Is there a way to shut off the low water alarm, in case I want to use it just as a fan without water?

Yes, you can just use the fan. Please refer to the owner's manual for information.

There is a convient sliding water control valve on the shower head itslef. Water flow can be easily controlled with one hand. On mine it will turn pretty much off when closed all the way.

UPDATE: Craig, While I have not yet installed the Water Siren, I see no provision in the manual for disabling the 90db audible alarm. As Michael suggests, you could use duct tape, or you could stuff an old bucket with rags and invert it onto the Water Siren. From the manual, you could call Control Products Customer Service at 1-800-880-6000 and see if they have better advice or a product that better meets your needs. / Pete

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

I called the 800# & they said it needs to be ran under warm water for 20 seconds, dry it & it should be fine. Did that to mine over & over again but still didnt stop my alarm from going off. Had to return mine, i had the same problem as you.

No i dont think there is a way to turn any off but i dont think u would want to - range is good and noodle streams are very thin - if u want distance more than 20 feet and small area only then probly get diffrrnt type sprinkler-

Yes. The only slight draw backs are that some times pressure on the pad can set it off as well. Once you set the unit...if you unplug it, apply too much pressure to the pad, it will sound the alarm. (False alarm) Just reset the Chummie (Top button) when this happens and you are ready to go.

Yes, the Auto Shut off safety feature will stop the misting once the water level is low.

Turn the temp. of the low alarm down to lower than what the actual low temp. will reach, i.e. 32°F. That should shut it off until such time you need a low alarm.

With the added iHome app, you can dim it as much as you like. I am having some issues with the app though because it doesn't let me use the lower volume for the music part of the alarm. Since I use the white noise quite loudly to go to sleep to, this makes the alarm pretty loud when it goes off. There may be a way to fix this issue, I just haven't found it yet. If you don't go to sleep with sound or don't mind a loud alarm, it wouldn't be an issue for you.

No, the alarm is based on water displacement not water movement. Wind, waves or a pool cleaner shouldn't set it off. We never had problems with our pool cleaner setting off the alarm.

That's the problem: there is no comfortable way to turn it off. You will have to grab the device and switch it off, which will certainly result in the alarm sounding. It's very loud (and you will be at ground zero), so definitely wear ear protection when turning it on or off. This is one of the main reasons why, in my review, I describe this device as impractical. This alarm is a nice concept, but just doesn't play out all that well in practice.

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

Mine doesn't have that capability. I turn mine on Low about half hour before going to bed and have it at the 2 hour setting so it shuts off by itself....I love it!

I test it occasionally by dipping the sensor/lead in water. The alarm sounds. I remove the sensor/lead from the water after a short time, and the alarm silences within a few additional seconds. It seems as if the sensor/lead is rather hydrophobic, so it rapidly ceases signaling when the water is no longer in contact with the sensor. I like that feature.
