Can I keep the air pump on 24/7?

Absolutely! But remember to change the air stone once it no longer makes bubbles.

Don't think so. But there is an internal timer that's used for redundancy. It won't pump more than a certain% more than the previous times. If it is still calling for water, the safety shuts it down completely

As far as I'm concerned there should be an "always on" option as I know that you can leave the machine on for as long as you want. I highly recommend the BP monitor in case you are not sure about getting it. I personally love this thing. --Ralph

Yes, you can run 24/7 if you have a need for it. The machine will shut down when the filter needs to be cleaned. To restart after cleaning, hold down both the on/off button and the timer button for about 3 seconds. This will reset the cleaning light and start back up.

Yes, the air pump must stay connected and running while the slide is in operation.

This pump only lasted about 5-6 tube inflates over 12 months. It shouldn't be used for more then 20 minutes without a 10 minute cool down. I wouldn't recommend it for 24/7.

Yes, you can leave it plugged in 24/7. If you were not going to start your car for a month, you might want to unplug it, but even then, it wouldn't use enough power to drain your battery. If you have a digital watch, think how long it will run on it's little tiny battery. Just about the same thing with this little voltage meter. I have mine in a boat and I never unplug it.

No, it is either on and pumping or off when power is disconnected. Unless you have a way to turn the power on and off from water level then it is on all the time.

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.

First off, cool car! The pump works fine for continuous use. However, I would suggest wiring it with a relay and a toggle switch. When in heavy traffic or idleing for a long time the pump can overheat. Try to mount it in a place where it gets plenty of airflow. Also be careful starting it in extreme cold because the condensation can freeze and cause it to self destruct.

Not sure about the 24/7. Switch on mine went bad after 1 season. Shouldn't be an issue if you are keeping it on.

Yes this is true. Once plugged in the light stays on so to shut it off you need to unplug it. As far as bubbling goes, you can either not hook up an air pump (never have bubbles) or if you install an air control valve outside the take in the air line between the air pump and bubbler, you can control bubble flow from nothing to allot.

No, the machine needs to be off. Just attach to the pump suction and give it a squirt. It takes very little and the the can is good for several applications.

There is a separate tether switch that plugs into the main cord. It can be removed if you want the pump to run continuously.

No. And for safety reasons, I wouldn't recommend doing either leaving it on constantly, or running it when not at home.
