Is this filled with water? How much?

Yes,You fill it with water up to the fill line (about half way). This allows the carbon dioxide from the fermentation to escape while preventing outside air to come in contact with your brew.

you fill it yourself with sterile water or vodka about 3/4 of an inch each use..

It comes empty. You put the water in before it goes on the carboy. There is a line on the devise so you don't under-fill or over-fill it. This things is a very ingenious devise.

Yes, but not to the top so that the bubbler can function. I usually fill so that the slots on the bubbler are covered. Some people use a clear alcohol (vodka) to make sure no bacteria can enter the fermenter or carboy.

I think it is something like 2 gallons maybe. However, to be honest I used this for a year and it is breaking down pretty bad. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this unit.

Yes the bottom compartment will fill with water, this is perfectly normal. It should not overflow, unless there is a crack in the base. I hope this helps!

You can fill it with sand or water, but why would u want to ? I bought this and returned it soon as I opened the box. It look like a toy for kids to play with, cheap plastic.

I believe it was around 5 gallons when we filled ours. It must be completely full.

It is not liquid filled. Longacre does make liquid filled gauges but they cost twice as much.

A lot. We used a funnel to get it in. Mine is only half full and my 8 yr can't move it too much. I filled the large size Tupperware 3.4 full at the beach. Probably can hold a whole large Tupperware of sand. Can use water but hard to empty. I worry about a leak in my apartment. I am a 45 yr old adult and use it as well.

The reservoir holds about 5 cups. It is easy to refill or top up, and has a clear indicator for the water level.

Theoretically, based on its dimensions, about a 150 gallons or so (around 500 liters), but its design is such that the sides tend to buckle inwards or outwards, spilling most of the water. So, in actuality, not a lot.

I am not really sure. I think it's filled with water. There has never been a break or puncture-- so I am not sure what it is filled with. It is a clear liquid--but I am not certain if it is filled with water or gel. I think water.

trying to figure out if this would hold enough water or do I need one with a tank?

It does fill with water but is bad to run it while dry. You wont be able to tell how much is in it. I definitely would not use it without a jug on.

I would say approximately two gallons of water. Last summer my one year old granddaughter used this. I filled it with about one and one half gallons and it worked well. It blocks the sun very nicely but the top can be removed if you are in the shade. The construction is very well made. I would highly recommend this product.

Fills with water. Mine rusted within weeks though. Have to repaint every 6 months.

It is just a tad over 3 TBS. I used sugar as I don't think it would hold water.

We don't fill it with water as we have it float on the pools surface for the kids to play. I don't see a way to add any water to the base.

It is but an inch or so of water, but replenishes quickly. I LOVE these waterers.
