What is the ideal level to place the flojet? Above or below the 5 gallon bottle?

if you were planning on using this to supply water to your fridge id suggest another brand. Mine lasted only 3 months. Poor quality product

I have mine setting on the same surface with the bottle. Works just fine. Should not be a problem above, on same shelf or below, it has a self-priming positive displacement pump.

My electrician installed mine in level with the top of the bottle. But being that it is a pump I m not too sure it really matters.

I have used mine for 6 months. I don't believe it matters at all where you place the pump. I used to keep it on a shelf about 8 inches off the floor (above the base of the water jug), but I found it a little too noisy, so I put it down on the floor behind everything and it's much quieter and works just fine.

The height of the crock is 10.5 inches. The overall height of the crock with the 5 gallon bottle is 25.5 inches.Mine sits atop a 34 inch high purpose made floor stand. That makes the total height of 59 inches.Anything much lower than a counter-top height would require a person to bend over to a uncomfortable position to fill a decanter.I would recommend a floor stand similar to the one I purchased, or place it on a counter top or mobile kitchen island.

If your are pressure canning, I would leave the water level the same. Just make sure no water is above the lids on the first level. Good luck !!!

The method we use at my daycare is to have a crockpot half full of water set on low or warm temp. you can leave it on all day and set bottles in it that need to be warmed up. it is safe to place the glass bottles directly on the bottom since it is not direct heat and we have never had a problem with shattering bottles or being too hot. leave bottle in for five-ten minutes and then shake gently to distribute heat evenly.

I use a regular "Culligan" jug. I think it's a 5 gallon. I love my machine.

Being below would make the siphon not work too well when you're setting it up, but it won't affect the pump.

Too much? Lol this is perfect for a ten gallon. And you have a 55 which makes me think it's not enough. That's me responding at a 2. Don't make me turn it up to a ten. In all seriousness there is not anything you can do. However, I am still honestly surprised it's too much. May I ask how?

5 gallon plastic jug works fine. I would keep it on the counter and throw the stand away if I had young children

That depends on the height of your jug. There is about an inch of space below our pump in our 5-gallon jug.

from where the unit sits in it's proper position...it is approximately 8" above the bottle. overall height of the unit and bottle is 25.5" tall. hope that helps...

I use it for 5 gallon...it's strong! The plastic dispensor is ok and does take a few ttys to get it seated right so it doesn't drip.

a little over 5 will be enough. The level shold always be checked with the ram of the cylynder retracted fully and the pump not running. the tank willhold much more but the site window will show full and the machine will operate properly with between 6 and 7 gal. of hydrolic fluid.

I'm not able to physically see it at the moment but it stands about 18" off the floor and it takes up floor space about that same amount (diameter-wise). When you place a 5 gal. bottle of water on the top shelf, the top of the water bottle is about 4' off the floor. The top shelf accepts both rectangular and round bottles very well. Hope that helps.

The numbers indicate the temp of the heating unit,,,the higher number (3) heats the fastest and the lower numbers in a more leisurely time.Suggest you use the lower, as you may have to cool it down more often at '3', not something to do if you are breast feeding/pumping and having to open another container, waste some of the over-heated milk to make room for the cooler milk. Or you could run the bottle under cold water for a period of time...so it is all about time...spend it now or spend it later.

Keep it @ 2/3, I find it keep it on the low side with the water at a good level. Change the heat setting according to the fabric after you feel you may need more ..,I suggest using it with a power strip to control the surging.

the lowest setting is fine for my 15 gallon tall. I have 5 galaxy barbs, two albino cories cats, two amino shrimps, an otto catfish and a shit load of snails(Note: a bunch of moss cover my intake tube from time to time). But it depends on the fish you plan to get too. do your fish come from a place with fast moving water or slow? Since you already have a spare C4 and a tank just try it out. worse case you return the fish back.

If you are just boiling 5 gallons of water to get to temp for strike water or mash water then the thermometer is at the top or slightly below the water line. If you are making a 5 gallon batch then the thermometer is perfect. I use the thermometer but also use a floating thermometer to double check. Love the pot for my 5 gallon batches.
