Will this still function properly if I fill it up and then disconnect the garden hose?

Yes, but it only hold the water in the small tank, you would have to fill it again to use again.

You need the pressure from the hose to push the water through the shower so no, it will not function properly if you disconnect it.

I'm not sure you would have much water pressure. There is quite a bit of capacity in the tank portion but your pressure would likely drop off substantially. I plumbed a PVC line to mine so it always has pressure but I can disconnect it at a plumbed union if needful.

I wish I could answer that for you, but we use just the container and empty it for our RV and don't hand the hose connected and do not have a clue where we put it. I'm sorry as I know how helpful it is to get as much info as possible. Good machine!

I thing the answer is no. It uses the water pressure from the garden hose attached to is to force leaves and debris upward to be captured in the net bag attached to the center ring. Algae, dirt and the like would most likely be smaller than the mess in the net. It would get it off the bottom but since it does not do a "vacuum" function this stuff would just settle back to the bottom.

Yes, it will work with a constant water supply from a hose. Just don't let it run dry.

Yes. When you shut the water off some of it will come back and splash out of this attachment (and get your hand wet). This is a good thing. Just dry your hand and be glad that the pressure has been relieved from your hose and other more expensive attachments you have at the spigot (e.g., timers).

Yes, I have a hose connected to the bottom connection and that leaves my spigotFree.

This doesn't pump into the air - you attach a hose to the elbow. I use a 75' hose so it pumps the water down my driveway instead of in the yard. It also stops when you turn it off - however, it will continue to remove water until it drains below the cone as it acts like a siphon when the power is turned off.

That depends how you want to use it. There is a waterfall and so In order for the waterfall to keep working a hose needs to be on the whole time. However, if you don't want to use the waterfall then you can just fill up the pool and turn off the water

Hi Kim,The unit drains by gravity. If your hose is higher than the unit, it will not drain through the hose.

Yes, shut the water off, disconnect the water hose, put a bucket underneath, loosen the valve, replace it, and it is good to go.

Yes. Best to disconnect from power to prevent hitting on/off button.expect/prepare for slight leakage where tank meets pump assembly.

The small amount of propane in the hose when you disconnect it will escape. There will be no propane left in the hose.

You have to leave the nozzle open to let it drain out, it will shrink back if it drains, maybe not as much as it look on the ad. I you have high water pressure it may burst the hose one of mine did in the front of my house (higher pressure there). Also keep it out of the sun when not using. I love the convenience but was disappointed when one hose popped.

I doubt it, the plastic connection piece has some sort of on/off switch when connected to the hose. This seems to be product specific. However we have had this for a while now, and have had NO issues with it.

It's funny, my wife and I were on the fence about getting this because we also couldn't find that info! Anyway, there is an outlet valve to which you can hook up another garden hose. Then the hose can drain wherever you like. We have it leading into a large bucket/pail which we periodically empty. Hope that helps!

No. You have to empty it occasionally. The air conditioner will stop working and all the lights on the front will flash when you need to empty it. The easiest way is to roll it to a stair or a door and pull the plug out of the back to drain it into a bucket. There will be a fair amount of water when you empty it, but it never leaks if you've got the plug in correctly.

This item connects directly to your garden hose. If you want to add a quick disconnect, you'll need both male & female disconnects.
