I have a tank pump style pourer. I haven't used it yet. We purchased it
used and only have recently rebuilt the motor and cleaned it all out.

I have a couple of questions. #1, how often do I need to do a complete
cleaning of the entire tank and pump?

#2, how long does slip stay good in the tank? It doesn't have an airtight
lid (actually it doesn't have a lid, only the motor mounting on a piece of
hard, see-thru, sliding plastic.

#3, do I need to de-pressuize the line as you would the sprayer on the sink?
And do you run the tank dry?
Thanks for your help!
