Depends on the RO units production rate... They vary up to and over 100 gallons per day (GPD). So for me, about an hour, for someone else, maybe a day

Yes, just find out what the rated output is and divide by 24. The common 75 gpd variety makes about 3 gallons per hour. Usually the output is somewhat lower than the rated amount and may be much lower in a home with low water pressure (below 40 psi).
