    Personally I clean mine every day, in turn this keeps any heavy build up on the walls from falling back into the system. So I don't have to play the adjustment game with the water level, I simply unplug the unit, wash out the goodies, and plug it back in. This is done daily with my psk-75h and I've no issues whatsoever with level control. Eshopps has a nice product there.

    Just to clean out the crud I use my sink water. I make sure to dry out the inner tube with a towel so I don't let any tap dropplets back into the return chamber. The collection cup doesn't matter since it gets cleaned every day, but I still shake the heck out of the cup and lid so I don't drip water all over my kitchen on the way back...;D
