Can you disable the water activation feature? It will be attached to my life vest and I dont want it activating in a non-emergency situation

dont know technical of it. but I would say no. off/auto means its off until automatically activated in the water.

It's designed to do just what you intend. It is not easily activated by rain, spray, or the facts of just being in a boat. It has to be honestly submerged. Even then it may take a while to get bubbles out of the air chambers. Clipping it on a vest and standing/working in a driving downpour? I don't think would activate it.

I do not know, have not tried, but you can contact manufacturer at info@ust-marine.com hope that helps.

Probably not. Looks like connected on a circuit board. It won't activate with wet weather or splashes. Needs to be submerged under water to activate.

Technically, I don't think you can disable the water activation. The rotating switch is has two distinct positions - manual ON, and AUTO/OFF. As others have said, it does take some time (maybe 10-30 seconds) to turn on when submerged in tap water. The two water sensor contacts are on either side of the rotating switch, near the strobe lens, so it takes more than a splash of water to activate the strobe.

Yes - The "See-Me" LED Rescue Strobe does allow you to deactivate the light so it doesn't activate in water. You first turn the light top clockwise fully to the "ON" position and then turn it fully counterclockwise to the OFF/AUTO position. Although the instructions state that the light might not activate in regular tap water, I tested the light in a pot of tap water and it does function as designed (you must slightly agitate the water, I guess to simulate wave action). This is a really good strobe. The instructions are well written and easy to understand. It only takes about three minutes to read them, test the strobe, and fully understand its operation. I carry it as an emergency beacon in an Eberlestock Operator Pack I have set up as a mission-oriented emergency pack. I purchased the strobe more for use as a location beacon for helicopter extractions rather than for water purposes but it certainly will work in both situations.

No but it really does have to be fully under the water to activate, so splashing won't activate it. Even dunking it in a cup of water it took several seconds to activate.

I've had this issue and I don't swim or shower in mine. I had to stop using it.

The top can be tightened down to turn on. While turning it the opposite way ( left) will turn it off. Haven't used it underwater on purpose. But was not affected when submerged.

I was confused too, but I believe you add water to activate it. However I believe that you don't want to do it until you're ready to use it.

No. They will automatically turn on once the water comes out, but you cant turn it off.

See the handle hanging (lowest item in the photo) that is attached by a line to a small cylinder of air. You have to pull that handle to set off the air that inflates the vest. It is category III lifevest:" Good for calm, inland waters, or where there is a good chance for fast rescue." I was a little disappointed that the makers of these vests are not required to state that in their advertisements. I bought mine for offshore kayaking, and I really should have purchased a more expensive model. If you are doing any river rafting I would recommend something that does not require manual inflation. If you accidentally bump your head, you may be incapable of igniting this device. Good luck. See the handle hanging (lowest item in the photo) that is attached by a line to a small cylinder of air.

I've found it not to, but I did notice on the back by the flash/heartbeat sensor it did raise a little bit. I still take it in the pool, and it does just fine. Just be careful and check the back before and after it gets wet. Hope this answers your question.

On mine I usually keep the hand-held part turned off. When they are both on the water from the hand-held part doesn't hit the fixed head - I have quite good water pressure though.

You can but water ruins electronics! I don't know that much about it was a gift for my Grandson! He loved it! It will climb all over!

There is a button--more of a tab actually--that is attached to the bottom rim of the teapot. Once you place the teapot on its electric cradle you depress the tab/button. When the water reaches a boil the tab pops up to let you know. The tab attaches to a lever inside the pot, which can only be activated when liquid is placed in the pot, so there is no danger of accidentally turning it on without water inside. Too bad the base/pot interface is so poorly made. The concept is great--while it works--but the lifespan of the pot leaves a lot to be desired.

not you can't swimimg because you will damage the beep. Is Not water resist

yes. be careful when you put it in. to activate you have to run about a gallon water through it before it will activate

Mine broke within a few days- the battery compartment gets wet and breaks- as far as turning it off , I had a problem turning it on !

I believe it was battery. I honestly didn't use it bc it became cumbersome to hold while doing your task. Skip it and get a cheap analog wrist watch that is water proof.

The sensitivity has a programable range. If you connect a suction line to vacuum the floor it will shut off the pump. There is a default time where the pump will prime; however, the pump will shut off again within a few seconds. The best thing is to just reset the pump and press start to clear the air and there is no problem after that. I'm retired military and used the 24 hour clock. When I changed to military time, the pump would shut off many times during the day. Found out from company rep that even though this option can be programmed, it is not supported in the firmware. Changing to regular time the intermittent periods of shutting off stopped. I have had this pump a little over a year and wished I would have buying it sooner! My electric bill dropped significantly (run pump 16 hours/day) by $150.00 to $200.00/month! Paid for itself within months! You will not be disappointed, plus at its low speed you have to be close to it. You only hear the water features. The old pump was the only thing you could hear before and it was 20 feet away! Good luck!

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.
