how can I extend life of Feliway diffuser?

I have thought of just unplugging it for a few hours a day, don't know how else to extend the life. It is rather expensive. Good luck!

If you are referring to the plug in, I really don't know how to answer that. As far as the bottle that you screw on, I guess if you have a cat that goes in and out you could have it not working while the cat is out, which may also help the life of the plug in. Then my concern would be that there would not be enough pheromones in the house to help the situation? Hope this helps?

I do not know of any sure fire way except the obvious...dilute the liquid with water or unplug it for a few hours a day or overnight. It seems to bring a lot of peace to our two cats. They always sleep for hours in the room where the diffuser is plugged. Buy refills in quantity to safe....good luck

Don't buy them as I don't any longer. I have 16 cats and noted NO change to their behavior at all. Only change was my asthma got bad.

Yes, the Feliway and ComfortZone diffusers and refills are interchangeable.

I have not followed the 6 month change but as the other post says it does get grungy after continued use - it will eventually fail burn out (not work). The 6 month maintenance sounds safe - seems like my diffusers last about a year plus, not more than 2 years. I have to admit I did not read the instructions just used it like a air freshener.

How to clean the diffuser: 1. Use equal parts natural vinegar and water. Use enough to cover the bottom inside the base. Let the mixture sit inside the base for 15-20 minutes to help break up the oils that may have accumulated on the ceramic discs inside the Diffuser. Then use a soft cotton fabric to clean the mist disc (on the bottom middle) and the sensor in the bottom of the unit with the vinegar solution in the tank. 2. Rinse with water (be careful when you empty the water, so that it doesn't get into the motor). That's it!

Hi, try to remove all the water from the Diffuser and to clean the water from the air outlet by using a piece of cotton then keep it open for few hours to dry well or keep it for one day, then fill it with water as usual and operate it, I hope this will be beneficial and work with you.

I'd buy a different diffuser per the scent. Since it absorbs whatever scent is placed in it, you would need a fresh, new one for a different scent. The plastic bottle you use you can just rinse out.

There is a good video on youtube that shows how to clean the diffuser. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExkH1Ohxa9Y. Just remove the bottle and use rubbing alcohol to soak the glass parts. You can also use hot water if the clog is very thick.

Don't use a towel or anything underneath the diffuser - there is a fan on the bottom that has to "breathe" if you will. Also, fill to just below the max line. Those were the 2 things that I found fixed that problem.

I have never seen the diffusers sold without the liquid, so if you are looking for diffusers only then no this won't be what you need and I have no idea where you'd find them short of calling the company that makes them. I understand the diffusers are good for around 6-7 months.

Hi, I think it also depends on if you just have it on for humidity or if you have it on as diffuser. I have never had it 10/12 hours or if I did, very rarely. I had a regular diffuser that I bought not from amazon and that one truly lasts. its called the premium whisper diffuser off abundanthealth. This one is ok, but isn't exactly how I would have wanted it to work. takes more ti fill and clean where as the other one I had was quite a sinch. Anyway, sometimes the wate lasts a bit longer than 3 hours, but rarely the 10/12 hours. Maybe I am doing something wrong on my end. Hope I helped some.

I hand washed in cold water with liquid detergent then let air dry overnight, for me it extend the life of the item.

Well Cynthia, When I fill the diffuser to it's max. capacity. Then run it on high with constant on. I get about six hours. I have tried it on the low setting with time out intervals, and it has lasted close to 2 1/2 days..... Hope this helps : ) Keep on Diffusing!!!

You could but don't leave it on for long periods of time, the one I gave to my mom the light got to hot an it started browning the inside of the diffuser.

Fill with vinegar (full strength or 50/50, let it sit for half and hour, then rinse). It was impossible to figure out the directions of this diffuser when I bought it, but another diffuser that I purchased said to wipe daily with vinegar so that the motor doesn't wear down, so I think descaling is possibly an issue.

Have you taken the old one out? Just put this one in the same hole. Then, locating the holes in the diffuser, use a screw driver to screw the unit to the floor.
