How many gallons of water is the filter good for?

The packaging for the filter claims that it is good for 100,000 gallons. I'm assuming they are expecting you to be filtering fairly clear water and cleaning the filter regularly. If I get 10% out of my filter I'll be happy.

The mini I think is for 100,000 gallons The regular I think is for 1,000,000 Don't quote me on either, it should tell you in the description

Do the math. Unless you live outdoors you will die before this filter needs to be replaced.

Filters around 1 million gallons, honest. It works though. tried it on the waters in Bangladesh and Maldives (filtered salt water) still works great. Don't squeeze the bag too hard, too fast. I'm finding they sprout leaks quicker with the force used...FYI

With proper maintenance they say 100,000 gallons . Even 10% of that makes it an awesome filter.

They claim 100,000 gallons. In terms of backpacking usage that's a lifetime.

I have never actually measured the content but I'd say it's about two gallons. The time it takes to filter the water will easily let you make 3 to 5 gallons per day. I bought 6 five gallon water bottles and filled them. I cycle through this oldest first and always have 30 gallons of good water plus whatever is in the filter.

I fill a 25oz water bottle twice if it's totally full, the top takes about 1 so you need 2 filters to do that.

The lifespan of the straw is likely to depend on how heavily polluted the water is that you are trying to filter. http://www.lapolicegear.com/ndur-survival-straw.html This website states that depending on source water quality, it's roughly 25 gallons.

It depends on the size of the filter. Moving water faster does not clean the water better. For advise 320-695-2899.

Berkey says that the filters are good for about 6000 gallons (3000 per filter). The travel Berkey is 1.5 gallons so if you fill it once a day, that should give you 4000 days, or 10.96 years! We (2 of us) run about 10 gallons a week through ours when we travel for 5 months a year...a pot of coffee every day, drinking water, and a 5 gallon jug for the dogs. I'm told that when the filters start to filter very slowly, that is your clue that they need to be replaced. We had used ours for two years and they were working just fine (until I broke a filter and had to replace them). Depending on your usage, you should get several years out of these filters. Just a side note...if you break one they don't sell singles...you have to buy them in packs of 2 so don't leave your Berkey on the counter in your motorhome while you are traveling down the highway at 65 miles per hour (stupid me!)

Officially, 40 gallons or every 2 months. However, I think you just need to be a bit creative when using it. First, you need to know the quality of your original water. If the original water is good, you may not need to change so fast. However, if the original water is bad, you may need to replace it faster. The filtered water do give better taste than the original water, so when you the taste of the filtered water turn bad, you may want to consider to change it even it has not reached the 40 gallons / 2 months mark.

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

It looks like my filter for a 12 by 24 pool. I don't remember how many gallons that pool holds.

Per ZeroWater's website: Though we are lab-certified for 22.5 gallons per filter under the strictest conditions, our customers with tap water near 200 TDS tell us that one filter will treat about 30 gallons of water before seeing a reading of 006 on their TDS meter. The lower the TDS, the longer the filters will last. You need to test your water to know for yourself.We are a household of 2 and our water tests at about 300 and we change the filter about every five weeks.

The capacity is going to depend on the quality of the water you are filtering. I used one cartridge to supply all drinking water for two people in South America, Burma, Nepal, Thailand and pacific islands since 1998. Total days used was around 180. Only got a new cartridge as travelling with small children now and the other was around 13 years old. Always filtered local tap or stream water and never got water related illness. 0.4 micron retention, 180 gallons in specs but I got over 280 gallons and still fine.

I have one in my five gallon opposite the filter I would use two in a 15 or 20 gallon.

I also have about less than 2 gallons and the filter works great, although it is a little noisy.

Why would you want too?The filter at best will make 1 gallon of water in 14.4 minutes,that's when it's new.I've had mine for about 7 months, and the time too fill has increased by about 5 minutes per gallon .I use it just for my aquariums. but it still has under a 0.09 ppm,and I make 30 gallons a week.When it reads over 0.25 I'll buy a new one.My guess is that it will last about a year,that will be just under 1600 gallons of filtered water.one more thing this unit has a 2 too 1 ratio,for every 1 gallon of pure water you dump 2 gallons.There are better filters with a 1 too 1 ratio.Also with more gph if you are looking for one under the sink you will want a much faster and more gph no less then 250 gph.Good luck hope this helps.

The Pearl water filter is good for one year and rated for 3200 gallons. The filter is certified for this life by the Water Quality Association (WQA) so this is not just a manufacturers statement, but a certified statement that has been tested in a lab. Thanks for asking!

Approx 4-5 gallons. My fountain has ran continuously for eight months. No problems. Keep water and filter clean.

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!
