I have a King 800 that is nearly unusable without at least a 20 minute soak. I also have a King 6k that works OK for me as a splash and go.

This event was about 25 yrs ago when I left a King 4k in water and got sidetracked. When I returned (the next day) the stone had separated from the base and the surface was like wet cement. Had to trash it.
Hopefully that does not happen with current day stones. I would not chance leaving them in water for an extended period. A brief soak (20 minutes) should be no problem.
