Does the sprinkler feature need a house plugged into it? Can I turn off the sprinkler feature if my baby its in it??

It doesn't need to be plugged in the whole time. The sprinkler can be turned off and the baby can just sit in the pool. It's really great!

Nope. There is just an on/off switch. You can leave it on with no hose attached but there is not a setting for it.

The pump actually does needs to stay connected and running when the play house is in use, but the air pump is really not that loud at all so you would barely notice it after awhile.

I think you are talking about the piping that is required to carry the water to the sprinkler heads, this is only the timer that controls the valves (Stations) to open and close them and provide water to the sprinkler heads. This requires no piping just the wiring from the various valves (stations) into the unit and the power to plug into a 110 AC outlet or you can hard wire it if you have a power source. Hope this helps.

If by covered porch you mean rain will not fall directly on the unit or the power outlet, you'll be fine. If it's not already, install a GFI (ground fault interrupter) outlet in that location. Then if there's a short, such as to water, it automatically cuts off the power instantly. My wild guess is the water does not move fast enough to deter mosquitos, but if you try it, please let us know. It's a good question.

You could leave it unplugged. Plug does not detach. We don't use ours in the summer. In the summer we have a 5 gallon metal one we use.

For my unit only one rain sensor can be connected at a time. In my case the sensor will determine if sprinkler system as a whole will come on or not .

I think the only way you can turn the water off at the unit is to put a nozzle on the hose, just make sure it doesn't leak. It would probably be better to move the bush.

It comes with an elbow fitting that adapts from it's 1 1/4 inch outlet to a garden hose connection (shown in the picture). I know hardware stores (like Lowes or Home Depot as well as Amazon) have a "float switch" that you can add to turn it on/off automatically. I've seen in stock the style that's just a "rubber ball" on the end of a cord where you tie it off so the cord end is pulled down from the rising water to turn the pump on, then as the water drops it should flip back over to turn it off. I personally got another style (the "Parts2O" brand model FPS17-66) that has a rod for a plastic float to slide up and down. The float on mine slides up the rod and when it hits the top, it pushes the rod into the switch housing to turn it on. Then as the water drops it slides down the rod but doesn't turn it off until the float is at the bottom and pulls the rod (where you've set a stop). I went with that one since I wanted to have the water taken down quite low (to where the plumbing connection on the pump is) and the other style can't be set that low (it's "rubber ball" needs a lot of swing room and for me it hits the pump and/or won't turn off). Either of those float switches come with ~10 foot of cord and have a standard plug that goes in your wall as well as a place to plug in the pumps plug, so you don't need to do any special wiring. Hope things work out for you.

Yes, you unplug to turn it off. But be sure to unplug first, then remove from the water or it will stop working. To boil, put in water first, then plug in.

There is the wire coming out of the power head and the other end of it has the two prongs that gets plugged into your hose. There is no need for it to be plugged into a standard outlet. Your hose should have a standard plug, that gets plugged into the house's outlet.

I am not familiar with the "kees" sprinkler, I have the "National Walking Sprinkler", and it is not designed to automatically turn off when it does something like drive up a ramp. I set mine to go for hours at a time, and simply have a timer valve on the hose connection at the water supply. These can be purchased at most hardware type stores and are very inexpensive and are all mechanical so they don't need a power supply or batteries.

You can leave it in either the spray or stream mode. It does not automatically switch between the two.

This comes with a solenoid built into the unit. There are two wires that connect to your sprinkler control unit.

Jennifer: I installed this for my aunt in SC. I think your question is about shutting off the flow at the hand held spray head. The answer to that is Yes. The black buttons on the side shuts the flow off to just a trickle that keeps the full supply pressure build up in the hose and hand shower. That is sort of a pause button, so you don't have to turn the water off at the wall. The trickle flow reminds you that it is still on at the wall. This was a good product. It does not come with a hose, but the hoses are sold in the usual big box stores or hardware stores and you can choose the length there. I hope this helps you. DAVE

No, the black piece on the left side pulls down to release water into the hose; then you move upward to shut off. So, I believe if you do not have a hose hooked up to the manual side you leave it up. The right side is control by the dial which can be shut off. I have a hose hooked up on the right side that goes to 3 underground sprinklers and is automatically set by how I set the dial. The other side I have a hose set up that is controlled by manual up or down thing on the left that I use for mostly garden activity.

Mine has never turned on automatically and so far it hasn't turned off automatically either however logically you would turn it off when the water is spent.M
