How long does it take to filter the water capacity of the unit?

I've never timed it but it does take awhile. I fill the top at night and have water in the morning.

Mine takes FOREVER. I get about a gallon per day and have been using it regularly for a couple months now. I know something must be wrong, but I don't know what.

About 2 hours with the optional fluoride filters attached. Faster without. Hope this helps.

It really depends on your water. The higher the number from the wand (ppm) of your water the faster the filter will need to be changed. Our water unfiltered is about 34 and after 5 months we are on the same filter. We use at least two pitchers of water each day, usually more.

Not sure what you are asking. My experience is system was running fine without a filter change after two years. I took the battery out of the unit just because I knew I would not change the filters after only 6 months. When I did change the filters recently, there was no change in the water flow. Hope this helps.

A few hours, overnight at most! I would call and discuss with the manufacturer's rep. Older filters can slow down, and my older ones don't take any longer than overnight. I use city water which is not particular hard.

Hi Ronald you should at least filter 60 gals. of water.Filtration capacity will vary depending on quality of source water.

Hi Greg, That is a difficult question because it really depends on the quality of the water coming into the filter. The more "stuff" that needs to be filtered the quicker it will get used up. The best thing to do is to monitor the flow rate. When the flow begins to slow down noticeably it is time to change.

According to the manufactures info it is 6 months. We only just installed ours this month and really wont know until the water changes taste. In my experience with filters, most of the time you can get more filtered water than the manufacturer states but that depends on the area you live in (the chemicals in the water).

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.

The tap did not leak. It does not take long to fill a glass...maybe a few seconds. It takes about 10 minutes or so to filter the water. I would not recommend this container though. We were changing the filter VERY often, as the water began to smell and taste extremely bad after about 3 weeks. It seemed that the filter was actually tainting the water.

I do not remember. I read the directions. It was not long but of course depends on just how dirty your filter is. Follow directions.

No, it may take an hour or so for the whole bottom container to fill up with filtered water, but certainly not days! It depends on how muddy the water is though. If the water has alot of particles in it, it could take longer.

If you are using just the 2 (7") filters which came with the CeraGrav LP-5, and if they are clean, it should take about 3 hours to filter a full 3.5 gallons...it will take longer the dirtier the filters become. Buying at least 2 more of the filters will lessen the time it takes to filter the water, which, depending on how much water you use, could be a necessary convenience.

You have to lift off the top and pour the water out of bottom unit. Fast it filters around two cups at a time.

If you let the reserve tank actually drain, it takes about 2 hours to fill again. The only time we drain, is when the filters are changed.

It's designed that way so that the water filters better. In fact, the slower you put it the better it will filter. I usually put it on almost the drip and leave it fill a pitcher of several liters, which takes about half an hour +

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.
