Assuming "normal" water pressure of about 40 PSI, about how long does it take to empty a 40 gallon black tank?

Empties in About 10 minutes which is slower than a normal 75mm Gravity dump hose but it's a lot cleaner as the fitting and hose is flushed clean after black valve closed which is a good benefit for buying one

Hi Gary, my water pressure is about 80 psi at home and haven't had a full tank, half at best (maybe 20 gal.). For me about 5-8 minutes for the black tank. Even if it would take 3 times that, it is worth it not waiting in a long line at the campground.

It actually takes less time than you would think. It only took a few minutes. You can either let the water drain on its own w/o the water pressure on or turn the water jet on and drain it. If you have lumps or wads of TP, the water jet will blast it apart and push it thru. I've used my Sewer Solution several times to flush my black tank, and it worked out great.

It might take 20 minutes. If you're looking for fast, this is not going to be fast. If you want to use it at home it works great.

Depends on how fast your tap releases water, but you can get a good amount in 20 minutes. If you want to fill it to the brim, though, then its about 25

Yes - all ROs flush about 3-4 gallons for every gallon filtered.This one, like many, recharges after the tank is depleted - so one glass empties the tank after which it recharges for perhaps 30 minutes.

The tank rating is the volume of an unpressurized tank. The actual amount of working volume depends on the pressure switch settings. The higher the cycle range, the less water you will get out before the pump kicks in. This is governed by Boyle's Law where P1V1=P2V2. You can do the math but at 40-60 psi the tank will deliver 10.1 gallons whereas using 20-40 psi cycling will deliver 14.4 gallons.

To be more specific just did a timing for you. It took approx. 12 seconds to drain 4.5 ounces. Hope this helps

I fill a 50 gallon tank which takes around 4 hours at a continuous flow. You get about 1 gallon of filtered water for every 3 to 4 gallons of regular water.

Since the unit does not provide its' own pressure, the flow capacity is somewhat dependent on the flow pressure of the system you are connected too. I can tell you at an incoming water pressure of 40 psi it takes 2 minutes to fill a one gallon jug. Hope this helps. As a side note, we live in an RV and travel all the time, therefore we connect to many different water systems. We have had two different filter systems and this system has provided the most consistent and best "no taste" water.

There isn't exactly a right or wrong when it comes to pressure tanks, you just want the tank to be appropriately sized and charged to the proper PSI (that is, the water pressure that you desire). This tank is considered to hold 82 gallons of water and is precharged to 40 PSI. You can lower the PSI by releasing air or raise the PSI by adding air with a compressor. The larger the tank the more water it can deliver before the pump kicks on to fill the tank. I hope this helps.

if it's working right, it should pressurize it less than a minute. I've had major issues with two of these pumps losing the ability to come to pressure. Haven't had much satisfaction with repair or customer service. I would advise against this pump if you haven't already purchased one.

that will depend entirely on the PSI. However our pressure tank is 40-60 psi range and it will take approximately 10 mins to fill above the jets on ours.The quality of this is very good.

65.1 seconds here on a single flush. I am on city water with 90 - 120 PSI. Sounds like you are in 'the zone'.

Up to 30 psi to 40 psi, it's fairly easy. After that, it takes some effort.

It could take from 15 to 30 minutes to pull 5 gallons out....the unit is best for relatively small amounts (i.e. one or two gallons).......hope this helps (PS I use it to empty the tank on my jet ski)...very best regards,Don

Hi! I think between 1-2 minutes should be good. You can fill either a pitcher (or gallon container) twice, and just empty that water out. Your filter should be good to go after that. Hope this helps!

It is the size of the tank in gallons. The 40 can service a 40 gallon tank by filtering up to 128 gallons per hour. The 15 can take care of a 15 gallon tank filtering up to 64 gallons per hour.

An excell 2750 psi runs with 2.5 gal per min. The 3.0 size is a match. Charts are available on the web. You need psi and gpm
