Can I use this unit to fill up a 5 gallon bucket continuously? I would like to use this for drinking water and fish tank water changes. What is the capacity of the holding tank?

You can , but the water pressure very strong to fill up a cup but then it goes down after 1/2 a gallon so it will just gonna take longer to fill a 5 gallon container.

I think the tank holds less than 5 gallons maybe 2.5 and then it takes awhile to fill back up.

You would want to get a larger tank and even then, it will take time to refill. It can take a while for a completely emptied tank to refill.

The tank holds 2.5 gallons but there is an option to get a 3 gallon tank. I believe that it takes a couple of hours to refill when empty. I think the Perfect Water people say that in one day's time, the unit can output 50 gallons.

It can hold about 2.5 gallons if you keep the lower chamber mostly filled. Although I rarely keep more than an inch or two of water in "reserve" there myself. Reason being that most any apparatus that this bottle sits atop contains it's own adequate reservoir of water and that by taking this extra step, it keeps the filters dryer (except for the inch or two covered by the water) until the most upper chamber is refilled with about as much as you just used or might need in the shorter term. Love this thing, quick , simple and still getting 3 zeros on their tester - months after first installing. It can hold about 2.5 gallons if you keep the lower chamber mostly filled.

I have been using this in a bird bath-shallow and not very long. It should be perfect for a 5 gallon bucket. It works great.

Yes you can! I am using it in my 5.5 gallon tank, and many others use it as well. You'll want to get around 1 pound per gallon to have the right depth for your tank.

First, the unit doesn't produce a full gallon. Because of that, you can only fill the tank with about 3/4 gallon. I does shut off automatically by use of a ballast that drops to a certain point in the water. There is always about a 1/2 gallon of water and distilled chemicals in the lower part of the tank. There's a drain valve on the back to get rid of the bottom water every once in a while.

Yes, but it only hold the water in the small tank, you would have to fill it again to use again.

Yes, I use it for my water system. It only fills the holding tank and then from there a submersible pump.

You can but you would be filling it every 2 days.I hooked mine into my 500 gallon home tank.

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.

it should hold 5 full gallons, but if you put 5 full gallons in it you won't have room to stir.... I would recommend using for no more than 4 gallons... maybe 4.5

Not recommended. The unit works on a specific amount of water, if it needs 6 or 8oz of water thats what it uses.. Adding water to the tank will not gain anything.

ProPur has a King which holds 4 gallons. I also carry another line which has a 6 Gallon capacity. Let me know which interests you and we can chat more.

Yes, this will hold any size up to 5 gallons. It also has adapter for bottles with special no spill tops. There is a storage unit underneath that is great fo keeping paper work and parts.

The tank sits outside of the kegerator, so you can hook up any size tank you'd like, The line runs through and air tight hole out of the back. There's a tank holder that attaches to the back, but i think it only holds up to a 5gal tank.

Sorta, with a little extra capacity.Depending upon the station and temperature, I have filled from 1.2 to 1.5 into the tank based upon THEIR meter. 90% of the time the fill from empty is 1.3 gallons.

You just put the hold bottle in your tank, and fill your tank to the max if you want to to that. That's what I always done have no problem. It works very good.

Yes I do use it to fill my tank, I also use it when my site has water. Just make sure you flush some water through it before you hook it up the charcoal filter leaves sediment in the residual water.
