How quickly does the water drain out? How long would it take for a 1-liter bottle (or whatever size—i can do the math) to empty?

These have been very hit or miss for me. On some they will last about a week and a few days for a 1L bottle, but I have had some where they just empty into the plant and leak all over my furniture, this has happened so much I no longer use them. :(

When I used them it let water out continuously, even after the soil was completely saturated and pooling with water. I used smaller bottles, but I don't imagine it would take more than 2 or 3 hours for a 1 liter bottle to empty out.

I used a 2 L bottle thinking these would work well for over vacation last year....However after testing them when I received them, they didnt last more than a day and all the water was drained out. I wouldnt recommend them!

My experience was not very good. As soon as I put the stake in the pot every bit of water immediately came out of the cone, so it was worthless for watering over a period of time, which is why I purchased it. Try the cones that are made of terra cotta. They distribute the water slowly.

Depends on how fast your tap releases water, but you can get a good amount in 20 minutes. If you want to fill it to the brim, though, then its about 25

From empty maybe 20-30 minutes. But you never let it go that low. I usually only let it get down to about 15-1600 psi and then refill. No more than 5 minutes for that.

I don't really know, but I'm guessing I get about 5 minutes of spraying out of a tank so it's probably about .2 gallons per minute (but don't quote me on that...)

The water will begin to filer immediately. It probably takes about 2 mins to filter the entire thing though, but if you just want a glass you can start it as it filters.

Because the water is stored in a water bottle, there is no holding tank to clean like a larger unit. The area the water flows into is very small, and I've never cleaned it! I just lifted the top of the unit to inspect since you asked and it's as white and clean inside as when I got it months ago and I use it almost every night. I do only use distilled water in it though which may be why.I buy "simple truth vapor distilled water" in the 33.8 oz(1liter) size, but refill it from one gallon jugs which are inexpensive.I just pulled out the instructions and it shows to clean with included brush and to soak with a solution of "EZ Cal" (I assume this is a commercially available mineral deposit cleaner) for 30 minutes. But like I said, its like new inside.

Yes the tap leaks for 3-5 seconds directly after using it. Doesn't take long to fill glass though. We put about 2 pitchers of water in when empty and takes about 10 min to filter. I would not recommend this product.

The one pound container is about one cup, maybe a little more. I have cleared a slow drain with about 1/4 cup. Then add a heaping tablespoon once a week. If you follow the directions you'll get about two treatments. It's expensive, but worth the price. It's less than a plumber call. In fact, i found out about this when the plumber left his empty bottle in my trash.

There is a knob for purified water and normal water(its on the right side of unit. You can see it in the picture.). Normal water flow is same as your tap flow but flow for purified water is less. It takes almost 20 secs to fill 1 lt bottle. But for me its not too slow.

4 or 5 minutes , its pretty quick if you start it with hot water in the reservoir. but the pump is not great, because it shoots out,goes all over . i use a little scoop instead of pump.

I never went through the whole bottle. In fact, I probably used it for 3 weeks (that is how quickly it worked for us) and the bottle still looks almost full.

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.

My filter tank holds 1 liter of water at a time. It takes 4.5 minutes for a liter to filter through into the pitcher. I'm not concerned so much about the speed in that I put my pitcher in the fridge right after refilling.

It's about 2 to 2 1/2 gallons I would estimate. Their guide doesn't say. I use it with a continuous drain and it works perfectly. Very happy with the purchase.

The speed that the tank is emptied depends on how much humidity is already present and how high your fan is turned on. I have a unit of the same size in a bedroom -- it takes about 36 hr for the tank to go from full to almost empty with the fan on the lowest setting. If you have moister air, it will take longer to empty the tank. (which is actually a good thing since you usually don't wan't to over-humidify.

Actually it has a 30 minute watering button on the side labeled "30 min water cycle." You press that, it gives you about 15 seconds to leave the area, then it waters for 30 minutes. A pretty cool feature!
