Does this "Water rowing machine" come with the water or do I have to place it in water?

You will add the water. It will come with a funnel and some anti algae tablets to add to it that should last up to 6 months. Holds about 2-3 gallons at max capacity

New to rowing. Does the water level determine the resistance? If you need to change resistance i.e decrease it, what do you do?

You can add/remove water to change the resistance, but obviously that's a huge pain. The answer I've read elsewhere is that the "right" way to change rowing intensity is to change your pace (just like you would in a real boat). I keep the water at the max level and just row faster for more intense, which has worked just fine.

Is this long enough to be used by someone who is 6’4”?

The advertised max inseam is 38" not 49". The 38" also does not take into consideration that you will be wearing shoes when using the rower. Thicker soles will quickly shorten that inseam. Also, the foot rests pivot by 3-4 inches which will shorten the available inseam. I have a 36" inseam and find that I can only full extend my legs when I've removed the rubber stopper plate from the rail and restrict the foot rests from moving. However, you have to be careful not to strike the back support plate with the seat carriage wheels or you will crack or damage them.

Can you store it upright while water is in it?

Yes, the rower can be stored upright with water. We recommend for it to be placed upright against the wall for storage.
