I would like to fill the tank sitting on the stand because it's heavy, but it won't start if I do. I have to fill it, then lift it. Also I leave it on the stand, take the pitcher off and replace it it begins to process the 1/3 water remaining, so I guess it has to be emptied right away. The water is delicious though.
Sorry that this did not work out. I was shocked to see the TDS reading was higher post filtration (approx250ppm) than the TDS of the source water (approx 200 TDS). I returned both units promptly and am still waiting for my refund.
