If all outlets are controlled by an on/off switch, does that mean they are all operational as long as I leave it on all the time?

the off/on switch provides protection only to the outlet itself, if there are other outlets on the the same switch will not be protected.

There are 3 different on/off switches that each control 3 ports. This way you can leave plugs and/or devices plugged in and not keep yanking cords out over and over and use the power buttons to cut power when not using

The item plugged into the Master outlet must be manually turned off or on. Approx 90 seconds later the controlled items should turn off. It should be obvious whether the controlled appliances are on or off.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

Yes. It turns whatever is plugged into outlet off similar to unplugging it.

That all depends on where you hook up your power supply. the unit will stay on as long as you have the switch turned on.

Outlet is always on. Switch and plug work independently. Worked out very well for what we needed.

This is exactly what it does. 4 outlets switch on or off together with the remote, while 2 additional outlets stay in the on position.

I have one of these and the outlet and switch are seperate. The outlet is always live (assuming it is wired correctly).

Depends on what you mean by this. If the charger is supposed to be the controlling device, it will probably not draw enough current even in charging mode to switch off the controlled outlets of the strip. If you mean that a charger is one of the controlled loads, then it will be turned off whenever the controlling device turns off. For example, my controlling device is a computer. When I put that computer into sleep mode, all subsidiary loads including my monitor and a USB hub power puck also go off.

No, it is either on and pumping or off when power is disconnected. Unless you have a way to turn the power on and off from water level then it is on all the time.

You just screw them in the outlets. Problem is, if you don't have a switch to turn it off, it will be on 24/7

The controlled outlets work off one device, which is plugged into the "master" outlet. I have my CPU plugged into that one, since I don't use the peripherals when the computer is off. Theoretically, you could plug anything into it, even a lamp, and when you turned it off all of the controlled outlets would go off as well. The outlets do stay on for 90 seconds after the "master" is turned off. Perhaps that is what is confusing you. Hope this helps.

My outlet stays on when my vehicle is turned off. Most outlets are not powered when ignition is off in which case the lights would not work.

If you need it to be on all the time, then do it, but it's best if you don't use it, turn it off and you may save some power... this just personal opinion. I always turned my off and if I need it, I'll turn it on.

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.
