We have 3 people and very hard water, 50 grains. Will this be enough to handle that?

I have very hard water over 400ppm two people in household, 3,000 sq ft three store home. Unit sufficient for our needs. When purchase from Amazon, the unit was disassemble, need professional to assemble and install unit.

I have the Fleck 5600SXT 48K grain unit and could not be happier. The unit is adjustable so it is not a one size fits all solution. Check with your water supplier for the hardness rating of your water and set the unit. It will do the rest. It accounts for hardness and measures your usage to determine recycle times and frequency. You set it and it does the rest.

This unit is not very tough... seems as though in rough water the base would probably break... Get one with a metal base, might stand up to the rough water....

I live in San Fernando Valley and have hard water so every 3 months for 2 people. When water pressure gets low its time to change

No, I wouldn't go without sand/water because it's top heavy. We put 350 lbs of sand in ours and one night with heavy winds, it still toppled over (40miles winds). Then we added 50 more lbs, and it hasn't toppled over yet.

yes the container even with two bins is large enough to handle that plus much more. Check the height and width along with depth and you will have the answer and then some.

I think it will be hard to clean, like most coffemakers. I guess the filter that it has might help with hard water.

The two gallon is huge. How many guest will there be? If you can plan on refilling them I think that would be better. You'd be up to your elbow to get the last third.

You use twice the amount of liquid (water) as pearls. As to how many to make for 5 people, it depends on how big of an eater they are. 5 cups of water and 2 1/2 cups of pears probablly will be too much for 5 people. I would maybe try 4 cups of water and 2 cups of pearls.

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

That depends on how many persons and how frequent it use. for my guess, if only for one person, yes, a little too large, 3 liters should be enough.

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

Yes. Cook with a little more water than it calls for and it will be very mashable.

It can do 2.5-3.0 gallons per minute and add 60F to the temperature of the water. 70F source water becomes a 130F hot water (2.5-3 gallons/minute). If you run the water at higher flow rates you get lower temperature output.Back to the question above regarding a 3700 sq ft home. If you have 1 person living there it probably will work fine. if you have a family of 5 or 6 all getting up around the same time taking 3 showers and using hot water for the sinks it will likely fail miserably. You are completely out of luck if you arre trying to do a bath, or running laundry or dishes at a busy "shower" time.

I do not believe it will handle hard water spots. Once you get the hard water damage taken care of, this product will help prevent the problem from coming back. I just love it!!

The answer is based upon how much ardness your water has. 1st find out how hard your water is. That will dictate which model to buy as to capacity to soften the water. I believe he 220 is designed to handle up to 70 grains of hardness. After that you must go on up in the capacity. I have 12-grain water and set it for 15 grains; it will automatically regenerate at 400 hundred gallons and this will be about every 96 hours. It uses about 18 gallons of water each time it regenerates and that is an unusually small amount. This is my 2nd Waterboss unit. The bed became exhausted after 10 years. These are a great buy and the tech support is rapid and very helpful.

We're on well water, too, with a heavy iron load and lots of minerals. Just run a full pot of water with a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar through it once a month or so and it'll be fine. The coffee maker is fine except that it doesn't keep coffee hot for very long.

You should have 50 refillable 12oz bottles, a five gal fermenter,an airlock etc.
