Just bought one, Can I just clean this out with water? Are there parts that I shouldn't touch water with? Thanks

I don't think there is any problem with washing it out with water. It is just plastic and ceramic. Can't imagine what it would harm. But I don't know what the manufacturer recommends. I couldn't read the book that came with it.

you don't want to rinse it out inside, use a pail or something, I cleaned up outside, it takes alot of water to clean properly. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned properly before putting away

I haven't had a problem with cleaning it. I rinse it right after I use it. Try letting it sit in hot water and then spin it

I have not had a problem with wet things including water, the trick to this vacuum is to keep the filter clean. if the filter is clean then all is well

I'm not sure what you mean by clean it. After almost a year of use, it has never had a reduced water flow, which would be the only reason that I would know of for cleaning. I also have very hard water, but no buildup that reduces water either. I would imagine you can replace the strainer, or clean it if needed, but haven't had to do anything at this time. I realize this doesn't answer you, but it all I can tell you at this time.

Clean it per the instructions using an 80% water 20% muriatic acid solution. Soak for 10 minutes. Rinse with fresh water. Mine did the same. I cleaned it and it works like new again.

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.

No you don't. At least I don't. I don't have the manual anymore but I've never added any water unless it is to sterilize. I've had it for over 4 months and it is still working fine.

I cleaned the preowned one I bought with soft scrub with bleach. Rinse well. I cleaned and sanitized all at one time.

It is new. I have not cleaned it yet. I guess I should be able to wash it with water because it is made of gel on the inside.

As far as I can tell you can't. I clean mine immediately after every use. Just ensure you run plenty of water through it.

No, only water...you can't clean mechanism and it may grow bacteria, etc. Sorry, that's what the directions say....

Haven't cleaned ours, but I was thinking of taking it outside and cleaning it with a can of air. Hope that helps

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquids besides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

Your not going to clean this properly, just clean it as best you can with hot water and alcohol, use it for a length of time & replace.
