How long is the run time on one water fill?

I just cleaned my wood floor - about 450 sq. ft. The machine was set at 50% steam power. It took about 30 to 45 minutes to clean and the tank was still half full.

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

I timed it by filling it to the "max" line, which is over 2x 1 cup but I wanted to get the longest reading possible. It boiled and shut off in almost 5 minutes exactly (4:58). Keep in mind, that was for 17 ounces and the tap water is especially cold right now so I can't imagine it EVER taking any longer.

I usually fill it to the fill line inside the unit (about a cup of water) and run it until it shuts off. That takes about 4 hours. Unfortunately, the unit doesn't "just" shut off. It alternately shuts off and turns back on for a while before finally stopping. The repeating off/on noise is noticeable enough that it wakes me up when using it at night.

Hi, I have a little electric pump I bought and it only takes 6 or 7 minutes to fill and a couple to deflate..Great Boat!!! Craig

I would agree that it's around an hour. It works well, but it does work well, but doesn't quite flow as fast as advertised.

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.

I have a 2 1/2 gal tank and prob takes around 5 minutes. I have never timed it though.

Yes that is normal. Fill up the top tank all the way to add more pressure so it goes a little faster, but yes, usually 4 hours to go through a whole filtration.

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.

If I recall correctly, using a hose from the bathroom sink faucet, it took about a half an hour to fill the pool. I wasn't the one with control of the water, though, so I can't say for certain how hard the flow was or if it was on all the way. (I was in the pool about to have a baby, so this is going by number of contractions and a guesstimate based on that.)

Dear Friend, I have this item, but have not ran it long enough to give first hand info on this part. HOWEVER, much research including reading the Owners Manual & other peoples reviews, leads me to believe appx 8 hours is a good estimate. Seems like if you run a light load, you might stretch it to almost 10 hours. This is for a 20 lbs. Tank. I have based my back-up supply on 8 hours and have decided to be happy for any minutes I get past that mark. Good luck, R2

Hi! I think between 1-2 minutes should be good. You can fill either a pitcher (or gallon container) twice, and just empty that water out. Your filter should be good to go after that. Hope this helps!

The first few times the filter is ran, you should expect about 12 hours for the basin to fill. After that, we average between 6-8. They do sell a high flow top filter for $15 from their main website and it is worth the extra cash. Good luck!

Very easy cold water in, hot out ,gas in check for gas and water leak. Have a shower. Takes 1/2 to 1 hour.

On my unit it's 20 min max. Usually closer to 15 unless you discharge it almost completely which is a challenge

It should run until all the water/oil mixture has been diffused, and it's much longer than 5 mins. Just make sure you don't fill it past the designated line.
