That will depend on your water pressure, temperature, and contaminant load. At 77 psi, 70F and 250 ppm it will waste about 4 gallons per gallon purified. We offer though our company website a permeate pump upgrade kit that will reduce the actual water waste by up to 80% depending on your conditions. Please be sure to use our kit as it contains everything you will need to make the pump work correctly with the system. It includes the pump, mounting clip, pre-cut tubing, a replacement flow restrictor, and instructions with a schematic. If you do not use our kit you will void your 5 year warranty.

Officially, 40 gallons or every 2 months. However, I think you just need to be a bit creative when using it. First, you need to know the quality of your original water. If the original water is good, you may not need to change so fast. However, if the original water is bad, you may need to replace it faster. The filtered water do give better taste than the original water, so when you the taste of the filtered water turn bad, you may want to consider to change it even it has not reached the 40 gallons / 2 months mark.

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

it depends on the filtering system, but i think 2 500ml should do the job, as i use 2 500ml bottles for my 60 gallon tank.

i thought this can only filter 25 gallons? I'll have to go back to my manual to verify. 265 gallons seems like way too much. even my bad ass water filters on my fishtank can't do that many gallons.

As Leaser states below, it depends on the quality of water you start with. I use mine at work, so I only run about a gallon a day through it, five days a week. The tap water measures about 180-200 ppm on the meter, and it lasts me about 2 months per filter, around 40-50 gallons, I would estimate.

It's not measured in time but more like usage. Our well water is around 120 TDS and we filter a lot for cooking, drinking and portable use in stainless bottles. Usually around 5 gallons a day. We usually change filters about every 3 months. Note our water is already very good so this isn't typical. We have a large 2 filter water cooler style housing. That's around 30 gallons per month per filter. Much better than the advertised 15 or 16 gallons.

They have 3 13,000 gallon ceramic filters so in theory 39,000 gallons. That can be done if you are not just filling it up with dirty water, so what you need to do is pre-filter the water through cheese cloth or a towel or something so that your not clogging up the filters. Then make sure to brush the filters clean once in a while and this will do great for you.

You don't put it into the tank directly- It goes into the filter. So the amount depends on the size of your filter.

I am not affiliated with the manufacturer, but I believe it is 200 gallons. I use filtered water for the same reasons. I do not trust water out of the faucet.

It depends on how much you use the water from your fridge, the filter is good for X amount of gallons.

Each filter change is different. You will have to look at the spects online, track by product part #. I believe it's by how many gallons of water go through the system.

Per ZeroWater's website: Though we are lab-certified for 22.5 gallons per filter under the strictest conditions, our customers with tap water near 200 TDS tell us that one filter will treat about 30 gallons of water before seeing a reading of 006 on their TDS meter. The lower the TDS, the longer the filters will last. You need to test your water to know for yourself.We are a household of 2 and our water tests at about 300 and we change the filter about every five weeks.

According to the website the bottom tank for the filtered water is 7 liters (~1.8 gallons) and the top part where you pour the pre-filtered water is 5 liters (~1.3 gallons). The filter is rated to filter 211 gallons, so that's about 114 refills of the 7 liter tank.

It's a certain amount of gallons, but obviously no one is keeping track of that. I think the rule of thumb is every six months depending on usage (although with smaller families or couples maybe a year) but for me I just look at the filter. It will start a light color and very gradually begin to darken. I change mine when it gets completely dark, which is always around the six month mark.

I use between 16-20 drops per filtered gallon o neutral (7.0ph) water. I get about 100-120 gallons of alkalinized water per 1.25 oz bottle.
