How many gallons-per-day is this rated to provide? Thanks!

This system is using a high efficiency, Dow Filmtec membrane to produce up to 90 gallons per day.

Im not exactly sure how many it makes per day but I have a family of 6 using it all the time and we don't run out of filtered water ! Hope this helps!

I replaced mine at about 10 months. My well water contains about 450PPM. I would estimate I use around 40-50 gallons of RO water per week.

Dear Valued Customer, Sawyer states, "1 Million Gallons Guaranteed! We didn't actually run a million gallons through the filter, because that's a lot of water... but we could have. We are confident in our million gallon claim because you can continually clean the filter by backwashing it with clean water. So there really is no end to its useful life. That is why we can GUARANTEE THE FILTER FOR LIFE as long as you follow the simple care and use instructions." We hope that this sufficiently answers your question, please let us know if you have an additional questions. Sincerely, Thunder Mountain (ThndrMntn) Sales and Service

It's my understanding that it can distribute 7 times a day. My mother only needs it one time a day. My brother is actually the one who fills it but it is good for I believe, 28 days. He says it works great.

About 1 1/2 gallons. I use it in my greenhouse to keep the humidity up for my orchids and I usually fill it once a day.

I only use one little pump per day. I have to say I was impressed with the tiny sample package I tried first that lasted me 4 days!! So I think think this should last quite a long time.

It really depends on the size of your house. Mine is 1200 SQ FT and when the unit is working (during the winter) I'm pretty sure it uses 4+ gallons per day. I am using distilled water in this unit (hooked direct to my distiller tank) and there is no way I can stop the unit from "flushing" itself - which is a complete waste of water. At least I don't have to bother cleaning it anymore...........the distilled water leaves the unit spotless. The only downside is that I have to await the day when the unit becomes inoperative because the plastic cracks again. A sad waste of $1200. If you are thinking of buying this unit - DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe it is 5+, not 6.5. however, I am not entirely sure. I do know that the batch I made was for 5 gallons and that it worked well for that. They may have been room for more, but not sure how much more. That's the best I can do for now.

I would start off with 1/4 teaspoon per gallon; however, there are a multitude of other questions that need to answered. What is your ppm target? EC target? How often do you refill your reservoir? Is your water temperature optimum? Is your water temperature constant or does it fluctuate a lot? Remember you are adding salts, so don't over do it or over apply. When I was growing, I would add 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water and feed my plants approx. 1/2 gallon of the solution(along with other additives added to the solution) once a week. Ok to use with most greens I would imagine.

It will ALL depend on your water quality. You should be able to hit that (or better) pretty easily. I am in the Houston area (nasty municipal water supply) and I am getting about a gallon every 3.5 minutes. Also depends on how often you clean your filters.

Hi, Buffy... about two-and-a-half gallons. When filling the upper gravity feed portion, though, make certain there is enough "room" in the lower receptacle for the water. I made the mistake of filling the upper portion when the lower section was only about half full and I had "spillage"...

I don't think that it is listed. I normally used it (a gallon) in 30 days or less

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.

I think only about 1.3 gallons. We just bought this for the office and it is not running for nearly 36 hours like the manufacturer suggests.

I imagine the 170 gallons a day is either in a squeeze bag, connected to a tote, or something of that nature. 1-2 liters per hour sounds pretty realistic given the pore size on the filter, and what it is designed to be. As with any survival item, never wait till you have to use it to test it. Leaving something in the wrapper that your life may depend on to keep it shiny is a sure fire way to get you killed.

Hard to answer since it's just two of us. But it's rated for 200 gallons and we haven't had to change it before that gallon count. It does seem to last much longer (months) than our previous culligan one.

I can't answer you with a specific gallon amount but I can tell you that I've been using mine for probably 20 weekends over the last year, averaging about 2 showers per weekend, and I haven't gone thru a tank yet.
