Just going to use this for everynight showers. Is the 5L large enough for this, or should I need to go with the 10L? Basically, what is difference?

I've used the 5L for showers without any problems. I don't feel that the 10L is necessary. AS I stated in my review the temp is tough to regulate but the water never gets cold. Use lowest water setting and adjust the temp as needed. That seems to work the best. Enjoy.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

We have the 5L and don't have a problem with the number of gallons per minute that it produces. I think the only difference is the 10L pumps out 2.5 gpm but I could be wrong. Hope this helps. We use it for an outdoor shower at our farm and love it!

I have mine hooked up to a sink so I have both hot and cold water. What I can say is that I have filled a large utility sink and had plenty of hot water to do so. In my opinion, the 5L would be plenty for nightly showers.

We used it for a week and 3 of us took showers every night , the only thing is difference is the gals per min. that is heated, Hope this helped, we also did the dishes 3 times a day

I would order the 20 gallon one since your take is more bigger. But if you feel like you will be upgrading soon I would consider going for the 40 but def. 20 will work just fine. I honestly love my 10 gallon one on my 10 gallon tank.

I would go with XL. The XL size is not that much larger than the ML size in terms of length. You may not have to cut an XL/XXL size. It would just bunch up at the bottom a little. You might want to cut some of the threads if they get in the way when you walk.

If you are not sure what size you need I would definitely go with the larger size. You could always use a washer to make up the difference. There is really not a lot of difference in size between 7/16 and 9/16. Go with the bigger size.

You can get a 10x12 room done without a problem. I tend to go heavy on the water to get deep cleaning vs doing the way suggested. I really like my shampooer, especially the lift away feature. Great for doing cars and stairs or furniture. Highly recommend it. We replaced most of our carpet, but will still use it to clean the vinyl. Hope this helped.

I am 5'8 and I feel comfortable using the 9''. However, I think the 7'' will be even more comfortable than the 9''. In general, I would recommend using the potty as you will notice the power in discharge than the normal way.

I just bought it for my 5.5 gallon. The hood I have is standard, the opening is pretty much the generic sized "hole" (7" wide, 2" deep) available for that sized hood and it's close, but it fits. The filter doesn't make that much of a current - in fact, the current is water output is less forceful than the output of the cheap filter I replaced with this one. The picture on the box of the water output flow is very deceiving - it's not a waterfall as shown, it's a trickle effect. Very happy with it nonetheless, it seems to live up to the promise on the box that it "keeps water crystal clear". I just bought it for my 5.5 gallon.

I use the .5L size to fit in a pocket for sporting events or other places where the "beverages" are expensive to purchase. Use the larger sizes for extra water when backpacking. Never had any leaking with any method of carry. I use the standard screw top sold cap, but there is the option to buy a bite valve style, no knowledge with those.

I attached an 8" rain shower head. Works great. 10" will fit no problem. 12" might be pushing it depending on the showerhead design.

I use the size 10...they work great!! And if you take care of them, they will last forever!! I clean mine in mineral spirits first then hot soapy water :)

There are too many variables to really answer that accurately. How often and how long are your showers? Bath tub or just showers? Do you have a dishwasher? What temperature setting will you have on it? How long is the hot water pipe run to your furthest appliance, etc. I have a large tank with generator, fireplace and the hot water heater. I fill it up once per year unless the generator runs due to a power outage. The Rinnai is quite efficient, but I would recommend you go with at least a 30lb tank and have another full tank on stand by until you learn your usage.

I run two inline for my shower in Seattle and it works great. I don't believe one would do the job though, unless you lived somewhere very warm. One is more for providing heated tap water. Washing hands, brushing teeth etc, but not shower volume.

I would recommend something bigger unless you have a stall shower. This covers less than half of a full size shower. Something with more texture on the top would be better for your situation.

It's just personal preference. The compartments are sloped so that water drains back into the shower no matter which compartment is on top. I went with the smaller on bottom simply because I thought it worked better for soap, razors, etc.

Definitely go with the larger version. We have two and it will last for a while.

I bought a large and my pack is 80L. I think they only offered large when I bought mine though. My pack fits in the large with extra room. If you were looking for a more snug fit a medium might be the better option. I would just buy both and return the size you don't want after you try both of them out. Good luck

I have this pump and use a 350 gal tote myself. My tote is ground level and I pump out the top with a garden hose. The pump provides real good pressure for my shower, matter of fact I can only turn the shower on about half way as the shower water heater cannot keep pace with the water from the pump. The pump has a screw in the front that allows you to turn the water pressure up or down. I just left it set as it came from the factory. What I would like to know from you is how well does the shower work? I have been considering buying one and replacing the shower water heater I have. ralphmorgan at msn dot com.
