I would like to use this with a misting system, so it needs to run for 8 hours? What is the time limit to how long this will run?

Hi Beth,This is a great timer and is my third one. I buy them for my irrigation systems and have been using them for a long time. You won't have any problem setting this up to run for 8 hours. You can set any duration between 1 minute and 11 hours and 59 minutes.Good Luck!Alex

Amazingly, this is one of the only non-commercial timers on the market that will water for more than 4 hrs each day. This one will do up to 12 hrs. I use this for watering trees, which need a longer duration with soaker hoses.

First of all you have to have water in it for the mist part to work. Then when you push the mist button you actually have to hold it in and then it will turn first onto the 1 hour spot, then if you push it again immediately you can switch it up to the 2 hr, 3 hr, or continuous run setting. This one will run 8-10 hours depending on how much water you have in there. You cannot fill it past the 700 ml line but it has to be above the min. fill line. After unit is running you push the high/low button to adjust the mist intensity. Hope this helps. I love my diffuser.

It steams about two hours ,it's run out before without damage but wouldn't recommend doing that. It is not a large steamer and needs to be refilled way more than once daily.

A small amount shouldn't be a problem, use a spray bottle and one to two mists should be fine

Yes it will work perfect for a misting. It's just the right amount of pressure

Cool mist. We use ours in our dental office and it lasts from open to close, about 6 hrs.

If you plan on using the hot steam, remove the wand portion (the tube that extends with the essential oil compartment) since the heat of the steam will crack the base of the want...I use the hot steam for 5-7 minutes. Monitor the hot water level. As far as the cold mist, you can attach the wand and soak a cotton ball with 2-3 drops of any essential oil...the cold mist is used for 5-10 minutes.

It depends on what setting. I most commonly refill mine every 24 hours. But there are settings that diffuse more slowly. I think it can run for 48 hours nearly. There are also settings that diffuse more quickly.I just read the other post. There are four fan speed settings and 4-5 mode settings including intermittent ones. Many more options than high and low. I just started mine to see how long it runs.

I run mine on the intermittent setting (it runs for 6 hours)... approximately half the water is gone. I always reflll it before starting it again, so not sure exactly. Based on what I've observed, maybe 12 hours? It automatically shuts off after 6, or 3 (if on constant).

No, just continuous, 1 min and 3 min. The mist is so fine that even setting on 3min on, 3 min off, doesn't overwhelm the room. It's just the right amount for my 9x 14 space.

Did you ever find a timer that does performs like you asked? I want to program my misting system like this...come on every five minutes for a one minute spray time. Thank you.

As a rule if I fill mine to the fill line it will run 3 to 4 nights which about 32 hours mine has never ran 80 hours I run mine on the low setting.. The 80 hour statement has never happen for me.

You're right! Mine doesn't run the 8 hours either. I've actually stopped using this one and went back to the one by Green Air. It DOES last 8 hours and the oils are diffused better (not sure why). I might use it lot add a nice scent to a room, but still, why would I use this one when the other one works better and I can benefit from the oils better?!

I am not sure of the maximum time as I only run it about 30 minutes at a time. I have not had to refill the water very often. Sorry I cannot answer your question.

I never tried to run it long enough for it to stop. I had it on a timer that would cycle 10-15 seconds every minute or so. I was just laying down a ground cover of fog...

There is about a half gallon or so size container which gives out a nice mist for a few hours , until it is empty . The machine does not oscillate which would be nicer ....

It doesn't have adjustable mist settings but you can change the light colors or leave light off. I run mine at night and it runs out early morning so I would guess it runs for +/- 6 hours? The nice thing is that it turns itself off so I don't have to worry about it!
