Can the unit run without the tank installed? As in could I rig up my own way to continuously drain this unit?

No, tank has to be in unit to operate and drain plug is in top of tank so not sure how you could make it self drain. Tank fits very smug with no room to add drain tube. Hope this helps you.

I do not think so, I just looked at the unit, I do not see any place to attach a drain hose.

Tank fits snug with no room for extra drain tube. Drain plug is in top of tank and yes, tank has to be in unit to operate. Hope this helps

No. The unit has a removable tank that you must empty. Minor inconvenience.

I don't think you can, as the water it uses is housed in the reservoir built on the device. That function also requires AC power.

It has a place for a hose hookup. The machine shuts down when the tank is full. But just to set the unit over a drain wouldn't work. You would have to hook the hose up to it The machine works great..

No. This tank came already pressurized and ready to go. It was just a matter of hooking it up to the system. No filling or draining required, no time at all.

No "auto-drain". Open the drain and either put a bucket behind it (in which case unit will have to be elevated above the bucket), or run a hose from the drain out the window (in which case unit will need to be elevated above the end of the hose the goes out of the window).

Yes, and Yes. It is hard wired into the system and runs off of shore power. Unit shoule be off if you are running the trolling motor...unless you have a very long extension cord. :>)

It depends on how your plumbing was installed. We installed this unit after installing the tankless

No it does not need to be running. Simply connect the can to the inlet and spray. The water should come out of the outlet. That is all.

Ed there is a drain plug on the front of the tank at the very bottom. I believe a garden hose would connect to the drain. The threads look like garden hose threads. I can check if you would like

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation

Mine did not run at first. It had the circle with the triangle and the water drop indicator. According to the manual the means the tank is full on the tank is not positioned correctly. We are using the gravity drain, but I did notice that the Styrofoam block was in a position where is could not "float". I freed up the block by bending the plastic a little and replaced the tank. Voila.

Sorry no idea. We run off of a 500 gal. tank. Suggest you contactB & S directly- their engineering dept. will be able to answer.

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

Yes you can. If you use an external regulator I also recommend placing an accumulator tank between the regulator and compressor. I use a 70 cu in Bimba tank purchased from a surplus shop for my accumulator. It also keeps the compressor from cycling on as frequently.

Yes, you can do that. You can also bypass the float switch and run the pump manually by unplugging the pump power cord from the piggyback plug on the float switch and running it directly to the power outlet.

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.
