt because I thought it was a quality product. Oops.

All the tank on the inside are stainless steel grade. The outside housing of the unit itself is plastic.

No the tank does not have access to clean - HOWEVER the tank must be filled full the first time to use it. Then release ALL the water at once through RO spigot. We did ours twice. The instructions have the common filter change times (usage). There is also an extra set of filters included.

Yes. Reservoir is plastic, and hoses/tubes are plastic-y. I can't speak to any health effects, but I would've preferred a stainless tank, too

It's a stainless steel permanent filter, but it's not fine. So if you want to add, say a coffee filter, and do the filtering better, but a lot more slowly, you could. It really depends on what you want to use it to filter and store.

yes it is plastic, but i have not had any problems. however i do not move the tank at all. i just empty and clean the water were the tank is . so i'm not sure, if you move the tank during cleaning maybe the bottom would crack but i guess you take your chances with any product failing , the tank to this point has worked flawless, and i would recomend it
