why is it taking so long to fill?

Its true. In the first two or three weeks, it might take long time to fill. After that also, it is not like other filters where one can pour on the top and use at the bottom. It takes time to filter through two filters it has. If you have party at home, plan ahead and store water in other containers. :-)

I see that mine also takes a while to drain into the bottom tank. It did say it will go faster as it gets older and I suppose because of all the levels it has to filter through is why it is slow. I have noticed it takes over night to drain well. I try to add at night before bed and in the morning when ill be at work.

I have a three seater. It takes 3 to 5 mins to fill.It will do it but maybe 8 to 10 min

We just finished filling it. It took two days. I don't have a new water bill yet so I don't know how many gallons.

You would want to get a larger tank and even then, it will take time to refill. It can take a while for a completely emptied tank to refill.

It is my understanding that it takes a week or so to really get working. But it is also my experience that it is better on the leaking issue than it is on the quantity issue. Hope it all works out!

It takes 10 to 12 tabs to fill it. The flow is adjustable, and depending upon you pools chlorine needs you should be able to get as much as three weeks out of it loaded. I can't imagine getting more than that. We don't run our pool in the winter so this is only for summer months.

I timed it today and it was a little over 6 hours. It could have something to do with humidity or maybe someone else put in a little more water? I don't know. I had never timed it before but I know from the beginning it was more than 4 hours.

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.

It is not very easy to fill, I used a funnel and that helped. I also worried it was not quite heavy enough so i bought a small sand bag and just set it on top of the base and that makes it very stable.

I've never experienced this problem with mine. I just make sure I don't exceed the "MAX FILL" line.

yes. quicker than you'd think. sometimes so quick you underestimate and overfill your bottle. It takes only a few pumps to fill a large water bottle.

If I recall correctly, using a hose from the bathroom sink faucet, it took about a half an hour to fill the pool. I wasn't the one with control of the water, though, so I can't say for certain how hard the flow was or if it was on all the way. (I was in the pool about to have a baby, so this is going by number of contractions and a guesstimate based on that.)

Yes it does don't remember specifically how long it took to fill but it didn't seem to take a crazy amount of time.

It doesn't take much air to fill this thing. One and a half pumps from my manual full-size pump will do it.

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.
