Is there a reservoir inside of a gallon, or so. I'd like to slide the unit under a cabinet, but there will not be enough space allow for 3 gal. Bot.

It does fill with water but is bad to run it while dry. You wont be able to tell how much is in it. I definitely would not use it without a jug on.

Good morning: The water capacity is 1 GL for the cold water tank and 0.5 GL for the hot water tank. However we do not recommend to have your unit without the water bottle since the water flow can be compromise.

You will need to have a bottle attached to the unit to allow the water flow out through the faucets. There is a holding tank of 1 gallon for the cold side and 0.5 gallons for the hot side.

It would not be a good idea. The pump is not designed to move that much liquid. The pump would wear its self out because it is designed to move small amounts of liquid from 1 gallon to 20 gals. It sems to me that it is designed to pump small amounts of liquid at a time.

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?

If you have a larger unit, such as the CoolMist HTM-6009 then it should go in the BASE (referred to as the reservoir on the packaging), not the tank. There is even a little hole for it between the two sides.

You may gogle under cabinet water heaters. They all start to leak sometime. Our Franke lasted about 8 years and then leaked. Unfortunately our space was very limited, and the new Franke is slightly larger and would not fit. We have been unable to find anything that will fit. From my experience adequate size under the cabinet is essential. Whatever you get check the guarantee and make sure you have plenty of room.

I haven't set this one up yet but I use suction vacuums for my other three (normal) tanks (20, 30, & 55 galln) and they are also not near a sink. I suction bottom waste (along with a water change amount of water) into a bucket - transport and refill. Looking forward to setting up the hydroponics tank.

How about inserting a container of some sort inside the dumpster? We grind a lot of rice so we have not needed to consider an alternate reservoir.

Fits under the cabinet on the counter, but you have to pull unit out from under to remove the top to fill with water.

I use 5 gallon and 3 gallon..........both are fine. I happen to like the 3 gallon better, because it's easier for me to handle. You'll like it!!!

I didn't try on 3 gallons bcoz I have 5 gallons reuseable plastic bottles.They r not suitable for them.

I did not know this till now. Anyway, my tank is 10 gals too. The heater is totally inside the tank but it's not always fully submersed, it's about 1" away from the water most of the time but so far, it works great.

I just put my pump in a 5 gallon bucket. I tried to screw it on to one of the collapsible clear plastic 5+ gallon water containers but the opening was too small for the pump. I have had no issues just setting it in the bucket.

The top just sits right on the lower unit. You probably overfilled the unit and it leaked out. You can only put in the top what will fit in the bottom.

I doubt it holds 1 gallon. As a single person, it takes a while to fill it up.

My nearly decade old unit came only with a container slightly smaller than a gallon. The rest of the gallon of water could be poured into the unit to chill. I do not know about this newer unit.

there is no reservoir, that's the beauty of this kind of humidifier. no stagnant water sitting in a tray. the water enters from the top, cascades through the filter and discharges via a flexible plastic hose at the bottom. you need to have a floor in reasonable proximity to the unit. at least in the same room.
