How often will I need to refill the Water Tank?

The app will notify you when the water level is running low and the tank needs to be refilled.

I am moving, how do I properly disassemble the Pod?

You can use the draining tool provided in the tech bundle box to empty the water in the cover and hub. Be sure to have a bowl handy to catch any water that is released.

Do I need to air out the foam portion of the Pod overnight?

For the best experience, it is suggested to allow 24 hours for the foam mattress to fully form and for the Priming process to complete. If you perceive any faint odors or smells after opening, please allow a few hours for the smells to dissipate.
