Is this unit large enough to treat my household water supply which has a water flow of 9 GPM?

It certainly works wonderfully for my home which is about 2400 square feet. I had a huge problem with iron in the water.... was literally brown in the bathtub. And now, it's clear as can be. I am extremely happy with this purchase.... wish I did it sooner!

It will easily treat your water, but you may wish to search the exact water requirements for GPM online.

I am doing 10 GPM. I am sure it can take more since I do not notice a drop in pressure before the unit was installed and after the unit was installed. What is your reason for buying the unit?

Not sure. I'm not using the pump for direct outflow out of the house. Sorry I can't be of assistance

I have no idea what flow restriction diameter is but if you try to do this off of a water utility I don't think you will have enough pressure.

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump. Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

This pump will work. However, it would be more efficient to go with a bigger filter.

Absolutely not!!! The unit is a great hot water heater, but this size unit is best for a smaller house and less bathrooms. They do make larger units that will satify your hot water demands. I reccommend that you go their website and look at the tables to properly size what you need.

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.

Hi, I agree with other comments. I would suggest that you would need to cover most of the base area in order to get adequate filtration circulation for the tank size.

Depending on how hard the water is, one unit would probably work under normal water conditions. With very hard water, I would recommend 2 units next to each other on the incoming line close to the water meter.

The water flow will remain the same, the temperature rise will decrease with increased flow. This unit is good for 2 gpm which should be good enough for two showers. I have mine hooked up for one shower and one kitchen connection.

I believe this unit is too small for your needs. If this unit is intended to be used as a whole house water heater, then you need a larger unit.

Absolutely , and in the case of multiple systems in one home - its very common to see one installed in the supply plenum of each system. They are rated to 6,500 CFM , we size them up to 5 ton systems.

For city water I'd think that setup is more than adequate. We have essentially spring/creek water which is filtered, like yours, at the pump then inside at the sink with the EZ-3/4 system. Had that configuration for ten years now without any ill effects. If you're real concerned, I'd recommend a Berkey - which we also have both for "country" water and city water.

I believe the unit states that you should have proper clearance for better air flow. You would also need to check to see if your pump is strong enough to push the water that distance.

That will depend on what you consider acceptable volume and pressure. It certainly would suffice if I were the washer, with bucket, sponge and brush, as all I want from it is a rinse and a bucket-fill. However, if you really want 10GPM, you'll have to go to a very large hose - and have the water system to back it up. It WILL handle normal household pressure, but I'd not leave it pressurized other than when you're using it.

It will do it yes but it's a bit big for a 9 gal in my opinion. Personally for a tank that size I would just get a regular siphon that goes into a bucket. As long as you get the one with the thing you pump with your hand to get it going its easy. With the python I fear it's a bit big and depending on your water pressure I personally find the manual ones have more suction so clean the gravel better. And with the other one being bigger you may find all the water you want out is gone before u have finished vacuuming as the water will go out quick. The python is brilliant for a bigger tank so u don't have to deal with lots of water carrying but with a 9 g that's no problem in my opinion.
