I do not have power outlet available under the sink, how long do the batteries last for average usage?

I have had mine since November 2013 and batteries just died on us. The bathroom sink is used at least 16 times daily. The faucet is located in my kids bathroom (4 kids) so its probably used much more then this especially when friends come over.

I have had them installed nine months in church w daily use and have not replaced batteries yet

I bought it since october last year 2013 and with daily use on a household of 3 had not replaced the batteries as yet.

the batteries should be in a pack under the vanity or sink. I think they were double A or maybe Triple A. I no longer have this faucet because it started to drip a lot after the first month. Hope you have better luck. It was nice when first installed

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

I run this from the outlet, and it's been exceptionally reliant. There's a back-up battery for emergency power outage.

It's not much. A standard 15- or 20-amp outlet (like one that is probably under your sink for a garbage disposal) will suffice.

We have ours in a part time location so we unplug each time. Water is hot within 10-15 minutes and we don't ever notice we run out.

I use Duracell batteries, but I do not use it in the same environment as you. I guess would check every 30 days or so. I would worry more about the electricity going out.

I would buy a crap ton of batteries as they drain out if you leave the little on/off switch in the on position. Just remember to turn it off after each use and it should last as long as anything else.

We have a generator which automatically turns on when utility power is lost for more than 15-20 seconds, so I do not know how long the computer would remain operative without the generator.

There's a power override switch under sink you can easily switch to get water in power outage. love the faucet, wasn't sure at first, but very used to it now

4 batteries (AA or AAA, I can't recall) and the batteries don't last very long at all. I installed this above my kitchen sink and within a week the batteries were dead and it wasn't like I left the light on 24/7.

I bought an extra Pk of the button batteries but have not had to replace it yet...she's used it for about a total of 3 hrs in sinks and pools...

I'll need to qualify my response by saying I do not need this machine every night, so it's not in constant use; I also use the timer feature (normally I pick the 60 min. setting). Having said that - I'm still on the first set of alkaline batteries since I purchased it in March 2013. If I had to guesstimate, I'd say you should probably get at LEAST a month straight out of nightly one-hour usage.

15 minutes - all it takes really. Just make sure that you have power outlet somewhere close.

If you have a deadbolt above you will need ot buy a filler plate. Lowe's carries them for cheap that's what I had to use. The batteries last for about 1-3 months depending on usage. I wired up an old power pack off a linksys router and it runs the lock and charges the batteries 24/7. Email me for more detail on how to wire it up, its very simple!

On some models, the battery is behind a small rubber wedge, directly below the faucet handle. That means below the sink. CR2354, + side up. The battery life is expected to last one year, however, for heavy use the battery may need to be replaced sooner. Light is green for the life of the filter, red at suggested replace time, either 6 months or sooner. To reset the electronic monitor during replacement of filters, remove and reinsert battery. I saw an online manual here, see page 8: http://www.freshwatersystems.com/specifications/watts-WP-RO4-manual.pdf
