Is it still full with water? If so, add some vinegar to the bottle, that should help rid of the hardness of the water that is clogging the sensor.

They Sanyo manual shows "Add Water Lamp (Red) Turns on when the water needs to be replenished. Turns on when the device needs to be cleaned."It probably shows red because there is a buildup of limescale "In the event of limescale build up on the Sterile-Electrolytic Mist Generator, clean with white vinegar to remove the limescale. Do not use water as this may cause the unit to malfunction."Download the Sanyo pdf instruction manual to see the drawing of the unit. White distilled vinegar on a cotton bud will clean the metal generator - just as it will clean lime scale from taps, kettles, coffeemakers & irons!

I have the same problem -but have very acid water, so it is not a problem of lime scale for me. Just more of the crappy engineering on this product. With NO useful customer support. I am now wary of anything produced by this corporation!

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

I didn't have any problem with the light but the water has to have a lot of pressure running out for the light to even come on. Over time it takes even more pressure to activate the light.

In the settings menu there is a "Backlight shut off" option where you can adjust it to any where from 1 minute to "Never."

There's a dial you can turn it to whichever length you want from 30sec to 10min I think. Also another dial for sensitivity of light for how bright the around it to trigger the motion. If there's enough light motion will not turn your light on

hold the timer button and the power button down until the filter reset light flashes. this will clear/reset the filter light.

Only by timer. But you don't want it on for more than an hour or two as the water dries out

You probably have a bush or something moving in the wind if the light keeps going on. But if the light is blinking and not staying on for 5 minutes at a time, suggest you set it to another interval for a while then back to 5. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

If you want to shut off recommend just buying a simple water timer you can get a any home improvement store. You can have it run for hours and it shuts off automatically. Works like a charm for me.

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.

There are 2 settings. It is on until it runs out of water constantly. Or it is on for 30 seconds and then off for 30 seconds until it is out of water.

I found the water was leaking into the toilet because I was not turning the dial all the way to off. Turn until you hear the last click on "off". That solved my problem

I contacted Pur & they told me that after the light turns red (about 30 days) to watch the water flow from the filter & change filter when it starts to be a small stream. If your light truly IS NOT WORKING then contact Pur via their web site since this seems like a manufacturing problem.

Starts blinking when water level is low, but does not shut off automatically. What I don

Leave light turned off with the switch for 5 minutes. Turn back on and set to Automatic as normal. Blue light will come on and flash about every 30 seconds or so. When it gets dark, the Blue light will turn to Green, light should then turn on for about 45seconds or so, then go out if nothing is telling it to stay on. Any sort of movement will turn it on or keep it on.I had a similar problem with mine today. They would not turn off. Found out that some birthday balloons in front yard were moving just enough to keep the motion sensor tripped to on.Good LuckGary

the power is turned off by a button on the box. there is also a thingy on the shower head that you push to just stop the flow

The best way to keep the light from coming during daylight hours is to install an electric timer in line before the sensor. You can set the timer for the hours that you want the light to operate as the season change you can reset the timer accordingly.
