How long does it take to filter the 3 1/2 gallons of water?

First of all the cleaner the filter, the faster it filters. When it is new, it will filter the full amount in about 6 hours. After the filter gets some use, it will take a bit longer. I take mine out and wash them every 3-4 months and change them once a year.

If you are using just the 2 (7") filters which came with the CeraGrav LP-5, and if they are clean, it should take about 3 hours to filter a full 3.5 gallons...it will take longer the dirtier the filters become. Buying at least 2 more of the filters will lessen the time it takes to filter the water, which, depending on how much water you use, could be a necessary convenience.

About 6 hours. I put a couple of gallons in after. 3 hours just to top off and check how much is evaporated in that amount of time

If you let the reserve tank actually drain, it takes about 2 hours to fill again. The only time we drain, is when the filters are changed.

about 1/2 gallon when full, takes about 2 hours to get there then it does pretty good. aint fast for sure

Gallons per minute and pressure drop in house if filter doesn't let water through fast enough.

It could take from 15 to 30 minutes to pull 5 gallons out....the unit is best for relatively small amounts (i.e. one or two gallons).......hope this helps (PS I use it to empty the tank on my jet ski)...very best regards,Don

[Sorry, I am having computer problems.] Re the filter. I guess it depends on the quality of your water. We are on a private well, and the water is very good. Our habit is to change the filters every 9 or 10 months. The plumber's rule of thumb at our house is to change things when the water starts to run slow - that could take a year. I'm too neurotic to wait that long! Lastly, there seems to be little water wasted in the process (maybe a small container's worth, about a quart). Best wishes, Lauren

Manual (Page 18) says every 3 weeks, but it depends on how hard your water is. If you have soft water then it's much less frequently (I use distilled water so I don't even need a filter).

The RO system takes time for the water to run through. This allows you access to RO filtered water right away.

A few hours. .you can adjust the flow by loosening or tightening the washer my that attaches the filter.

Depends upon the amount of minerals in water. I have well water through a carbon filter and it runs between 8 and 10 hours. I started buying water out of the machine in the local grocery store and it runs better than 24 hours. But less humidity.

You have to a few hours if just installed..what's happening is that regular water pressure in trying to Squeeze tap water thru 3 water filters...that's why they give you a 3 gal holding tank..it keeps 3 gals in reserve because it takes a while to recharge the system...give it about 3-4 hours...you're going to love it..

to make 1 gallon of filtered water the I spring RO will discharge 2 gallons of water (cleaning the membrane)

very minimal (maybe ten minutes at most). You just have to put on the wheels, attach the filter and the rest is essentially done.

You should only have a flow rate of 1/2 gallon per minute at max. The slower you run it the better filtration you will have.

It really depends on how much you use it, it says about 16 gallons per filter, but I've found that it varies from time of the year (you drink more water in the summer), I'd say you would have to replace a filter at least once every 2 months.

I haven't exactly measured but I would say about 1-2 gallons of water (somewhere in between)
