We have the kind of soft water where the company comes once a month and replaces the tank. (I think it's called a PE tank;) Will these work for us?

Yes. We have a water softener system, although different from yours. The frog works on wet, and the type of water isn't a factor. It works fine for us.

I have had the leak frogs for 2 or more years. I haven't heard a peep from them till two weeks ago. It really works and I hadn't even changed the battery. Had a leak under the kitchen sink and it sounded off right away. Saved a lot of cash I expect. You can use them on any flat surface. It detects water by using the leaking water to close the circuit. Great peace of mind if you are home.

Twin 30 or 40 gal tanks with an automatic change-over regulator would be a pretty good working arrangement. Keep in mind, the bigger the tanks the heavier they are when you take them in to get filled. ;-)

Yes. I have however heard that the plastic connectors have a tendency to break. If your going to use these make sure it's hooked up outside the tank so you can replace it easily

The brand is the same as the tank, gravel I believe is extra. However I would not recommend this tank. The light is directly above the filter so half of the tank is dark and the filter gets a lot of algae due to the direct light on it. One the filter is covered in algae, this system allows the water to just pass over...so the filter doesn't work at that point.

it depends on the load on the filters. i have two large cichlids that are housed in a 125 gal aquarium and mostly feed them live minnows. the pellets seem to be alot of waste because when they eat them about half escapes out their gills and mouth. monitor your aquarium regularly withe a test kit. this will help you get a feel of how often you need to change carbon and zeolite media if that is what your going to use. love the penn-plax filters best bang for your bucks!

No, the filter won't be able to pull the water up into the filter box. You may want to look into getting a Whisper in tank filter. They're made for turtle tanks.

Not to the system itself i don't think but with the set up I have you could. I have a 275g clean water tank and a bad water tank where the system dispenses the RO water. attached to the tanks are seperate hoses one for watering plants and the other for its intended purpose. I use this water for my mobile detailing company and its the best water I have ever used in the ten years of detailing. Much better then the DI tanks I once used. Hope this is helpful.

As long as you do regular water changes and do not over feed the fish or over stock the tank, the under gravel filter works fine.

It will probably function, but it's not a lot of labor to replace the filter. It probably isn't necessary to replace them as often as recommended. After all, the water isn't going to be used to quench one's thirst.

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA

I have had them work before, there great! It does not come with a thing to put them in but you could use a plastic cup,bowl, tank! Just use poland spring bottled water or if you have a fish tank use some of the water from your tank. Make sure the temp stay at 70 degrees or higher! HAVE FUN ! They should hatch in about 3 days or less.

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

No this is an extra layer of filter. It will not supply enough oxygen to your tank.

Absolutely. Water goes through the filter and what comes out is filtered water. If you want to put filtered water in your reserve tank, this is the thing to do it with!

Hi, I can't say for sure as I have she Noritz, but I have a water softener. I do know there are many recommendations that if you have hard water something should be done to prevent build up.I assume you're considering a tankless as a move away from a tank style water heater. If your tank style did not last many years I'd suggest something to protect the tankless. This of this. These units run water through small tubes that are heated to make hot water. These tubes wouldn't take much to be come clogged. Hope I was of some help.
