Can these fill units be simply taken apart to clean them of silt deposits that may clog them or make long fill times ?

They all can yes but usually the rubber diaphragm is hard and won't seal very good. That was my problem so it was a wast of my time to take it apart was better to just buy new to start

They clean up very well, just do not use CLR or the like on them. It will ruin the finish. Instructions for care and maintenance are inc. with product.

Yes you can. Every part that would or could get debris/dirt in it can be removed for cleaning. A very well thought out engineered design.

I just read John Moore's answer and that actually might be the best way, at least if your cleanout is upstream of the blockage. Pour the stuff in dry and let the next flush expand the product, and carry it toward the blockage. Just guessing here.

yes but you have to make sure to empty them on a regular basis. you also have to tip the urn to get all the water out of it unless you purchase that special pump.

Yes; the fill hole is about a 2-inch diameter so is large enough to do so with minimal delays. Also, the product description states that it can be filled with either sand or water.

Unfortunately, they are part of the base mold. I'm sure you could file them or grind them off.

yes WILLIAM you can,but be sure to rinse out the tank after you finish your chore cycle water through the unit to clean out the bleach solution

Blocked fillter????? We has to use the vacuum to clean ours out and get into the nooks and crannies.. After that it was good to go. I also use different filters now. Went to homedepot and got a heater filter and cut to fit. Much better and it doesnt allow as much dirt to get into the system.

The holes are not punched out all the way, therefor no mess to clean up. So you only need to flatten them to reuse.

The only thing that would make me hesitant about doing that is the lack of head pressure on the impellers, and collecting silt through the intake. You need head pressure to keep the impellers from bouncing up and down inside the pump housing, which could in turn damage the impellers to the point of pump failure. I would recommend a sump pump or even a trash pump for your needs.

Sure but put them in fine mess material so that bits won't be sucked into pump. Also as mentioned by another responder, if meshed, you easily remove if you think unsightly for a social occasion.

No it's not, not sure why your having that problem, I use TSC and they took care of it no problem. Most Filling stations should be able to purge a tank.

I dont think you can take them apart but possibly steam cleaning would work. I have only had mine a month and a half. Doubled on covering so I wont worry about it too often.

You can stand them up while filling them and then once you put dirt in them, yes, they stand on up alone. I love them. I used my last 3 today.

I never used the clean and fill unit so I can't help you. I use this siphon with the Python squeeze bulb and I love it.

It's not so bad. I usually remove the reservoirs and give it a good rinse- I don't usually need to do more. If you want to actually scrub the insides of the reservoirs, you can't because of the way that it is structured.
