Is there an automatic shut off? Is the waterline clearly marked? Because I read if you put in too much water it will cause damage.

there is not an automatic shut off. You do have the option of turning it on so that the machine runs for 1 minute and is off for 1 minute, or something like that. I'm not exactly sure of how long the on/off time is, but it's quite sshort. There is a clear raised line inside the water reservoir for the max fill line. Sort of reminds me of the clear raised lines on the clear caps of liquid laundry detergent. I either take it in the bathroom to fill where there is good light, or I only fill it half full. If it is empty, it will not run.

Yes, it shuts off automatically and beeps a few times to let you know it is shutting off. The light also goes out when it shuts off. There is a clear water line mark.

Yes, automatic shut off, but it beeps. So, if you are a light sleeper it will wake you up. There is a ridge for the water line.

It will shut off when water runs all the way out. If yours does not shut off you may have a problem.

Yes, it shuts off automatically, and what ever amount of water you put in will come out. As long as you don't overfill the well.

Hi Pete,Once the heating pot heats up the water it automatically shuts off and will not come back on until you manually set it.

Yes, it is an automatic shutoff. Once the water boils the switch clicks off.

It shuts off automatically, but not based on collection jug level. It has a float switch inside that turns it off when inside water level gets low. If jug is emptied before each run, it works great. If jug was partially full before a run it would overflow.

NO, the auto shut off won't work unless in the up/floating position. To get the water level lower, I tied the float into an up position and then watched until it started sucking air.

No automatic time shut off. Unit starts and stops by means of the water flow.

Yes when it runs out of the amount of water you put in it automatically shuts off.

Mine has never turned on automatically and so far it hasn't turned off automatically either however logically you would turn it off when the water is spent.M

No. The on off switch is on the part that is lowered into the water. best way to stop flow is just to lift it out of the water- it doe not appear to be damaged if it runs w/out water in it for a little bit. My guess is that was no on/off switch at the top to increase reliability and reduce the cost of the device.

When the continuous mode is set, the unit automatically turns off when the bucket is full of water. After emptying the water, the unit starts again. I have not tried to use the other mode.

It continues to run without water to pump...I haven't had that issue yet because I monitor it closely when I use it...that's what I meant about not have an auto shutoff...that would be good but for an inexpensive purchase, it has served me well so far.

The fitting has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is internal. I believe it is the diagram which will not let the pump shut off once it is activated. Once the water is drained and the float lowers/returns to the normal "off" position, the water never turns off.

No, it does not have an auto shut off, but being the traveler I am, I have never had to worry about the water running too low. I have only one cat but I have been on vacation for two weeks at a time (with a housesitter coming in daily ONLY to feed and play with my kitty) only to come back with an adequate supply of water. The water reservoir is the biggest on the market, that I know of, and is definitely worth the purchase. I hope that helps answer your question.

Mine did not have an auto shut off. Also i had issue with the built in tempurature control several times i would find it go up over 130c which would kill off the bacteria if left that way for too long.

It runs until it is out of water then the lights start flickering on and off indicating that you should unplug it or put more water in it. I've never let it run past this point so I do not know if it turns itself off.
