Yes,remove the batt.pack from the battery cable-disconnect the 2 spades (black and red wires)disconnect the electronics module by releasing tabs-leave valve body in place then momentarily connect the + terminal of the battery to the -terminal of the solenoid and the -terminal of the battery to the + terminal of the solenoid. Or you can remove the entire module and just connect the tubes.

There is a control box under the sink that, yes, can be bypassed with if the electronics/batteries fail. I have yet to have to replace the batteries on the faucet, and we've had this installed for years. Also, it's a battery pack that you insert a bunch of AAs into, so it isn't hard to replace the batteries when necessary. That said, bypassing the electronics isn't as simple as flipping a switch; it will require reworking a couple of connections under the sink. Maybe a 10-15 minute job for a neophyte like me (pure guesswork given that we haven't had to do it and the initial install took under an hour).

You can leave it turned on. I really liked the faucet - until we couldn't turn it off one day. After about two years of use it simply did not turn off again. I see there have been other instances of this happening with other purchasers. It may have something to do with what type of water you use, or it may just self-destruct no matter what, so beware.

Yes- the lights can be turned off. And no- there is just on or off, but it automatically shuts off when the water runs out.

There are 3 settings - high, low and off. It will automatically turn off if it runs out of water. However, there is no timer as such. Thanks.

Yes you can turn the light off, and it does have an auto shut off when out of water. Thanks.

You can change f and c. I know there is battery AA I think but I thought I read that it had a built-in generator when water turned on not 100% sure about that

Since there is no external on-off switch on this fountain we simply unplug it when not in use. Our outlet outside has a waterproof cover so we don't worry about that. Hope this helped. Enjoy.

When I remove the batteries the thermostat stays off, so, yes, your pipes could freeze if the batteries die. If this is a major concern for you, I'd recommend a simple mechanical thermostat.

No wind up. It is water activated. Put it in water, it turns on. Take it out of water and it turns off automatically. The batteries are for the lights only, yes.

yes, mine just started turning off and I can not get the buttons on the hose to work. My unit is just over 2 years old. I really love it when it works, but not so much right now.

It should work without you buying batteries. There is no battery to install. Did you press the "on" button? If it does not come up 000, you have a faulty water tester. Send it back.

Yes, but you have to make sure you have the water on and running when you remove the batteries. If you just remove the batteries while the flow is off and try to operate as a normal faucet it won't work.

Yes. Mine turns off automatically if I have the water running for a long time. I actually like this feature. It does save water.
2075732
Yes it can but there is a blue light showing the faucet is on. If the handle is turned to the off position and you touch the metal, the should be on and therefore the battery may die quicker.We dont like our faucet as much now. The touch control seemed cool, but the warer flow is always too strong or too slow for your next task.I would not recommend this item for this reason.

No. Turned if off for the winter. Turned it back on for the summer and it sounds like it is running but there is zero water being pulled out of the air (after a week). I'm doing internet searches to troubleshoot but there aren't really any settings to change. I think it's just busted.

yes....just dont let it freeze...great unit....i use it off grid so battery ignition is great.....20 min hot water at a time just let it rest for 5 and its ready to go again

Yes. There is a float mechanism in the bottom of the resevoir which shuts the unit off when water is low
