How long does the water run after it's been activated?

For as long as your hands keep within the range of the beam. Eventually it become second nature. Shuts off immediately when not in range.

No. Mine took a few hours to run through the first time. Then get rid of that water and begin again for water to drink.

Not very long - maybe 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't work at all - I have to empty out the water and refill it before it will work. These are NOT worth the money.

When you first set up your dehumidifier, you are instructed to run it in continuous mode for 24 hours. You will get a notification on the dial face when the bucket is full to empty it. After the continuous operation, you can then select the humidity level you want on the dial face.

I usually let the cold water run after it shuts of for 30 sec then shut off the water to it for another 30 sec to let it cool. Then I can turn it back on for another 20 min.

I believe that the way this one works is by sensing the presence of the minute electrical current or the lack thereof. The sensor must be set so that the pump runs at least 10 seconds. I am assuming that is enough time for the pump to discharge enough water and lower the level of the water in the pump sufficiently to allow the sensor to /not/ sense a current and therefore stop activating.

If you put in the tank it will not last long. It is activated when you flush and the water goes through the tubing system.

It should run until all the water/oil mixture has been diffused, and it's much longer than 5 mins. Just make sure you don't fill it past the designated line.

I agree with the other answers. Mine runs for approx 20 secs on a timer. There is only a top highwater float and not a "shut off float" at the bottom. Your pit is decent sized so there is a lot of water in it circumference-wise to empty in 20 seconds. It should not matter whether there is still water in the pit and indeed you don't want the pump to be running part of the time as dry. I'd rather have a little extra water than not enough such that part of the 20 second run time is dry. 4 inches in the bottom seems just fine. When it fills again the pump will turn on again.

I just tested mine... the answer is "yes" The button stays in the last position used (whether spray or stream) after the water is turned off. When you turn the water back on, you get the same output as before.

I have only used mine for several short periods. Time would depend on whether you run it continuously or turn it on and off.

it works continuous, when it fills up it turns off, then you remove the tank in back and empty it sink or toilet. put the tank back and it comes back on. it will not splash when removing tank, you have to pull stopper out and drain out the water. i have empty mine every 2 or 3 days. it runs all the time. i have 2 of them and love 'em!!!!

Just pull the water container out and dump the water. Water should be fully drained within 1 min after unit turned off.

I haven't timed it, but if the water is hot is happens pretty fast.. I'd guess three to five seconds.

Mine lasted for about eight hours of continuous usage. After that it needs about a gallon of water.

More than 3-4 hours. Havnt tested it for that but distilled water is super cheap to buy so isn't a concern.

The steam stays on until you've run out of water. I haven't timed it but it is a reasonable amount of time. When you refill it is only a matter of seconds before you can continue.
