Do they make one that is larger, as in larger output and/or larger capacity? I have to fill this one up 2-3 times per day. It runs 24/7 here.

Please check the model SU-2020 and manufacturer website. The capacity is 2 Gallons for model SU-2020. http://www.sunpentown.com/su2ulhu.html

we use ours to feed anywhere between 1 gal and 20 gal per day it takes some trial and error to get the setting where you want it. we have it tied to a pressure switch and it probably runs 13 hours per day.

Yes. It has a reserve capacity so when it triggers regeneration it still has preset number of gallon capacity before night time regeneration.

With the original battery you do run out. With a largerbattery you can go most all day without a recharge. The battery will last longer if you drain it before plugging it in again. If that isnt convenient then i have a spare battery charged with me every day just in case. They are fairly inexpensive online and come with a charger.

Return and get a larger capacity one with the proper adaper. Make sure to ask about compatability .

You have to fill it more than once if you intend to run it for 8 hours or more, so plan on investing in wholesale bubble solurion because it kicks out a lot of bubbles. Also, beware the area two feet in front because it will become slick/wet with the bubble solution. Other than that the machine is well worth the investment.

it can be set for two modes to feed a certain amount throughout the day or it could be set for one time a day at a certain time or up to three times a day at the times of your choosing. Be forewarned this item is very noisy when it runs. Also make sure you use premium alkaline batteries. It is very flexible in it's programming you can set it to feed A large amount in the morning or a small amount in the middle of the day and a large amount at night or any combination thereof. Personally I will give this unit three out of four stars. Only two things I wish it had A quieter mechanism and a AC power adapter using the batteries as a backup. it can be set for two modes to feed a certain amount throughout the day or it could be set for one time a day at a certain time or up to three times a day at the times of your choosing.

I'm not sure if you can go bigger, but I don't know why not... As an alternative, I purchased a second tank, purchased a T connector and run both tanks at the same time. Just adding the second tank was enough to make sure we have all the filtered water we need. We never run out. I'm sure you could add more than one in series. You'd have to weight the costs of a larger tank or adding small tank(s) to the series. Hope this helps.

I fill mine every day. I guess it all depends on how dry your air is; I don't know. I am very happy with mine.

yes, one "D" cell will run pump for 20hrs. I used it in a 2gal cooler for live shrimp and it does very well.

It will be that much better and if u get something bigger in the future u won't need to get another one. Mine works awesome!!!!

Its only produces 7 amps,so no its not likely the pump would run at full capacity.

I have two...one leaks and the other one I have had no problems with and it runs everyday. I would of returned the other one but didn't get it done in time. I do plan on ordering another one soon. Was told that they will honor the returns.

You need to refill every day with this model as well. And I only ran overnight.

That's the biggest problem with this item. You have to be at the time you want and you set the hours you want till the next feeding & turn on. I have 2 units, one set for 1:30 am & pm and the other at 7:30 am & pm. They each lose 1-2 minutes every day & need to be reset at 1:30 & 7.30. Using 2 units at 12 hrs means I only have to fill them every other day. I hope this helps and is not too confusing.

Not this one. Even though this was rated at the higher gallons per hour it just couldn't keep up , don't get me wrong nice little pump, we put it in the fountain outside , was not a good fit for our big fishtank however.
