How much water does it use? And why can't I find this info in the specs and description?

Not sure of the size, but I fill it 3/4 full and run it for 12 hours and it still has a little water left in the tank.

Boy, I really don't know. I have city water and use a water softener as well. I'm sure there is a spec! Try emailing the people selling this unit. It works well for me and they have always ansered my questions within 24hrs. Usually sooner.. Good luck my friend !

It seems like its about a gallon. Not sure about the exact spec. And in general it doesn't seem to last as long as I think it should.

I am guessing it is approximately fifteen gallons, twenty at the most. This is very nice and has an excellent pump that comes with it. I purchased this for my mother and she loves it, now I want one.

We have not used it very much to give an answer for this. I primarily wanted it to water a small garden I have near the patio. I was pleased how it works for small and odd shaped areas. I am not disappointed we purchased.

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 don't run mine all the time so I don't have good detailed information. The setting for 'warm' or 'cool' has some effect on how long the water lasts. I am very satisfied with the unit.There are also 3 settings, "low", "medium" & "high" which will also affect the length of time that the water lasts. sorry, but I have not measured my unit under all of these different conditions, so I can't say how long it will run.

Thanks.I should have updated this. We've been using less water and have been much happier with the results.\Anyone who is less than 100% satisfied should experiment a bit :-).-jpr

Well not sure exactly because we have a family of 2 and we have used about 13 gallons in lil over a month 。。。we use it for drinkin and cooking also so maybe times that by 2 should get you a pretty close estimate

I'm sorry, but I don't know. It's down at my husbands office. They are not using it for drinking water.

I am really sadden by the amount of waste water! My water bill went up $50 a month since using this item! I have a family of 5 and use it for drinking and cooking water. I estimate that we waste about 8 gallons of water a day 30x8=240 gallons of wasted water a month...and that is estimating low. No wonder my water bill has gone up so much. I may have to stop using it. I live in a desert and it's just irresponsible to waste so much water!

no idea ~ i didn't buy it with those questions in mind. i'm sure you can get one of the water saver things you can put in the head to conserve water if you wanted

We have ours on for about 2-3 hours at a time with no shut off. (We want it that way.) It doesn't "run low on water." You can know how much water or coffee you have by the meter on the front.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
