How much water does it hold? Do you have to empty the water before storing?

It's recommended to hold 19 liters, though the volume in the tank is much higher. You do not have to remove the water to store vertically.

No need to empty the tank. The weight of the water acts as an anchor to stabilize the rower in an upright position.How much water depends how the resistance level you prefer, generally I like it half filled. So take the tank volume and divided by 2...=)

Not sure how much it "holds" but you fill it to a level. Never empty for storage. Just needs a chlorine pill once every 6 months. No worries about leaks in upright "storage" position. IMO a much better and fun experience than Concept rowers

Read the instruction book - there is a clearly marked water level line on the plastic tank. We put ours up against the wall when we're not using it. I think as long as there is sunlight and you are actively using it the water should be fine. The chlorine tablet is essential to discourage mold/mildew. If you are storing it for a longer period of time unused I would empty it and allow all water to evaporate out for a dry interior - otherwise mold and mildew will form in a sealed and dark space that has any moisture.

Filling to recommended levels well take a little over 3 gallons of distiller water. Have had the rower for over a year. No need to change water - simply drop in a chlorine tablet (available from WaterRower) every 6 mos. no need to empty before storing.

The amount of water varies depending on the level of resistance you want. There is a guide on the side of the water tank. I am assuming that by "storing" you mean standing the rower upright. I have my rower in a home gym so never move it, but you would not need to empty the water to stand it upright.

I don't know exactly how much water it holds but I'm sure it's several gallons. You don't need to empty the water before storing. Mine sits straight up and out of the way next to my tv in my living room. I have only filled it once with water. The rower comes with chlorine pills. One pill allows the water to stay fresh and clear for 6 to 8 months. So you only need to change the water once or twice a year. I hope this helps.

I found a zillion answers to this question and there are several formulas for calculating capacity. We figured it to be 12, 500 gallons of water.

It has a large plastic water container that holds about 2 quarts. In my dank closet, that container fills up about once every week and a half. So, constant vigilence for me. In a less dank place, probably could go longer without emptying container.

When filled fairly full -it will hold 48 ounces (six cups of water) U.S. measurements. I probably use it at the five cup level though since I choose not to fill it all the way. Hope this helps.

I remember reading somewhere on here that it held 1oz of water. I was concerned that it wouldn't be enough, but I've only had to refill it a couple times sinceI've purchased it, and at no time has it felt restrictive at all.

I have no clue how someone could not figure out how to empty this. It's incredibly simple and described in the instruction booklet. You pull out the bottom tray. There is a black rubber stopper on the bottom part. You pull that out and dump water and insert black stopper back in and put tray back in. Not rocket science. I have mine in the sun room of my home. It removes about 8 oz of water per day during humid summer months. It's very quiet. I run it continuously. I would not use it in a room larger than about 10x10.

The stick displaces a little water but it still holds a lot. I dont have a measurement of how much. I dont really use the stick for that reaaon

I just measured the water I was able to put into it and determined it would hold 4.33 gallons, even though it is rated for 5. The problem is trying to get more water into it than that. The best way I have found to fill it is to hang it and use a hose to fill the bag all the way up to the fill port. It is impossible to fill very full while it is resting on a surface. When filled while hanging, it is possible to get 36 pounds of water (4.33 gallons) into the bag. It may be possible to get 5 gallons into the bag using some unreasonable elaborate procedure, though.

When we run it constantly I added water every day just to get the water up to the "full" line, but I never let it go empty so I can't give you an exact length of time for that. If you ran it just off and on for either cooling or to humidify the air you wouldn't have to add it as often. It is very easy to fill.

Have never tried filling with water, but doubt it would hold much. The collapsible feature is done with a spring loaded cylindrical support structure and does not appear to support any compressive load from filling with water.

No there's a holding tank with a valve on it that can be emptied later. See manufacturer's website for more info.

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.

okay--i ran an experiment and it holds a little less than a gallon of water

I'll be frank, it doesn't matter how many pints it holds, it doesn't work. I collected about a teaspoon of water after leaving it on several days. I would say it's capacity is about one pint. I ended up spending the big bucks to actually dehumidify my bath. Hope this helps your decision.

Haven't tried to fill it up, but a standard 0.7l (about 24 oz) wine bottle fits with room to spare even with the cooling stick. Hope it helps and Happy Holidays!

I do not empty mine. I use it almost every day and I don't remember for sure but believe that the instructions that come with it says to not leave it unused for 7 days. I am not real sure but they do make a suggestion.

I wouldn't fill it but it could hold a supply of water or ice. Don't try to move it when even partially full.
