How do I set the water level for a 9hr run time? The water in the inner cup ran low after a 50min cycle followed by 1hr of the 2hr cycle. I noticed that it wasn't misting and checked inside, the inner cup needed to be smoothed out and water added. Once I did that it was misting wonderfully. I'd like to be able to run it overnight and have it consistently misting, I'm concerned that the water won't last. Any recommendations? How do I set the water level for a 9hr run time?

The instructions specify that one fill of the plastic cup (1/3 cup water) will last for 1 cycle on the timer thing (where the on and off button is located). If you choose the 9 hr cycle (the very last cycle located all the way on the right side of the on and off switch) if will run all night.

Do you mean a continues run time? I'm wanting the same info. I filled up the inner cup to almost full and it will run for days on that amount of water. The cup is so fragil I don't think I'd smooth it out. The wrinkles don't seem to interfere with the misting on my machine. It looks like it will run for up to 8 hours but not continuously.

You need to make sure the tank has water up to between the lower water line and upper water line (using the fill cup). Then the liner cup you can put much more water into. I typically fill it up about halfway. If I fill it up and if it doesn't mist I just take a small amount of water out until it starts misting, then add my EOs.

It is designed to go through the water at a slower pace. We have set it for the 9 hr overnight in our bedroom. Really like it!

You should be fine, maybe add just a touch more water. Roughly the same amount of water will be used, the 15 second intervals of misting just have longer gaps between on the longer cycles. There does seem to be an inconsistency to the amount of water that gets used, but I feel like that has more to do with the amount of moisture in the air, than the length of the cycle. I run mine on the 7 hour cycle regularly, and I continues to mist the whole time, but uses approximately the same amount of water as when I run the one or three hour cycles.

I use the steamer until all steam is used. I use the cup provided to fill it up to the line specified. I use 2 cups of water. I use very hot water from the tap so it does not take that long to heat up--I think 5 minutes. I do all my cleaning with the control on high--so it might be less than 5 minutes for you. I clean my 1-bedroom apartment; the whole kitchen (cupboards, walls, stove etc.) It takes about an hour. It tells you in the appliance book how long you should wait to refill the steamer I don't think it takes too long. I've never had to do it. The steamer is a fabulous addition to my vacuum and other appliances I own. Hope this helps. I use the steamer until all steam is used. I use the cup provided to fill it up to the line specified.

Hi Deborah! I found your question worthy of further investigation. Although I was pretty certain mine had run longer than 4 hours, I thought I would pay better attention today. lol I filled it to the max and it ran for 7 hours. (I may have lost track of the last hour. As the water level decreases, the mist isn't quite as "thick".) In any case, it ran longer than 4 hours. I am very pleased with the performance of this little room diffuser. Regards, Ms. Wit

Here are my test times, all starting out with cold water from my tap, altitude 315 ft above sea level, 71 deg F inside house:1.5L: 9 min 28 sec1.0L: 6 min 20 sec0.7L (or 3 cups, or 2 large mugs worth): 4 min 3 sec

I just went and adjusted the setting to see... The time on a zone went up to 240 minutes duration. It can only run one zone at a time. You can set a zone to water up to 4 times per day.

For me has lasted all night, I haven't let it run more that 8 hours, but it's lasted at least until then. The water was about 1/4 full after that time, so I'm assuming it can run close to 10 hours.

I don't actually think that works. 1. There's a strainer on the inlet. 2. The bottom container gets "pressurized" to help vaporize the water. That said, I fill it and it will run on low with the misters on a high volume setting for approximately 6 hours before having to refill.

I'd say five minutes. No problem there. It will have plenty of steam for as much water you add. It says in the instructions you can add two measuring cups full, I usually use one to be safe. The thing is to be sure that when you change the accessories, they are on solid. This is emphasized in the instructions. I found that the steam will leak out if the attachment isn't on properly so watch for that.

This unit has 3 levels of operating. If it is on the highest setting, it better be at least 10' off the floor or it will soak the floor. I have a 2 bedroom condo and I keep ours on low. It is on top of a bookshelf(5' up) and the misting is no problem. On the medium setting our floor will stay dry also. But on high, oh boy. It puts out a ton of misting on high. Also, on low it will go approx. 36 hours. On medium it will last approx. 18-20 hours. We never have left ours on high for any length of time so not sure how long it would last but would assume approx 10-12 hours at best. Hope this may help. LRE This unit has 3 levels of operating.

Instructions say simmer 1 hr. It'll vary based upon altitude, water quality, and additions. I've never tried to rush it, and prefer to simmer longer for flavor blending.

Fill it with cold water and let it set until the foam rubber thing inside soaks up the water, Then roll it up until you get the water out. Better yet, send it back and hope you get a refund. It doesn't work and it just makes you sweat more at night.

Start with a lower water level and see if that helps. The only times mine has not stayed on for several hours is when the water level was too high.

I have mine set to run one hour at 5pm and cool at 6PM. Screen one is the clock, Mode 1 is set at 5pm as well as mode 2. Mode 3 is stop time at 6pm and mode 4 is cool down mode at 6pm, but the unit keeps running. What am I doing wrong?

There are 3different mists settings. They last around 1hr on high, 2-3 on med, and 4 on low. However mine only lasted 2months before going kooky & breaking down.

You have to pour water to the top chamber slowly and evenly, but only a small amount, because the top filters much faster than the bottom one. Try 1-liter first, about 2-quarts, with no water at the bottom, wait about 4 hours and then see how fast it goes through. Sometimes we have leaks because we fill the top part with much water than it can handle.Hope this helps.Daniel

It has 5 time choices; 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100 minutes. I fill mine to the max level with distilled water. There is always a bit of water left after 100 minutes, when it shuts off. It does not have an actual timer. It is totally noiseless.

You make 2 selections - first, water every day, every other day or every 3rd day. Then, choose the number of minutes to run each time it comes on - choices are 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. So, if at 4:00 pm you set the timer to run daily for 30 minutes, it will do that at 4pm every day.
