does the water have to run continuously?

Yes, the water should be running continuously in order to optimize the features of the tub.

I am guessing that it needs to have the water drained. Water can build up due to condensation. See your Operating Manual on how to drain the water.

No, our water has good pressure and steady stream. I never have any problem of water flying anywhere but in the basin. I use this in my office, and it has been working great so far.

Yes. Mine turns off automatically if I have the water running for a long time. I actually like this feature. It does save water.

This question needs to be answered in two parts. The part of the unit that actually removes water from the air does indeed stop running when your set level is reached and starts again when exceeded. However, the fan that drives the air flow itself never stops. I see that as a real knock against this and many other Danby units as it keeps both sound and energy consumption higher than they need to be.

I don't know about continuous use. We had it in for an hour at a time to pump rain water from empty pool And it worked great.

It should not shut off after 5 minutes. It should run continuously until it's very low on water.

You have to go every time you want the water on. You can't set it up for a daily time and it goes off on its own. No.

No , it needs to sit level on the ground , to keep the water from flowing non stop.

There are two settings. interval and continuous. Do you have it on the continuous setting? How long does it run before shutting off? If its on continuous and water remains when isdone running, I would say maybe is not working properly.

Yes it must remain plugged in, otherwise the heating element will cool and not produce steam. You cannot control the amount of steam...as the water runs out, it will stop producing steam. Once the steam is flowing it will not stop unless it runs out of water or turn it off.

Yes its normal. Just let the water run for about 5 mins and it should be good

You can run the unit continuously. Please see the manual for further instructions; http://bit.ly/1dZvqSz.

You turn on the water, and it will mist continuously until you turn the water off. If you added a digital timer, you could do intervals.

No auto shut off but with a full thing of water it could run over a good 10 minutes. You can use it anywhere id say.

Yes...However, it really doesn't use alot of water. Although the faucet is turned on the entire time, the dishwasher only pulls water from it at certain times. So the water is not running into the dishwasher the whole time. ...Hope that helps.

it runs continuously. I found this product to have a life of around 3 months. :)
