How long does it take to filter the water from empty ?

Never really paid attention to that. The first time I used it, I filled it in the late evening. By the next morning, the fill reservoir was almost empty. Sorry, but I can't recall how many hours.

I have answered this before (It is very easy, just unscrew the top) I felt compelled to add to this question. I caution all to read the instructions..if & when you go on vacation & will be gone longer than 10 days, it is recommended you remove the filter & empty the water while gone..once you return, reload the filter & flush it once again (I didn't flush it for the recommended time because I felt I had already done so when setting up for the 1st use & I had been using it for awhile)

According to the manufactures info it is 6 months. We only just installed ours this month and really wont know until the water changes taste. In my experience with filters, most of the time you can get more filtered water than the manufacturer states but that depends on the area you live in (the chemicals in the water).

My filter tank holds 1 liter of water at a time. It takes 4.5 minutes for a liter to filter through into the pitcher. I'm not concerned so much about the speed in that I put my pitcher in the fridge right after refilling.

I would say if you started empty the first time with cold water about 15-18min or so. We top up with room temperature water when it's half full and it takes about 5min. We leave ours plugged in all the time and put it to sleep in the evening to save energy so it also reboils itself in the morning (no waiting for tea!) Hope that helps.

I do not remember. I read the directions. It was not long but of course depends on just how dirty your filter is. Follow directions.

A few hours, overnight at most! I would call and discuss with the manufacturer's rep. Older filters can slow down, and my older ones don't take any longer than overnight. I use city water which is not particular hard.

No, it may take an hour or so for the whole bottom container to fill up with filtered water, but certainly not days! It depends on how muddy the water is though. If the water has alot of particles in it, it could take longer.

Only if you want to be completely sure you've thoroughly removed all the filter impurities. In my opinion, 5 minutes is plenty adequate.

Some people on here are saying clean up is a 2 minute rinse and that is simply not true, unless they don't care about cleanliness. If you actually want to scrub your filter to be free of food particles (my definition of clean), it's going to take 5 minutes minimum, and that includes cleaning the auger, the restrictor, and the screen, as well as any food that was pushed out the wrong end up against the base of the motor.

It takes a while actually a lot to filter....first you need to let the water go through the filter for 30minutes Did you do that? Than you putvthe pieces together.....in the beginning its takes more time than regular i think

Yes that is normal. Fill up the top tank all the way to add more pressure so it goes a little faster, but yes, usually 4 hours to go through a whole filtration.

When you start to notice less water coming through the device, you take out the filter and flip it over. You should then have at least another 3 months before you need to completely replace the filter.

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

I have never calculated the time frame....but I feel comfortably saying at least 8 hours. When you fill the water up completely....The diffuser will turn off automatocally when it's empty.

Is it your first time using the system? The first time you run your water through the filter it will take a while. As the filter ages the water goes through quicker.

Not very long - maybe 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't work at all - I have to empty out the water and refill it before it will work. These are NOT worth the money.
