Is the water from melting snow lodged in wheel wells contained?
1414046
Yes it is. I have had multiple days of wheel well buildup melt in there before I squeegeed the water out.
1414047
Yes. You need to park in the middle if the pad and of course the garage surface should be level. With this snowy winter I have been draining the water of the pad often.
1414048
Yes. We have a very long gravel driveway with LOTS of snow this winter. The mat has contained it well. . . .

The slush & water from the car is contained for several entry/exit cycles from the garage. If the roads are messy and more gunk is brought in each time you will eventually want to drag the guard out to the driveway and dump it.
1414050
Yes, it is contained on the mat, I usually just mop up the water from the mat.

The mat does a great job at containing the water/sand/salt used in my area. Because my garage floor slightly slopes towards the door, I have a rolled up towel under the low end to ensure the water stays in. Rather than dragging it out, I use a shop vac to clean up as needed.

yes. we live in midwest, just had another 7 inches of snow and this mat has been a lifesaver so far. all melting snow has been contained and we just use the wet/dry vac to clean it up if it gets too full. if it is just a little water it will evaporate.

It is if the amount isn't too large. I have used a broom to sweep out water and a wet vac does a nice job.

It will trap water dripping off your vehicle if it is rain. There are lines built into the mat that run in a north-south diretion that will conduct it to run that way. Now if you have big chunks of ice and snow falling off, then probably not. There is no higher edge or rim around the perimeter of the mat. I live in Wisconsin and so far this year, the melt water has not run over the edge. Ask me again in April.

No, however you are not supposed to leave the pump plugged during winter season as the water on the cover will likely be frozen as well. Hope this answers your question.

I am assuming that you have freezing weather because you are asking this question. In theory, for below freezing conditions, you could fill with windshield washer fluid but it will add a financial hit. Mine is inside so I don't have to worry about it. The hole in the top is large enough that you could fill without spilling but I used a funnel then lifted in to place with help from my son. I should clarify.....the blue antifreeze type windshield washer fluid. Ps use the bag almost everyday still love it :).

Yes but don't leave your hose connected with the water left on in freezing weather.

The hole is a valve to attach a water hose. There is another small hole to view the water level. Perhaps you could put a few pieces of ice in that hole, but not sure. That is not mentioned in the directions.

Seems to be! I left mine in the bed of my truck when it snowed. When I brushed it off it didn't even seem like it was wet.

This is not exactly the info you want, but we live on a lake with all kinds of issues (not salt, but untreated lake water certainly stains things). We took the boat out of the lake for the winter and hosed it, and that was enough in our case. Paul

I would guess so, without the cover. Nothing in the info says anything about water....just extreme heat and cold weather.

It is not on wheels. There are two reservoirs that you must remove and fill and then replace.

Yes during normal weather. Our winter was horrible so the weight of the snow made the lid flex and when we opened it, it was full of water. We've been very happy with this sand table and highly recommend it.

This is something you should do even though it doesn't get below freezing. This will help lubricate the piston and seals and get rid of any mineral deposits left by standing water in pump. It doesn't take much product to force out the left over water.

I don't know about the snow but the first time I used mine it rained for three days. Mine ran fine the whole time. I used it on propane as well as the gas. It seemed to run the same on both gasoline and propane. I did have a piece of plywood that kept most of the rain, but not all, off the unit.

Not that I know of. As I recall there may have been a warning about allowing snow accumulate on it.

There is a small sensor (2 inches by 2 inches approx.) that registers the images that goes into the water, beside or underneath the boat. If that sensor is placed in the water through the hole of the ice it seems that every thing should work fine.

I have no idea. The waterpumps I have seen have sealed bearings that are protected from the water/antifreeze. Use at your own risk. Mixing this with antifreeze is a new experiment. Good luck ! ( do you have an extra engine, just in case?)

Sorta depends on how much snow you get. It wouldn't work in Western Colorado. Plus it is porous, so when the ice and snow that it catches melts, the water is going to leak through and refreeze?
