Do I need to use the entire contents of the tank at once, or could I use half one day and the other half a few weeks later?

You can store a partially used tank a few weeks. Once a week spray out a little bit of foam to keeps lines clear. The chemicals mix in the tip. We provide a supply of tips.

I used half when I got it. A quarter of it like a week later and the last off out about two weeks after that. If you store it like the directions say it lasts a long time

No, you can interrupt spraying as long as you have extra tips and you don't wait longer than 30 days (I believe this is what instructions said). I did my spraying over a couple of days without any problems. If you stop spraying longer than 30 seconds, you will need to swap out the tip for a new one. Make sure that you keep extra tips close by and that you protect the extras, as they are easily broken. I love the results of this foam. It worked out better for me than the rooms I had professionally foamed. Oh, one more tip... make sure the temperature is within the ranges - somewhere above 60 degrees F, I think mfgr recommends.

I did spread the use of my canisters over a period of several days and that was no problem. You have to change the tip between uses, but they give you plenty with each pair of canisters. It seems as if the liquids do not activate until they mix at the tip. I did close the tanks at the valve between uses as an extra precaution.

Yes you can use at two different times. The instructions contain a procedure for short term storage.

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 used the whole bottle per the direction that say " for new tank set up use entire bottle." I was kind of surprised by this but my tank was perfect and it's 15 gallons.

No, you can use it all up, then refill it with a new stick of butter. Just change the water every two days.

You could for a few days but not for long periods of time, I just mixed half of it and stored the rest dry.

Use half save the rest in a reusable container and you should be good as long as the container is seal

You can but you would be filling it every 2 days.I hooked mine into my 500 gallon home tank.

You can fill the tank with any water or detergent/soap. You can use plain water if you want. One tank is the clean water/solution, the other sucks it all up, so you can use any temperature. This will not heat any water, just sprays what you put in.

We live in our trailer from the end of June until labor day, went thru 20# tank in about 3 weeks but that's for all our hot water needs. 2 showers a day and dishes and various other uses. Have now converted to 100# tank that services the rest of the trailer. and I used very little of that.

In my opinion it doesn't matter. Putting it in before, if you're at the gas station, might mix it better. It may be too concentrated IG you put it in before driving to the station. I just put it into a full tank.

It keeps the fizz a lot longer than if you didn't use it. If the can is half full, it will probably still have fizz after a couple of days. I doubt there would be any fizz left after 3 or 4 days.

yes, one bag is plenty for this unit. You have to screw the meter/top off the top of the tank; it just screws/twists off like any bolt or cap. Then take out the long tube from the tank. The old resin will be kind of mushy and slimy mixed with water. I just dumped it into plastic bag that I had cut some small holes in the bottom to let the water out and the old resin stayed in the bag. Then rinse out the tank till its clean. To put the new resin in, I used a large funnel. If you can have two people it is better; one to hold and shake the funnel and one to pour the resin in. It is kind of sticky, but pours well. If you don't have a funnel you can make one by rolling up some heavy paper. It is almost impossible to pour the new resin into the hole without a funnel. You need to make sure you get the tube back into the tank before pouring in the new resin and you should tape the top of the tube so you don't get any resin in it while pouring it in. Good luck!

as far as I know if it over 5 gallons you use all of it and you will have to take the tank off in order to do it properly because you have to rotate the tank to get the sealer everywhere, if you are unsure of the mixture contact the company there should be contact info on the side of the can.also if you have never done it before check youtube for videos on how to properly apply the sealer .

If the connection is the same as a 20lb tank, then yes. I would get a 20 (like the one in the picture) then you can have them both filled at the same time. I can run about 48 hours on high with a 20 lb tank.

Yes, you are supposed to dose the size of your tank before you start to refill no matter how much of a water change you are doing. For example, on my 55 gallon when I do a 30% weekly change I dose the whole tank (55 gallons.... actually I am paranoid so I double dose for 55 gallons with Prime) and then refill the tank with water. I saw some good advice about not restarting your pumps/filters until about 10 minutes after refilling, just to make sure the water is dechlorinated and that no chlorine hits your filters/beneficial bacteria material.

you should be fine with 6 to 8 hours. too much more than that and you start to get an algae problem.

Yes, it includes a about a tank-and-a-half of fluid. Used moderately, it will last about 8 hours, give or take.
