Used it with terrible water and got about 300 gallons before I changed it. Didn't use it for drinking water however....

We are not sure. Ours is for a special application, filtering about 150 gallons quickly. Sorry

This video states that it can filter up to 5 gallons an hour. If you are getting performance less than that, you either need to prime the filter before using it OR back flush it to make sure it's clean after extensive use. I'm sure that height of the gray water bucket makes a difference too. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjIVoaIdsss

40 gallons or about 2 months time for an average family.there is a filter change indicator on top of the lid to show you when it's time to change the filter so you don't have to count unless you are so inclined to.

It's not measured in time but more like usage. Our well water is around 120 TDS and we filter a lot for cooking, drinking and portable use in stainless bottles. Usually around 5 gallons a day. We usually change filters about every 3 months. Note our water is already very good so this isn't typical. We have a large 2 filter water cooler style housing. That's around 30 gallons per month per filter. Much better than the advertised 15 or 16 gallons.

I have a 150g set up with two canister filters. I have two of these, one on each filter.

I have a filter system that works for up to 50 gallons. I use White Diamond Ammonia Neutralizing Crystals in it along with regular charcoal filter cartridges. I have a seperate media container that fits into my filter system that holds 4 ounces. (I use a 1/2 cup measure.) If you do the math.. 1 ounce of media should do about 12.5 gallons. *This should be changed out just as often as your charcoal filters (every 2 to 4 weeks).

It depends on how much you use the water from your fridge, the filter is good for X amount of gallons.

I have always used 2 filters at the time.For two people they usualy last about 70 gallons(36 cents/gallon). It depends on the reading you get on the tester from your tap water. Mine is about 240 ppm.I am thinking of purchasing right now a Berkey filter unit. They are a little more expensive but a set of 2 filters($107) works for about 600 gallons(18 cents/gallon). You also have an option for an extra set of filters to remove arsenic and fluoride. Check out their website at www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com.I hope this will help. Drinking clean water is very important.

The packaging for the filter claims that it is good for 100,000 gallons. I'm assuming they are expecting you to be filtering fairly clear water and cleaning the filter regularly. If I get 10% out of my filter I'll be happy.

I'm pretty sure it's perfect for you 20 gallons , I use one for a 30 gallons tall on a DIY trikle 10 gallons filter.

It holds about 2 1/2 gallons. But you'll only get 2 gallons per fill due to the residual fluid below the level of the faucet. You'll easily meet your needs with 3-4 filters.

You can also get more info here: http://www.theperfectwater.com/Home-Master-2-Stage-Fine-Sediment-and-Carbon-Filter.html . It's good for 100,000 gallons before you need to change the filter. I've had mine a year and so far I love it.

It's a certain amount of gallons, but obviously no one is keeping track of that. I think the rule of thumb is every six months depending on usage (although with smaller families or couples maybe a year) but for me I just look at the filter. It will start a light color and very gradually begin to darken. I change mine when it gets completely dark, which is always around the six month mark.

Yes I can but I don't know for how long because the filters are fairly small so I don't know many gallons you could actually come through it before having to replace the filters

With proper maintenance they say 100,000 gallons . Even 10% of that makes it an awesome filter.
