Can it be left running continuously for days without damage?

shouldn t be a problem as long as its pumping something ..... don t run it dry

We've left it running for 48 hours during some pretty bad storms and it was fine. I don't know if I'd want to try to empty a 20,000 gallon pool... :)

Yes . I let my pump run for about three days with no problems. I used it to remove water from my swimming pool cover .

I wouldn't think so. I've ordered 2 of these - the first one was broken on arrival and the second one broke during the second use - the place where you screw on the hose just broke off in my hand.

I have used it for continuous use for a couple of hours without issue. Don't see why it couldn't go longer

I don't know. I've not had any problems with mine. I keep it running continuously.

I have operated it for a week or two continuously in a hotel room with no problems, if you were outside I assume you would be running from a generator. If so just turn the power off. The box is well insulated so I doubt you would have a problem

Yes. I know it will run all day long. Not sure about much after that as I always charged after each use.

I guess you could. Don't know if you should let it go for 24 hours. I've never used mine for more than 9 hours and have found that 8 1/2 hours is best.

I leave mine on for days or weeks at a time - depending on the weather and have had no problems

I dont think it will damage. I have been using it for a while and have had no issues. Only thing, the small fan on the unit is loud and a bit annoying

I've run my previous one for twelve hours or longer. However, I burnt it out when I let it run dry overnight. I'm sure it would have continued to run, had there been water to pump. The unit is so good, for so little money, I bought another.

yes you can--I have been running mine 24/7 for almost 2 years now. All you have to watch for are power outages and power flickers, it shuts down right away.

No, I don't believe so. Just the other morning I forgot to turn it off after I awoke, and it kept running, even tho' out of water. But it doesn't seem to have had any negative effect. It's still working fine.

I keep mine indoor and have had it for about 5 months without a problem. I do have to water every other day.

I run mine every morning for 3 minutes. Have so for a year. 30 minutes is a long time. I think anything would overheat when subjected to that interval. If whatever you have in there isn't clean in 3 or 4 minutes, it's not going to happen.

I would not put it permanently. We left ours outside over the winter and some to the components inside froze and no longer work. But leaving it out all season should be fine.

I has a timer with a "stay on" option I suppose you could put it on "stay on" and use a wall timer. This thing is very heavy duty. I doubt seriously you'll want to run it 4 hours every day.

I can't answer this one from experience, as mine has not been rained on, and I can't seem to find the manufacturer's site anymore (it was up and running when I purchased mine). I wouldn't leave it out indefinitely--sun and weather will eventually destroy nearly any plastic material. I wouldn't worry about rain, though.

It is set up on a timer. I don't think it would run for an extended period of time.
