dont understand the CFM ratings. it will fill a 2 gal tank in how many minutes
643253
I am not sure how long a 450c will take to fill a 2 gal tank to 150 PSI, but if you are looking for a 12volt compressor, then this one will do it faster than any others. I regularly use mine to fill a 20 gallon pressure tank to 80 PSI, and it only takes a few minutes to do so.

I have a 2 1/2 gal tank and prob takes around 5 minutes. I have never timed it though.

Take the cfm of the compressor at the pressure they give, at 100 psi they rate it at .94 cfm (cubic feet per minute) Take the container size of 2 gallons, convert to cubic feet ( 2 gal x .133 cu ft/gal = .266 cubic feet.)Now divide the cubic feet by cubic feet/per min and you have the time, roughly. ( .133/.266=.5 min or 30 seconds, theoretically) but, if you start with 0 psi the compressor pumps faster while the pressure is lower, so actual time should be less than 30 seconds for 2 gallons starting from zero. Hope this helps.

I have a 2 gal tank & it takes my viair compressor 4 minutes to fill up to 75psi

I replaced the air suspension pump in my 1976 GMC Motor home which has a two gallon tank. If I lock out the suspension draw, it will fill the tank from empty in less than five minutes. With the suspension locked in, it will fill the entire system in roughly 10 minutes. This is an extremely well made pump and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

Sorry no idea. We run off of a 500 gal. tank. Suggest you contactB & S directly- their engineering dept. will be able to answer.

Why would you want too?The filter at best will make 1 gallon of water in 14.4 minutes,that's when it's new.I've had mine for about 7 months, and the time too fill has increased by about 5 minutes per gallon .I use it just for my aquariums. but it still has under a 0.09 ppm,and I make 30 gallons a week.When it reads over 0.25 I'll buy a new one.My guess is that it will last about a year,that will be just under 1600 gallons of filtered water.one more thing this unit has a 2 too 1 ratio,for every 1 gallon of pure water you dump 2 gallons.There are better filters with a 1 too 1 ratio.Also with more gph if you are looking for one under the sink you will want a much faster and more gph no less then 250 gph.Good luck hope this helps.

I don't see why it would not work. The tank is only 2.6gal so keep that in mind. It delivers 3.8 cfm @ 40psi and 3.3 cfm @ 90psi. I have to believe your application fits somewhere in the middle of these.

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

John, no they ( in my experience, this is the third one that I have Got ) dont, I love this set up, just if you get one do not get the air pump one, very low gpm. Maybe 1 gallon per 1 to 2 hours.

Sorta, with a little extra capacity.Depending upon the station and temperature, I have filled from 1.2 to 1.5 into the tank based upon THEIR meter. 90% of the time the fill from empty is 1.3 gallons.

With 1 gal of treatment it usually runs out in 25-30 min. On high flow approx 15 mins. For extra info I will run clean water through a cycle to to make sure the unit will last longer and there are no future problems with the unit with corrosion or chemical buildup.

It wont do a darn thing if you don't buy the pump that runs it. The pump is kinda big, and kind of expensive, but its on the shelf at home depot. Once you have both parts, it'll run like a gem. Mine circulates 3000 gallons per hour and its a thousand gallon tank. Makes a whirlpool, sucks in all the algae, by day three the water is crystal clear.

I would estimate it pumps about 2 gallons per minute through. For what I use it for, that works fine. However, I'm using a much larger space.

It is better then what they suggest. I did an 8 1/2 x 40 ft motor home , two coats, and it used about 2 1/2 gallons. Hope this helps.

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

Your going to run thru 3 gals . of air in a hurry. Get a larger tank or take a lot of breaks

79 gallons max per hour, I use it in a 20 gallon long aquarium with about 8-10 gallons of water and it works great with my 1 adult painted turtle.

Alot... it took two days to fill it. I don't know exactly the gallons it holds. It should say on the description.

The info. says for home use only @5 gal per min. my pools run arount 15/20 gal per min. My opinon is no!!

I haven't used it in a while but I believe more then a gallon but less then two. The output is up to 1.8 in a 10 hour period. It's hard to remember. It didn't run as long as my other one did and it was about 2.5 gallon. It's made to be a room humidifier not a whole house like some are. It works well though.
