What's the reservoir capacity? Time is a function of valve release, useless w/o ounces to fill line. thx!

I think it's about 12 ounces. I know that I can steam two 10x10 rooms on one full. In all honesty though, I got rid of this machine. It worked well for a few months, then took a turn and started falling apart. The reservoir is made of really thin plastic that cracks and leaks everywhere.

Did the research BEFORE purchasing this container. It shipped, was delivered and then I tested it. The container was partially filled for the test: I tipped it over on its side and let it stay there for a bit (15 minutes or so). NOTHING drained from it. Re-measured the 32 oz. We got the 32 oz back. Filled it to about 96 oz (3/4 gallon). Came back about 2 weeks later and got just under 96 oz back. Evaporation in the Sonoran desert of Arizona was the cause. It sits next to a generator we purchased. For me, it's an excellent product. Good luck with your decision.

Not sure about pressure or gallons/minute but compares favorably with the Shur Flow pump I replaced. Maybe a bit more pressure. It provides adequate pressure for shower and other uses.

I have never calculated the time frame....but I feel comfortably saying at least 8 hours. When you fill the water up completely....The diffuser will turn off automatocally when it's empty.

The people who make these valves are very nice and helpful.... check their web site for your answer... if its not on their web site drop them an email and they'll get back to you.... I have at least 10 vehicles on this product and love them... I sorry I can't give a more specific answer...

I timed a 1 qt bottle with my stop watch and it took 34 seconds to fill. Frankly I don't mind the slow flow since I am drinking a much better tasting water then I was use to. I think it may be your pressure in the water line that could be the culprit. I'd like to add that I connected with a T two refrigerators, both dispense water and make ice.

It does not have output levels on it. I believe 3 hours is when it's full of water. The well is pretty small.

Here's one that should work from - where other than Amazon! Sunlite Standard Schrader Valve Tubes, 26 x 4.0" / 32mm Valve, BlackI've not tried it myself, but others report it works. You could also go for a smaller diameter tube (i.e. 26x2.7") which would balloon out to fill the volume, but in my opinion you would lose a little durability/longevity doing that since the rubber would always be under a fair amount of stress. Good luck!!!

why not , as per the other coments used this product/ounces as described in label . will improve valvetrain/life for engine

Long time so far. I am sure it depends on how often you open and close the valve. Standby mine have lasted 6 mo. so far.

need to define "very low output water flow". I fill a 5 gal container in about 1.5 hours. with 45 psi from the spigot

Pretty quick... under 5 min but probably quicker than that... If I remember right it holds residual water so it's probably under a minute... a bunch of drunks use it so it couldn't take all that long ;=)

Well your timing is great! It can pump from the bottom of a sump pump crock into a 5 gallon plastic bucket. 'Tis a slight bit slow, but not to worry, it works great! Have an extra set of batteries handy, we were without power for 21 hours. Just a miracle that we had it in our garage. Jjim

I haven't noticed a cycle time really. We have a crawl space opening up to a "basement" with poured walls and floor. We get a LOT of water down there! 18" should be enough space for this unit. Mine might be a bit smaller even. That made it hard with a bobbing float, as it would get stuck often. This is why we chose the vertical float. Probably not much help for you. In my opinion, this is one of the better pumps that we've had over the years

I concur with most of the others here regarding the time. It takes mine almost exactly 5 minutes to fill the tank from empty to 180psi (I never go the full 200).

I am not a fan of the mess of midstream so I always used a plastic cup. But I believe it's 3 seconds (enough to saturate it). Probably more accurate if you cup test.

It seems to siphon @ a little over a gallon per minute, so 3-4 minutes. Best guess.
