how much water does it hold and how much does it cost to run each year? Does it give out that white dust?

It holds a gallon and I fill it twice a week running on low at night (only), I have seen no white dust, I have no idea how much it costs to run, perhaps the Pure Guardian website could help you with that part of the question.

It holds 1.2 gallons. I assume the 80 hours is for the lowest and coolest setting. At full blast, it lasts 24 hours. I haven't seen any white dust or uptick in my electric bill (since there aren't any filters to replace), but I think any product like this only works as well as the water you put into it. Our tap water is fairly neutral (not too hard or soft).

I just fill it from the faucet so don't know amount. We run it 7 - 8 hours a day and refill every 3 days. My electric bill doesn't go up during the winter when we use it so I'd say it's cost is nominal. There is no white dust just fine mist. It is easy to clean. We really like ours - this is our second winter using it.

4800 gals +. We had a company deliver the water every year, although we had to buy the entire load, $220.00 for 6000 gals. it was well worth it. I loved this pool, we had it for 4 seasons baking in the hot sun on Maryland's eastern shore. Bought a new one this year, but mistakenly ordered the wrong one. Today we put the new one together, smaller, & it did not have any of features of the old pool. My husband has been complaining all day! Have Fun!

Funny you should ask that. We just tested to see how much it cost us to run it for a month it came out to around $80.00. That was to run it all day everyday to keep the temp ready for use at any time.

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!

It holds approximately 3 gallons of water. It is very humid here. We empty it once a day

Surprisingly it holds a lot of water. Depends on how many people are using it but we are 3 and only need to fill and empty it every 2 to 3 days

Not going to sound very smart, but its quite a lot. I've had mine for a 10 gal aqu for 1 year, and I've only used half of it thus far.

We have the tall unit with hot and cold and it's been close to a year and it is awesome. We have it at our business with 18 full time employees and haven't had an issue. So worth the 1 time price instead of paying monthly to water companies especially the one we had before it was $106.00 a month. And I bought extra filters but it hasn't had to be changed yet not like the leased machine we had and when it needed changing it wouldn't give any water. I so recommend this unit and it looks good too!

Unused it can sit indefinitely. The life span is based on the gallons filtered. Once you begin to use it with proper cleaning and dry storage it will purify a minimum of 1000 litres (264 gallons) of water. This is enough water for one person for a year with regular use. However, kept clean and dry it can last years with occasional use.

Oh my gosh Bernie, I can't remember. Seems like it did. I bought a back up pack of filters because I was pretty sure we would need them. Our shower water was really drying my skin. I think the back up two pack costs less now than it did when we first purchased. Totally worth it. Our filters last about three months each, so that is four a year, +/-. Love this unit. It has been the answer to the high desert minerals, wind and dryness that affect my skin so much without getting a much more costly unit. I have dealt with Sayra (Sarah) at their 800 number and she is a great help with questions. M Oh my gosh Bernie, I can't remember. Seems like it did.

It holds a little bit over One gallon and it runs for over 8 hours on a full tank at 50% load. I ran it daily on a recent camping trip. We used it for running the microwave and getting the evening news and the initial fill up lasted a week.

Have you cleaned it. I use distilled water so I don't have to worry about mineral build up. I also have a water distiller which paid for itself in one year. you will also get a white powder over everything with a sonic humidifier with water from the faucet, especially if you have a water conditioner.. I clean out my sharper image humidifier half way through the winter. if you bought it from Sharper Image, they are very good about replacing items that stop working. sorry if this doesn't help.

I'm not sure what you are thinking is false advertising, but I'm coming up with about $0.10 per wash load. $120 divided by 1250 wash loads is 0.096. Most name brands run $0.25 - $0.40 per wash load. So in short, it's inexpensive, it's green, it works, and this bucket lasts about 3 year in my 2 person household.

These hold an amazing amount of water. I use a snow shovel to scoop up the water and pour it into a 5 gallon painters bucket and then dump it into the storm drain. I typically remove two buckets of water when it is really full but try to do it before. I don't have problems with it leaking around the corners. As long as I don't let it overflow, I only get leakage get is where the tires run over it while entering and exiting the garage. The only complaint I have is it can be hard to keep this thing flat. It will start to bunch up after driving on it several times and you will need to straighten it out periodically. Even knowing this, I purchased a second one. It does keep the garage a lot cleaner by containing the mess. Also, be very careful walking on them when wet, they can be very slippery. In the Spring I pulled the two mats out and had a nice clean floor. The mats cleaned up nicely with some soapy water, a soft brush, and a hose to rinse them.

I fill mine daily. I replace the wick/filter annually, since my water is so soft. It still evaporates well throughout the season.

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..,
