How many gallons of waste water is there for every gallon of drinking water?

I cant give an accurate answer I can only tell you what I observe after I installed mine. After dispensing a gallon of water ,the 1/4" drain line going into the sink drain would run at a very low pressure for more than 5 minutes. The neighborhood I line in has some of the highest water rates in the State of Florida. I did not notice any change in my average bill. Hope this helps. Bill

Here's a link to the website with all the details you need. www.ispringwatersystems.com/ý I agree with a previous response - the water tastes great.

Its hard to say everything gets drained. How much waste water depends in hardness of the city's water in youre area and also if you have a whole home filter system installed in youre home.

I fill a 50 gallon tank which takes around 4 hours at a continuous flow. You get about 1 gallon of filtered water for every 3 to 4 gallons of regular water.

Dear Kimberly, I am not the manufacturer, only a very happy consumer. I have no idea... I actually had no idea ANY reverse osmosis system could represent many gallons of waste water, if this is what you are implying. Should that be the case, then I would immediately revert to drinking mineral water out of those wonderful plastic bottles sold by Dasani, etc...

The tank holds 2.5 gallons but there is an option to get a 3 gallon tank. I believe that it takes a couple of hours to refill when empty. I think the Perfect Water people say that in one day's time, the unit can output 50 gallons.

Since it calls for 4 tablespoons per cup of water, I believe that would come to 4 cups of mix to one gallon water. That's figuring, with 16 cups water to one gallon, that it would be 16 times the 4 tablespoons mix. Hope that's right.

I think the guy in Los Vegas is full of it. If not they waste a lot of water that California would pay dearly for. Ours (mid Kansas) is 1.91 per 1000 gallons. That is 16 time more expensive than he is stating and that equates to 3600 gallons of wasted water per month unless it actually does shut off the flow when the tank is full. I see no mechanism that would do that unless there is a high pressure shutoff somewhere.

A gallon sounds like too much but everyone is different . As long as your urine is clear and not a dark yellow you know you are drinking enough water .

In reality, about 40 - 42 once you get a 1 inch substrate in the bottom for plants. 46 if filled to the brim and no substrate. The 50 gallon claim is a lie. If you calculate the density of water you can see it would need to be about an inch taller, wider and longer to have an internal capacity of 50 gallons since the acrylic is 1/4" thick the internal dimension are 1/2 inch smaller then the outer ones. WE call it our 50 gallon tank but I do all my treatments and water change assume 40 - 42 gallons so 8-10 gallons per water change depending on the Nitrate level. It over half a year in use so Ammonia and Nitrites are always near zero.

Yes, at least 2 gallons. It is alright to purchase another gallon as this product will last in storage without degradation.

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.

I'm not sure about the number of gallons of water. However, I recommend checking out the Alkazone website for more info. I like to drink 4-5 16.5 oz bottles of water daily, and a 1.2 oz bottle of Alkazone lasts me approximately 1.5 weeks plus. I hope this helps.

I do not know how much it holds but would guess 2 gallons, maybe 2.5. But the key is to develop the habit among all users to replace in the top the approximate amount removed. We keep a pitcher convenient to do this. It only takes about 90 minutes for a gallon to percolate thru the filters, so you will never run out IF everyone replaces what they withdraw. (we have 2 filter unit) The filtering rate will slowly go down over time and they must be cleaned (easy to do.) I think you will enjoy the unit.

Hi. I just measured my recently purchased OXO Good Grips Compost Bin and measured how many cups of water it holds. Its volume capacity is 12 cups of water - or 3/4 of a gallon. I've had it now for about 2 months and love it.

It holds exactly one gallon of water. One gallon will last between 2 and 5 depending on how much mist you use. To relieve the heat of a hot day, expect 2 hours before a refill.

Directions say to use 1oz per gallon so my third grade math says for 4oz use 4 gallons of water.

Approximately 450 drops are in every bottle. The bottle states that 6-8 drops are required to treat every 8 oz of water. That equates to 96 drops needed to treat every one gallon of water.
