How fast does it refill the tank I plan on using it to change my water in 2 40 gallon fish tanks will i have to do one tank a day?

Put a booster pump on it and it can run constantly and it will increase the efficiency as well as the capacity

If you're running a saltwater reef tank with coral, I would add a DI chamber.

The tank is only for buffering.I think the flow should be OK to do at least one 40 G tank the day.Good unit ,Water is great

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.

We just finished filling it. It took two days. I don't have a new water bill yet so I don't know how many gallons.

It will handle your filter needs, but if you are thinking of upgrading because of getting a bigger tank then think about a 1200 or 1500. The numbers are liters per hour, not gallons per hour. Hope this helps.

I think that this would be a bit much for a 40 gallon tank. I would go for a lesser model. it works well on my 55 gallon tank but I would not go lower than that

Yes, you are supposed to dose the size of your tank before you start to refill no matter how much of a water change you are doing. For example, on my 55 gallon when I do a 30% weekly change I dose the whole tank (55 gallons.... actually I am paranoid so I double dose for 55 gallons with Prime) and then refill the tank with water. I saw some good advice about not restarting your pumps/filters until about 10 minutes after refilling, just to make sure the water is dechlorinated and that no chlorine hits your filters/beneficial bacteria material.

Uses 4 filters at once, so it filters faster. Each filter filters 3000 gallons (I called the company to confirm by the time I want to purchase it). So, just change the filters after 12,000 gallons filtered. Another tip I wished I knew before, be patience with the taste. Just after three full filtration I finally got the amazing and fresh water taste. I have been using it for about two month for all the cooking and drinking, love it. It is worth each dollar and all the research I did.

I think along the way somewhere I read it was one and a half gallons. But taking into account the filter and feed tube I doubt that its much more than a gallon capacity. I know with mine set at high would run around 8 -10 on a full tank. The only way to know for sure would be to measure the water you put in it. But since mine died on me I cant do that for you. Hope this is some help.

79 gallons max per hour, I use it in a 20 gallon long aquarium with about 8-10 gallons of water and it works great with my 1 adult painted turtle.

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.

Your RO will make better water, and your cycle times in filling the reserve tank will be quicker. In a essence, yes it will work more efficient time wise, but you will end up with close to the same amount of waste water.

It will double in size each time. I started with 1 gallon and now I have enough for 6 gallons at a time. In about a month.

I actually purchased a Propane Tank Fill Adapter that I use to refill from a 20lb tank.It refills my 1lb tanks in about a min. Then I just go change out my 20lb tank at the local hardware store

It definitely siphons more than 1 gallon per minute, but I haven't timed it. I can tell you that I drain my fish tank in very little time with this siphon.

I use it when I do a 10 % weekly water change. And on initial tank start up, waiting a few days before adding fish.

Yes, I have it in my 55 gallons tank...just takes about 3hrs to produce 5 gallons of RODI water which is fine for weekly water changes

This unit makes 75 gallons of RO water a day, which means it makes a gallon of water in about 20 minutes (or an 8 ounce glass of water in about 75 seconds). We use RO water for all drinking and cooking (we cook a lot). We have not had any problems with the unit keeping up with us (and our two dogs, which only get RO water).
