can this unit stay on 100% of the time to make oil? Or are you forced to use the timer? What is the duty cycle?

I have not used it for oil...did not think it was a big enough unit. So not sure about the timer as I always use it...sorry.

It can but I dont recommend it. This specific ozone machine might take too long to produce any in decent amount of time. I hope this helps, but I recommend you do more research

No, The unit was not designed oxidize oil. For every 20 minutes of use, I generally wait 40 minutes before I use it again.

No you cant leave it running 100% of the time its not meant for oil use. The Machine will give out if you leave it running for to long....Cycles are 5 min, 10 min, 20 min & 30 min cycles.

Mine leaks like crazy. It will drain the whole reservoir on the shop floor if I set it down normally. The only thing I've been able is to store it so that it is laying with its oil cap and gas (+oil) cap facing the ground. I wish I had gotten something without the oil leakage and more professional strength instead. As far as oil consumption during use, a tank of gas might last 30 minutes and at that point it has used a full tank of oil as well.

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.

I've been using mine for about 6 months... and have not had to add oil. The level is still right about half way between the max and lo. But mine only runs for about 10 minutes a day to milk my Jersey once a day. I've been very pleased with it, especially when it started right up on a morning with a temp of 14*.

they require startup kit to make sure it is run with there synthetic oil, in the directions i think i read it can be run without it [ synthetic ] ,but then the unit is no longer rated continuous run, thus the lesser warranty, i have had 0 problems with mine

The timer just dings when time is up,it does not turn off the fryer. This fryer is a purchase that we are very happy with. Many great foods have been made in it.

The handwarmer isn't designed to be turned on and off. Once its going you have to let it burn through its fuel. However of course you can definitely find ways to interrupt the burner and stop. There is just not a function built in for that purpose

I'm not an expert on these things. The settings I use are "on setting 10 sec." off settings 15 secs." and when I turn it on I never go very far above the on off switch. In other words I turn it on low and that is where I leave it. I've forgotten it and left it on all night and it didn't use that much oil. That is all I know.

No it has adhesive backing to attach to oil pan. You would need to purchase an additional timer to turn off and on

The switch is a metal rotary knob that controls the speed of the vibration of the device, which controls the rate the oil is diffused. Much like a volume knob on a radio. So yes, your timer would be possible. BTY. Solidly built, quality device.

I have put oils in mine for about one year now, and have not had any problems. this unit has been working great. hope this helps you. Gary

You will need to plug it in to a timer if you want it on a schedule. Without a timer, this regulator is either on or off. You can adjust the flow rate, but that is all.

Thanks for the feedback...as it turns out, the switch on the back of the unit was set for gas instead of electric. Once I flipped the switch, it started cycling properly. I agree that the click can be annoying, but hey, if it gets the job done, I can live with it. Thanks again.

Turns off after about a minute, but if your tools are constantly bumping it, it could turn itself "on". There is no way to totally prevent that. If you zero it out after each use, problem. would be minimized

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

I have never had it shut down, but I have never run it for 15 minutes straight. I do run an oiled paper through it every once in a while.

I believe I read 12 to 15 min depending on how much amperage is being drawn, we have two power outages a week as we run on generators and need to change oil weekly. Sometimes down 5 min and have had no problems. Its really so you can shut down without any loss of work. Hope this helped you.
