Okay, when the water drops below the sensor, it stops working. If I want to change oils, do I have to waste that water?

I usually add on top of that, because by the time it gets that low, I feel like most of the oil has evaporated, but I enjoy mixing the oils any how. If you don't wish to mix the oils, than you do have to waste the water! Also, I don't always have water left in the chamber, and I'm not sure why and when that happens! I love my doTERRA diffuser!

The oil is added to the water and it somewhat combines with the water which is warmed and diffused into the air. There is still residual oil left in the unit which should be cleaned out periodically.

I have the sensor wire wrapped around my hot water heater. My daughter dropped juice on the floor and the sensor wire. The alarm sounded and the only way to stop it was to disconnect the modular plug at the unit. After I dried everything, then reconnected the wire and everything was good to go.

I've only used the pump once so far and it seemed fine pumping plain water. I don't know how exactly it works but I know the instructions say don't run it dry. Real heavy oil might just cause it to work too hard, overheat and burn out. It should work fine with thin oil.

Just add the oil in the water first, don't bother with the slit. It works fine that way.

I read not to use distilled water. The minerals in your tap water help the "water low" sensor realize when to turn off the unit...

We had ours for six months then it started going off on its own until it spilled all over the place. We tried replacing batteries and making sure nothing was on the sensor to no avail it still kept leaking all over the place. We threw it in the trash because of mess and frustration. Sorry I was no help to you!

I did a little test to find the low spot that water will flow to around my washing machine and hot water heater by pouring a little water in the area where they are located. The water will pool in that low spot and that is where I placed the sensor. I just have it sitting on the floor in these low spots. I know it works because my wife was doing some hand wash in the sink which is right next to the washer and some water spilled on the floor. She was on the phone to me asking "how do I shut this thing off???". They work. Hope this help.

That's what I do. I only clean and change the water in the reservoir. I only check the water in the sensor when the plants don't seem to be getting enough water-the sensor has to be completely full for the plant sitter to work properly.

I don't believe that you can. The water reservoir is below the filter, so there really is no where to put the oils so that they will be dispersed with the water.

My oiler worked perfectly out of the box, but last time I used it, I don't think the oiler was working well. I didn't have much to saw and made a note to try to clean out the holes, etc for the oiler when I had time. I figured it was just clogged...

Try playing with the choke or disconnect the low oil sensor wire (female male plug). They say that metal particles in the oil affects the sensor. After the first 5 hours of run time you should do an oil change

The water in the oil container would evaporate before the end of the night..so I would say no. The oil would then "cook" and stick to the inside of the oil receptacle.

There 2 places where the oxygen sensor is installed/located. Upstream and downstream. You have to check with your mechanic which one is not functioning. It happens to me also and I found out that it's the downstream which is no longer working. The upstream is just fine as it was the one replaced. Normally, it should be replaced both at the same time.

Yes, you use a couple of drops of oil to several ml of water. If you have timer set for longer than your water lasts, it shuts off automatically.

I had the same issue with it, so I just add the oil to the water as well. It's worked great for me so far.

Yes this humidifier needs water to work. Also you may add 1 drop of oil per fill. And replace the filter every 2-3 months with a FILTRWIX sold in amazon
