A:AnswerIf you're talking about the dispensing spigot. It is a push button operated and you have to hold the button to dispense water and it stops dispensing once you let go of the button.
A:AnswerThe dispenser controls on this model are mechanical so the unit will dispense the water that is in its reservoirs without electricity. However, the electric water pump will not replenish the reservoirs if electricity is not available.
A:AnswerIt appears so. But I can't figure out how to do it without spilling water all over the floor. Having a difficult time finding instructions, but there appears to be a hook-up in the back that corresponds to our wall supply outlet.
