Does this unit use an external water source or is it self contained, and how much water does it use per day?

Hello Harold,The unit is self contained and you adjust the quantity of water added depending on the type and quantity of sprouts grown and your setting of the water pressure control tube.Thanks for your interestDenis - PrepareDirect

It has a reservoir that you fill up with water each day or so. Hope that helps!

It is a self-contained water supply. You only have to replace evaporated water. Or, change the water to put in fresh water when you so desire.

The Freshlife Sprouter is completely self contained and does not include an option for automatic water replenishment. The water barrel will hold approximately 64 oz of water (chlorine free preferred), however the water will evaporate over time. We recommend that you replace the water every day as sprouts love the fresh new water. At the very least, be sure to change the water daily in the first few days of sprouting, then look for clouding or foam to determine when water should be replaced next. Enjoy!

I'm sorry it took so long to answer, I was trying to get a hold of the company. It lasts for about 2 hours under continuous use before needing to add water. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

It's a single hose unit. Also no drip collector to empty -- it re-evaporates condensed water.

I believe the ratio is about 3 to 1 for the stock system without a permeate pump. It seems like a lot but realize the average person uses 100 gallons a day for showers etc. So, for a gallon of pure water a day you use 4 gallons total. I feel itis well worth it. However, I purchased a permeate pump which reduces waste water and increases pressure. Still cheaper and better than bottled water.

It produces 1 gallon of water at a time. I bought an extra filter but I don't remember how much it was. I love the machine!

This is a self evaporative unit. Water is expelled through the exhaust hose. You will only need to drain the unit if you live in a very humid climate. I'm in California, and I haven't needed to ever drain mine (used since 2010).

I get very little waste water through my system..Just once in a while the holding tank will have a little overflow, but not too often. Overall this is a very efficient system..

I'm not sure what you mean by external. In the back of the machine there is a clear, plastic, reservoir. You may not be able to see this in the picture. That is the water source. You won't be disappointed. I have gifted 3 of these and all 3 recipients said they will never use anything other coffee/espresso machine. Ever!

The only humidity control is a tray at the bottom of the unit that you put water in for humidity...no auto-fill.

It all depends on the humidity of the room you are using this in. I've had this for a year and I've never had any water accumulate in the Unit but then Reno, NV is very arid. It is normal when first using this, for it to produce more water. As the unit runs there will be less humidity in that area, so it will taper off some.

about 3/4 of a gallon of water (I buy distilled water by the gallon), it will run on lowest for several days without refill.

the numbers are the amount of filtered water it can produce in "gallons per day" . you are the only one who can answer the second question, since you're the only who knows how much filtered water you need in a day.

It really depends on the size of your house. Mine is 1200 SQ FT and when the unit is working (during the winter) I'm pretty sure it uses 4+ gallons per day. I am using distilled water in this unit (hooked direct to my distiller tank) and there is no way I can stop the unit from "flushing" itself - which is a complete waste of water. At least I don't have to bother cleaning it anymore...........the distilled water leaves the unit spotless. The only downside is that I have to await the day when the unit becomes inoperative because the plastic cracks again. A sad waste of $1200. If you are thinking of buying this unit - DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I know it is self contained. No computer needed, just a Wi-Fi connection. It stores just enough to feed the stream. Mine runs on a 1.5 mb download DSL with limited buffering times.

It has a self contained, removable water container as well as a hose attachment so that you do not have to use the water container.

It holds about a cup of water and it will shut off automatically when it runs out. I'm guessing run time would be dependent on humidity..,

It probably depends on how much humidity you have. The instructions say each unit removes up to 7 liters of water per day. We have a large living/dining room with cathedral ceilings. We have several musical instruments that require humidity to be maintained between 40-60%. We use two units. On Auto mode they usually keep the humidity between 55-60%. So the units are great for our needs. I should warn you that the conversion of vapor to water does release heat, so it also warms the room a few degrees depending on how much humidity it is removing. There is also a low mode that is very quiet and keeps our humidity around 60%, and there is a high mode that we don't use. It probably depends on how much humidity you have.
