I have only used 5 gallon..I would assume you could use a 3 gallon as long as the three gallon is tall enough so the tube that draws the water up into the unit can fit..the tube is as long as the height of the 5 gallon bottle and not adjustable. .hope this helps

you can use any bottles with a standard opening. wide-mouthed bottles won't fit.

Yes, this bottle need to be used with the filters. There are round groves that the filters fit into. Hope this helps.

We use them in the 1 liter bottle. I agree that you may have too much pressure with the smaller bottles

I don't see why not but your bottle has to be small. It's not very big around.

I just use a 3 gallon water bottle like you can find on Amazon and a screw-on top like this one : Easy Load - Screw-On

I use separate container for storing - about 5Gal will do (I use Staniles Steal milk can :))

Yes, you can use any type of 3 gallon jug. I use a round 5 gallon jug, that's the biggest it will take. It has fit every jug I've come across, but I generally stick with Primo since there's no major difference in price.

Yes I bought the 3-pack of 8 oz bottles. The smaller 4 oz. wide neck size haven't leaked as much.

I have not done it, so I am not sure. If you have the proper hose and regulator it might be OK.I have been using the bottles on mine and they last quite long. It is a great unit.

I have always tried to go a little more then their recommendations. So in your case i would do 3oz per gallon to err on the side of more is better. I have been told that I overdo it some times, but hey it works and I havn't hurt anyone yet so...

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.

Yes, you can use any size bottle or canister of propane. It's about how long it will last for what you need it to do. Anyway the answer is yes. BIG BOB out!

Not sure about 3 gallons - I had it in 6 gallons of water and it was fine for my baby turtle.

2 liter bottles yes maybe 2 or 3. Gal jugs yes only 2 if you take the basket out. With basket in might hold 3 2 liter bottles.

YES! I have a 3 gallon bottle and I just checked. The valve tightens and does not need threads. It's great I am really glad I purchased it.
