What is the minimum water level fill height in inches?

A rough estimate, based on the size of the unit and specifications would be 10 inches. I've heard, have not tried this myself, that you can use the unit horizontally. In the case of using it that way you could have a 6 inch water depth, but I wouldn't recommend it for that type of use myself.

you can turn this heater on its side - so i would say probably 3" of water would cover the heater.

Hi there :) I just looked in order to estimate. A half-inch from top of aquarium is where the max line is on mine, so that's where I would fill it to. Minimum is 3/4 inch from top of aquarium.

We play with ours while shallow 1" or less but as the water flows I think the most is 6 or 7 inches......and it is super easy to just step on the side and drain it out.....that happens while the kids play anyway

No minimum flow necessary. There is a built in trickle gauge so you can monitor all water flow.

It depends on the amount of space or how deep of an area you're trying to fill. I would suggest going to this website for most of your answers. http://www.moderustic.com

unfortunately I bought the wrong pump for the application. The water table is about 200' 1-1/4" pipe The pump sets at 285' what pump should I have bought.

The manufacturer recommends anywhere between 7-9 inches of water. When I originally bought this skimmer I had mine in 9" of water and it was flooding out the collection cup even when I had the adjustment all the way down to 0. I made a simple riser stand out of acrylic to take it to 7" of water and it has worked great for me. So to make the answer short and sweet yes 7" should be ideal depth for this skimmer. Hope this helps,Ben

I did about a quarter of an inch. If water comes up when you close it there is too much.

Hi Jason! Pretty darn low actually. I would say about 1/4" of an inch. I normally fill my Raindrop fountain all the way to the rim and my kitties enjoy the water for days and my wife and I enjoy a very quiet unit. The key to keeping the unit quiet is assembly. The pump suction cups to the bottom of the bowl and it's output spout is what positions the top stainless cover. Position the pump right and the top cover will not touch the bottom stainless bowl in such a way that it vibrates too much. I love this bowl and I've had many different ones!

I would think for safety reasons it would not be best to under fill. When the pool measurement says 15ft circumference, 48" high, the water is filled 6" lower to accomodate the air ring. Hope that helps.

I really can't answer this, we have had it for 8 months now, and have never let the water level stay empty or too low. Sorry.

The amount of water used will depend on your elevation and the doneness desired. I use the bottom lines between #6 and 7

It's not good below 2 or 3 inches. I believe that you need a smaller pump for that depth.

I don't know if this helps or not, but the box says "designed for minimum 12" sump basins"

Yes, with all three levels assembled the maximum diameter is about 13 1/4 inches with a height of about 16 1/4. There is a drip tray to catch any excess water.

I went down and measured the best I could with the pump assembly underwater and a little hard to access. I would say you need a diameter of at least 12 inches to accommodate the side that has the float attached. That should allow it to freely move up and down.
