How is the flow of oil controlled, to start & stop flow?

Just a slight little squeeze gives you a small drop of oil. So, it doesn't just spill out all over the place and make a mess. It is controllable. Then I store it up rather than keeping it on it's side when not in use. I use it for classical guitar tuners.

The oil is extruded with simple pressure on the flexible reservoir vial. Held like a pen and with the extremely long needle tip, the oil can be administered to exact locations drop by drop which is all that's needed in most cases.

The pen is made of a plastic tube. You control the flow by squeezing. No squeezing, no flow.

container is flex plastic. Squeeze gently and oil comes our, release grip and it stops

I have a mix of oil in a spray bottle and spray it directly into the top opening while it is off. I actually give it 2-3 good sprays then turn it on. Good luck!

Yes, you use a couple of drops of oil to several ml of water. If you have timer set for longer than your water lasts, it shuts off automatically.

It is started by inserting the stopper with it turned to hit the switch inside the barrel. The leading edge of the stopper is irregular and is very easy to use.

Hi Carol, During the extraction process, no direct heat is used but we do need to keep our the oil warm at a certain temperature in order for it to flow during production process. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I agree with Tony F. The exterior of the unit stays cool and handle-able during use. If you let the oil cool (3 hours) after using, the drain/filter feature works really well. I decided to keep mine, as I was impressed with it's fast 'rebound'.

It has a built in dropper....that controls the flow drop by drop...easy to use...

You have to use a bit of "squeeze" pressure to get the fluid started, once it has, don't use any more or the flow becomes too much. It also helps to keep the bottle in a more upright position while using the brush when you can and especially if you already have to much "flow" going! It is a balancing act to learn how to control the flow of fluid, but it works really well once you've gotten some practice with it. I really haven't had too much of a "leakage" problem, so maybe you have a defective bottle....

If you look on the inside reservoir there is a small raised area...it is the same color so look carefully. That is the water fill line. My instructions suggested using distilled water-I use filtered and wipe reservoir clean every couple of days. My instructions suggested using 2-5 drops of oil per fill. I typically use 5. Also, when you turn it on you get one beep-this setting will run continually until empty. Push button a second time you get two beeps. This setting is alternating puffs of 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off until empty. I hope this helps!!!!!

I agree with JEB. if your concern is the strength of the flow, there is a valve to regulate it.

Pretty much is on & off. Flow is pretty slow anyway, what is the point of going slower. What I did, was just drop the head in the bucket of water if for any reason I wanted to stop. for example, running to grab something I had forgot. But the on off button was easy access too

There is a wheel adjustment to control the water to the bowl. It works pinching the tube that goes into the overflow tube and reduces flow.

I have had it in for over a year now, no problems opening or closing the valve. Just dose not flow oil as quick as I would like, much smaller opening than pulling the bolt.

It does not have a speed control. You would mount a ball valve on the output side of the pump and control the flow with the valve.

Unit has a separate air connection where it pushes the used oil out. It also comes with its own drain hose and connection that you attach to drain the used oil into approved containers.

Yes, there is, it will automatically shut down if the oil level is low! We have two of these and really like the way they work. The only complaint we have is that there is no way of telling if the oil level is low nor is there a dip stick, you just have to try and check the level yourself and keep it filled.

You control when it is on. You also control the direction and the volume of water.
