I want it to run continuously. Will it manually stay on, or do I have to keep turning it on after the 4 hour timer times out? Thanks.

timer function is independent of the on function. So it will run continuously if you just turn it on.

It has a timer. It'll only run for that set amount of time then it'll turn off. That's normal.

Seriously ? Mine never stops unless I power it off. The only thing I can think of is something with the timer setting. Maybe you have the timer set to go off every few minutes. Can you get a stopwatch and get some data on the intervals of on/off ? Maybe unplugging it will reset it if it is for some reason set by the timer option. If that doesn't reset it then perhaps it is malfunctioning. It definitely sounds like timer related.

I asked the same question when I called support. Set your time on and off. Manually turn them on. The on off time will then take over. The time you set will do that function. It will not evaluate the on off function continually throughout time. If set to turn on at 6 will turn on at 6. If you manually turn off then I won't turn on again until 6. Again set it and then be patient.

There is an off button at the bottom. You press and hold one of the buttons, the top one I think, to override the timer and keep it constantly on.

This switch isn't really meant for continuous power. So it wouldn't stay 'on' as long as the float is in a particular position.Basically, when the float 'triggers' the switch to run (ie power on), it is programmed to automatically run for about 10 seconds, then it shuts off the power again.This time limit is hard coded and not configurable either.I don't think it will work for what you want to use it for.

No...not on mine. It stays at five minutes until you change it. What are describing would me a malfunction. Mine has worked flawlessly.

we dont have ours on an automatic timer but it should work fine. Once you set it for the color you want, it will stay on that color if you wait at least 30 seconds after it turns off before you turn it back on. If you turn it back on in less than 30 seconds it may reset to another color but its easy to correct that if it happens. Hope that helps

I don't know that I would leave anything running 24/7 but don't see why you couldn't. What I did was get a timer so it would go on and off regularly without any effort on my part. That way it can run at the most important times for four hours three times a day.

Oh my word. Thank you for the question. YES. I tried it as you said... I was wondering why my timers would all start over. I'v purchased a lot of them, so I won't forget things.. Yes... I put in 3 seconds, it went off; so I pushed stop. Then, I just pushed start again, and it counted down the 3 seconds. I did it about 4 times... 'cool' and thanks again for the question.

I have not found out a way to make it run continuously. It stops every 30 minutes.

There is a timer of sorts on this unit. You can adjust how many hours you would like the unit to run (only 1 hour increments). So instead of setting a timer for 3:30 - 5:30, you would turn it on at 3:30 and set for 2 hours. Hope that makes it clear.

I've never tried running it all night, but I'm pretty sure you can. To select a time limit (15, 30, or 60 minutes), you push a button and the light beside the time lights up, indicating which time has been selected. When I turn my on, none of the timer options are lit up, so I assume that means it will run indefinitely. Hope that helps!

Yes, it has timed settings of 30, 60, 90 minutes AND one that will allow it to run until you turn it off. It's GREAT !!!!!

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?

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

It shuts off automatically after 1 hour. I don't think you can override that.
