I have turned it on and hear the ionizer. I haven't heard it run since. Does it turn off and on or is it supposed to run continuously?

It turns on for about 15 seconds every hour. Push SF to reionize after you leave the door open too long or after you load up more produce.

Yes, you can turn the ionizer off if you choose. I use the ionizer so don't know how it works without it.

Yea when you turn off the ignition it turns off. I think the 19,000 hours is the life of the ionizer which is different from the filter that you have to clean every week. Its in the manual where you purchase the ionizer but it cost 40 dollars before shipping or tax

I've never run mine continuously more than a few minutes at a time and then I give it a rest of a few minutes in between runs. You probably should contact the manufacturer .

I am.not sure of the exact info, but we set it to 68 and let it run, we hardly notice an increase in the electric bill, during the warmest months an increase of about $10 is avg. I dont not think it has an air ionizer. Hope this helps

Don't know anything about the effects of the ionizer feature. Sorry! Using the ionizer feature is optional, though. You can choose to have it on or off.

The fan runs continuously unless the tank is full which shuts the machine down. It's the nature of the beast. It does run quietly. I have been happy with mine so far.

Yes. Just press & hold the ionizer button for a few seconds and it will shut off. We leave the ionizer off all the time.

The condenser turns off when the desired level is reached, but not the fan - it runs continuously. Can't say what happens after a power outage - haven't experienced one yet.

No. I have never noticed that and I run it continuously. I actually have two of them that are always on and I have never noticed that in either one.

Mine did the same thing the first time or two that I used it. I simply turned it off and restarted it each time. It's working great now though and cleaning the pool nicely.

Clean it out completely and check cords. Also make sure there is water in it, If not it may slow down or stop without it. Mine did that, but after I cleaned it and filled it back up, it was up and running. I think it's because the water was too low. That makes sense to me.

The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective. You should be able to put your ear up to the ionizer hole on the bottom front and here a sizzling/whooshing sound.The qtip method will basically accomplish this, although it won't touch most of the metal; you have to take it apart, which is easy if you have a thin shaft philips screw driver. You'll see the metal around the whole and the bar on the backside, just clean it with the qtip method. Don't touch any of the other circuitry or the board. You can also clean the fan but be gentle - it's cheap and pushing on the blades might cause it to get noisy. The metal bar of the ionizer can get gunk on it causing it to be less effective.

From what I researched, it only generates ozone through the ionizer feature. I don't turn that part on.

As far as I'm aware, it is impossible to turn off the ionizer. After the first couple of days, I didn't notice any kind of smell, though.

I also have no idea how the ionizer works. I remember having read somewhere in another context that negative ions improve air quality, but i can't even be real specific about that. I do recall that the air felt pretty fresh during the six weeks before the thing quit on me. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I run mine on low 24/7. If the air needs super-cleaning (because of viruses, mold, etc.) I put them on high and close the door(s). Then run them for about an hour. I've heard that people and pets shouldn't be in a closed room with the air cleaner on anything higher than the low setting, but am not sure if it's harmful. You can turn the ionizer off. Been using this model for around 5 years with no problems...
