What is the water consumption for this kit? 1.6GPF?

This does not change the water consumption of the toilet. I believe the older toilets were 3 GPF.

It is not the kit that determines the gallons per flush, it is the toilet model and tank size.

I believe this one is 1500 - a slow boiler. :-) Everything under 1kW would be rather slow to bring water to boil.

I measured .75gpm on the lowest flow that activates the unit. Ours is on the highest setting.

I do not have a precise measurement of GPM. I took a gallon jug and timed how long it took to fill it. It was filled in about 12 seconds. That computes to 5 gallons per minute, or 300 gallons per hour. That is the best I can give you.Jeff Kraft

Yes, we've been using it for our drinking water for over a year with excellent results. We went from about 250-300 ppm to 3-4 ppm!! (Store bought water tested about 150-200). Highly recommend!!!

I also contacted ECO Smart and if you change all your water outlets to 1.5GPM, most are 2.5GPM it helps the unit and you save water on your bill. I install the same unit in my parents home with 1.5GPM water reducers on all faucets and showers, "No one noticed a difference in water pressure". You can get a 6 pack of water savers a Lowes for $30.

There is markedly less water. 0.5 gpm from Moen for Green Effect. Need to find part to put it back to 2.2 gpm.

Just buy a 1 gallon bottle of distilled water. Use whatever is left for refilling or when you clean the system completely.

Well not sure exactly because we have a family of 2 and we have used about 13 gallons in lil over a month 。。。we use it for drinkin and cooking also so maybe times that by 2 should get you a pretty close estimate

I'm not sure, as I never let it just go and go. I checked it frequently (maybe once every 2-4 days) and it was in the 280 gal. I use it on a drip system, so usage is small. I returned the unit shortly after purchase as it allowed water into its display and electronics area, fogged up, shorted out, then died. Not a robust design.

That will depend on your water pressure, temperature, and contaminant load. At 77 psi, 70F and 250 ppm it will waste about 4 gallons per gallon purified. We offer though our company website a permeate pump upgrade kit that will reduce the actual water waste by up to 80% depending on your conditions. Please be sure to use our kit as it contains everything you will need to make the pump work correctly with the system. It includes the pump, mounting clip, pre-cut tubing, a replacement flow restrictor, and instructions with a schematic. If you do not use our kit you will void your 5 year warranty.

Not recommended. The unit works on a specific amount of water, if it needs 6 or 8oz of water thats what it uses.. Adding water to the tank will not gain anything.

I would suggest a little bigger compressor. 3gal will function but it may run more than you would like

I can tell you it is double the 2.5 GPM of US limits. I timed it with a bucket. It is great!

Hello Saint23The tank holds 6.6 oz of water. Which mine came with a measuring cup.Good Luck!

I haven't exactly measured but I would say about 1-2 gallons of water (somewhere in between)

Go to Steinbeckeltron.com and then select the unit you desire. There will be all the info you need. Normal heating would include standard water flow from well pump or water service from town/ city. About 2 _ 4 gpm
