I know that it will vary, but typically how long does the water last before needing another fill.

As you have acknowledged, there are too many variables to give a meaningful answer. These are Temperature, Humidity, Fan Speed, Room Size and uniquely in this model, Water Absorption Rate (since it doesn't use a pump; see video). These all affect how fast water will evaporate from the tank. For example, if it's humid, water will evaporate more slowly (and the cooler will be less effective, which is why these are made for dry climate). And a faster fan will mean faster evaporation. In short, your question cannot be answered without knowing your environment (Temperature, Humidity, Room Size) and what settings you're using (Speed, Water Absorption Rate, Femininity).

Mine lasted for about eight hours of continuous usage. After that it needs about a gallon of water.

My setting was on III and it would last about 18 hours, if I remember correctly.

If I run at nite from 2100 hrs till roughy 0200 hrs, I fill the water about every 3 days wheter it needs or not. I live in LOW humidity area. I add ice cubes as well

Yes, the water will vary. In peek conditions , that is 110 degrees, I will use 1 gal. of water per hour. So, you will have to fill the cooler every 4 hrs. For my conditions that will drop my temp 15 degrees.

mine go for 2 months, maybe a week or two less if water is not as soft. it starts to get kind of dirty smelling after that ive found. it could go for 3 months probably for someone else, i could see that.

I have not changed my use of water and I got one that only lasted 3 weeks before it was just dripping. The first one went nearly 3 months. They have to be sending faulty ones at times and I am thinking this this not the solution I once thought. I was willing to buy an extra but they hold fast to the subscribe and save policies and make it my problem. I'm giving it a one star because of that.

It depends on your dispenser setting. I last at least 2 weeks (at mid setting)'

We use ours about 12 hours a day and I refill it on the third day. It could possibly go a third day before refilling but I feel better doing it sooner.

No, it does not. And to give you an idea, the water lasts about 24 hours (or less).

I think it's supposed to be two months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first, the "whichever comes first" being the key statement. I change mine every two months, even though I know I don't use anywhere near the 200 gallons at that point. Less than $7 per month for filtered water is worth it to me. I think it needs to be changed that often as leaving it in longer may cause things to grow in it. I just don't take the chance and change it every two months, regardless of the fact that it probably hasn't had 50 gallons run through it at that point.

I've never timed it, but I know that when it's full, it lasts for hours, maybe 4 or 5.

For me it takes 3-4 times more time to fill a glass of water through the filter than with the normal flow of my water faucet (tap). But the difference in the quality of water worths it for me...

I've rarely needed to empty the water. But this is ultimately going to depend on how much you use the unit...

Never really paid attention to that. The first time I used it, I filled it in the late evening. By the next morning, the fill reservoir was almost empty. Sorry, but I can't recall how many hours.

depends on your water source and how much you use the maker. We change ours every 3 months

It depends, of course, on how much you use it and the sediment in and quality of your water supply. Typically for us, it's a year. The flow rate slows considerably when the filter is full. We run out of patience waiting for the slow stream to fill a glass. At that point we order a new set.

I fill a 50 gallon tank which takes around 4 hours at a continuous flow. You get about 1 gallon of filtered water for every 3 to 4 gallons of regular water.

it actually depends on your useage, water quality, and seasonal factors. to be safe, every 6 months to a year will do. -J

It will make up a case of water if not more. I only usually use a glass or two a day.

It lasted me about 6 months. It is really handy to be able to switch back and forth for filtered/non-filtered water. I only used the filtered for drinking.
