Hydropanel® Kit

We recommend selecting your Hydropanel Kit size based on the number of people in your household .

For households of 1-2 people: 1 Hydropanel Kit

For households of 3-4 people: 2 Hydropanel Kit

If you're interested in a Kit bigger than 2 Hydropanel units, you can contact us directly or speak with your SOURCE representative during the Virtual Site Survey.

The size you choose for your pressurized storage tank will depend on how much water your household drinks and your local climate. Your SOURCE Hydropanel will produce water and feed the tank until the tank is full so that on days without sun, for example, there is still available water in the tank for dispensing. 

The 4.8-gal tank is 2.8-gal usable and fits underneath a sink. This size is ideal for 1 Hydropanel installation or homes that consume a lot of water regularly.

The 20-gal tank is 11-gal usable and fits in a utility closet or pantry. This size is ideal for 2 or more Hydropanel installation or users that travel overnight often on long weekends.

The 40-gal tank is 22-gal usable and fits in a utility closet. This size is ideal for 2 or more Hydropanel installation or users that travel often for weeks at a time, or those in cold climates that will need more storage over the winter.

It is recommended that the pressurized storage tanks are installed indoors in a temperature-controlled environment. The tanks meet NSF 58 testing standards and are built with FDA approved materials. The carbon block and mineral cartridge kits are included in the pressurized storage tank kit.

We're proud to offer many configurations for Hydropanel mounting including:

• Flat Foam Roof
• Pitched Tile Roof
• Asphalt Roof (shingle or rolled)
• Ground Mount (complete with ballast, round driven piles, or screw driven piles)
  

If you aren't sure what mountain option is right for you, our team is here to guide you through the process. Simply choose your preference between ground or roof when you place your order, and we’ll discuss the rest during the Virtual Site Survey. During the VSS, if we determine that your home is not a good fit, we will fully refund the purchase.

This will be Step Two in your journey to perfect drinking water. Over a phone call with your SOURCE representative, we'll discuss the details of mounting your Hydropanel Kit on your roof or ground and routing your Hydropanel to a dispenser in your kitchen (or another place on your property). We’ll also schedule the installation.

The two air filters per Hydropanel unit, mineralization cartridge, and polishing cartridge will need to be replaced once a year. Standard maintenance costs for these replacements is $150 / year (per Hydropanel), which includes parts and labor.
