Why does my tank only last 12-14 day?

Your unit is faulty. Send it back. I find that only one in three of these things work out of the box

That sounds like a product defect. I've had three of these in the past ten years and they always have lasted 2.5 to 3 weeks per tank.

Are you getting blue rhino or equivalent? Don't buy the quick fill trade containers. Go to Ace Hardware or other retailers who fill your "YOUR" tank. The quick fill tanks are only 75% filled!

My tank does not last 21 days either. First, I would ask the manufacturer. I brought home a newly filled 20lb tank. The tare weight (empty) was 16.6 lbs. I brought out the 2 scales that I own (1 digital and 1 spring type) to see if the it weighed 36.6lbs. Both scales read less that 33 lbs. Of course, my scales are not calibrated so maybe that's the problem. I buy from a trustworthy supply store but I don't know to what extent the propane scale is calibrated or regulated to a standard. The other thing is the 'burn' rate may not be accurately controlled at the factory (call them) so that there may be a considerable variation from unit to unit. I'm still not getting the kill rate I had hoped for in my yard/woods. Yesterday I did an extra fogging using a Black Flag fogger just to work in there.

Mine takes FOREVER. I get about a gallon per day and have been using it regularly for a couple months now. I know something must be wrong, but I don't know what.

I bought 2 and one was partially filled and the other was not. It may be due to rules against shipping compressed gas, do not know. Partial tank lasted for quite a while.

Have you kept it in the refrigerator? Personally I think if you've had it that long I wouldn't trust it in my tank. It's inexpensive where as your tank inhabitants is not. Toss it and get a new bottle would be my advice

Our tanks all come purged. These are new tanks generally manufactured in the last several months so they should give you just about 12 years before they need re-certification.Thanks,

I've had it for only a month but it's a hard wintertime and air indoors is very dry and full tank is good for no more than 20 hours. I cleaned the filter after 3 weeks but I will do it every 2 to be safe with my hard water.

Hello Judi...not sure but I suspect there is a 10 year life span before it needs to be checked. My tank is on my boat which is in storage..unable to check at this time.

Depending on how high you turn the dial. Mine usually goes for 3 days or so on 1 tank.

Mine will do up to 9gal / day if it ran most of the time which it does not.

It is hard to say why it no longer lasts as long. I have not had that issue even with new filters. It could be something has gotten worse from your water source. Maybe your hot water heater is releasing debris. That is my best guess. Sorry I can't help further.

It last between 5 and 10 min. Tank is small. It is however handheld so can't expect a lot.

I have only used mine for about two hours total so far, for melting lead, and used less than a quater of a 20 pound tank according to my tank scale. So a full tank should last arround 8 hours.

I would say a month. We have it at a rental property and it is used almost daily and the tank lasted a month :)

Just to kinda help you out. I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I also have a fluval 406 canister filter. I use 2 350ml of purigen and it last for 6-7 months. It's not specific to gallons. It's based on how cloudy/discolored/dirty your tank is. 2 bags of 100ml would last me maybe 2 months.

I'm wondering if you are over feeding your fish? This tank is only big enough for 1 fish, preferably a beta. Make sure you rinse a new filter under water before installing, also, change the water 1 time a week. Use bottled spring water instead of tap. Then add a beta conditioner to the water. Only feed 7-10 pellets up to twice a day, Good luck!

If it's brand new, it may not be broken. You likely have too much water in the basin. Remove the tank, empty the basin, replace the tank, try again.

One small tank will last up to four hours if you have it on low. If you turn it full blast, it last 1.5 hours.
