How many watts does this unit use to make a gallon of water?
1576253
The Waterwise 4000 takes about 3200 watts of power to make a gallon of water. (800 watt unit @ 4 hours to produce a gallon of water)

Heater = 800 Watts. Approximately four hours required to distill one gallon of water. Watts times hour(s) = total Watts consumed to complete distillation is 800 times four hours is 3,200 Watts.

Don't know wattage but it uses regular household current and takes about 3-4 hours to fill the container that comes with it. I usually make 3-4 gallons in a day about twice a month. I don't notice any major use of electricity in my bill.

The unit is rated at 580 watts, it takes 5 hours for 1 gallon, so that will be 2900 watts per 1 gallon. Went to this site to calculate consumption, assuming your electricity is the average 12 cent per kilowatt. http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/electricity-calculator.htm Power consumption: 580 watts Hours of use per day: 5 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) cost: 12 cents Electricity cost per day: $0.348 Electricity cost per month: $10.44 Electricity cost per year: $127.02

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

I'm not sure, I have a 250 watt for 90 gallons which I am using in an outside pond - totally under water. And it's doing great. You really need to call a pet shop for the answer - sorry. Even if the wattage is overkill, it's oK ; it will not come on pass the setting you set. So if you set it on 76 degrees and the water in your tank is 78 degrees it just won't come on.

Not too sure about the wattage, may want to Google it. Buuuut, my gravies boil (not a rapid boil), so I'm sure water would. I wish I could be more helpful, but I don't use it often.

Maximum wattage with 110v is 1800. My 3000W will literally heat water at least 3 times faster than a 1500W microwave. Most of the time I never use more than 1200W and when I do not even to 1800W. I am absolutely delighted with the unit that I have, although not perfect, the shortcomings are quite minor.

The heater unit itself uses 2 D batteries. The power requirements of the pumps vary per pump. You just have to search for the specs of the pump you want to use. For example I googled one pump, the "Eccotemp 03526-14A Flojet 2.9 GPM 50 PSI Water Pump" and got "2.9 GPM(Gallons per minute), 50 PSI, 12 Volt, 10 Amp" . Since Watts=Amps x Volts, that would be 120 watts.

Yes,this unit produces 7.5 gals of hot water per minute. The size of your house makes no difference. It's the number of people and the amount of hot water you will need at any one time.

The bottom of the unit shows: 120V~ 60Hz 1500W. Boils a liter of water in 2.5 minutes.

When you pour cold water into the top, the tank heater draws 800 watts until the water is heated; after the water reaches its storage temperature, the"keep warm" heater draws only 44 watts. The plate on which the carafe sits is not heated in this thermal carafe model. These figures are from the manual for an earlier, non-thermal pot model, which also has a heated plate under the glass pot that draws another 46 watts. In terms of current, this unit draws a maximum of 7.01 amps on a 120 volt circuit.

I live in southern cali, and for the first few days it made about a gallon or so of water. I used the included hose to drain into a 2 gallon bucket. But after having it on for a few days the amount of water it generated was very minimal and it had simply evaporated before i even got a chance to dump the water. Im very happy with the unit.

Not this unit. It is only 2.5 gallons. Great for under the bathroom sink for washing hands but not enough hot water for a shower.

The wattage depends on the size of the pond. Both K & H (khmfg.com) and Farm Innovators (farminnovators.com) have a zone charts for their pond de-ricers. Both have contact information so you could always email them your pond specifics for help, as I have yet to find anyone who list information for ponds larger than 1200 gals.

Less than 500 watts - the next larger unit which has a 4oz kettle uses 530 watts.

Hi,I just bought two of these and they work really great. Have installed them in my well house.Don't have any idea on how many watts they draw, but it can't be very high as the heat is not very high. My guess would be approx. 40-50 W.Hope this helps.George
