have mine running with a timer 20hr on, 4 off.lights too. the water is about the same as my room temp, it is 80 degrees in my room and the temp probe in the water says 81 degrees been running 12 hours now. they recommened 18 on 6 off. going to change my timer to that. had to make a new squirter pvc pipe 1 inch longer so it sprayed on the rockwool not below it? clones are very healthy. going to put AC in the room soon summer coming.

It shuts off when the reservoir is full, but not when the desired temp is reached. However, it is very quiet, so you don't notice that it runs constantly.

No. The water stays pretty warm though. I use this in my salon. I am happy with it.

no, unfortunately it does not. ours ran out while we were on vacation as we forgot to mention to our sitter to fill it. luckily the pump did not burn up

No, this pump will keep pumping until it burns up. Or gets the power shut off. You'll have to have some sensor in the tank to shut it off

Yes it is not a continuous heat it only heats the water when pressure goes thru the system, when the water stops moving the burners turn off. Does not work with gravity feed systems must be pressurized water. RV electric water pump works perfectly.

I can't answer that directly. I've had mine in for less than a month. I can tell you that it's not necessary to have it on all the time. I programmed mine to run constantly in the mornings and evenings when the water gets heavy use in our house. For the time in between I have set it to go on and off every 15 minutes. I work from home and use the water fairly often at those times. I have noticed no real difference than when it's running full time at peak hours. There is also no reason to have it running in the middle of the night. I look at it more from a longevity of the pump perspective than an energy perspective. I don't think they use that much energy to run, but the pump (any pump) has a life span. The only reason I may run mine at night is for winter. The farthest pipes from the water heater are on an outside wall. A well-insulated outside wall, but if we get sub-zero temps like we did last year I may run every half hour or so at night just to keep the pipe warm.

No, you just need access to the regular water pipe going in to the reservoir. It has an internal heating mechanism to warm the water to 3 temp levels.

Yes, the water and the pump run the entire time. The water keeps the slide wet for the little ones to slide down.

no it does not. but it is very durable. this was a gift for my daughter in law. I already had one and I cant remember how long I have had it. it is a very good product, and my daughter in law loves it, and has no complaints. I think as long as the heater does not get wet, it will be fine in your pump house.

yes, it is well insulated and does not turn on and off constantly. I used to look under the sink frequently to see if it was on or not and rarely do I see it on unless I have just used a lot of hot water.

I have had mine on continuously for months no problem! Hot water every time! I lo e it. Have given it as ape ial gift and they love it too!

I do not know about it running 12 hours a day but I use my punp about an hour a day. It runs well and you can replace the tubing at some point. Can you use an automatic pump such as a condensate pump so it does not run continuously? The pump runs well and is inexpensive if it needs to be replace.

No It does not it pumps water out of anything but will keep going once water is done and will burn out.

yes it does get warm, I guess that says it is using a lot of power, the product works great!!

No. It only gets warm when there is a load on it approaching its rated wattage.

No you don't have to run it all the time, but I would recommend buying a cover for it and running the pump/filter at least 6 to 8 hours for best results. Remember to chlorinate.
