How long can this system be left unattended (ok to go on 1 week vacation) ?

The water level drops everyday depending how hot it is 3 days max without topping off.Call a friend to add water

in a perfect situation the system should be able to survive a week, factors to take in account are, how big are the root system and is you water temp regulated. This system doesn't have a chillier and if the water temp gets warm you roots will rot. If your root system isn't big enough to handle the drop in water level your plants will die.

I wouldnt do that. The ph will change within 2 days. Ive had plants die because i left them unattended for days. This is typical for all hydro setups

If your early in your grow but later in the grow you need to change or add water and nutes every 2 to 3 days hope this helps

As with any system like this you should change the water out every week or so.

The problem with leaving for a week will be that you are going to loose some water to evaporation and to plant uptake. The other problem i see with that is that PH will be out of whack. You should check PH and water level daily. if you are not worried about your PH, then you should be OK. The water sitaution loss will depend on a number of things, like, plant size, humidity, temp., etc. Hope this helps. and as you can tell from others answers, Hydro is not a system that you set up and it does the rest. If you are trying to do something like that your best best is soil/ soiless mixes.

Between 6 and 8 hours active use - system is pretty good about turning itself off when not in use, and instant on works pretty well. So it is enough for most plane rides but not enough for all day and evening,

One week if you are just going in a short vacation other wise few times a week

Without much hard drive activity...around 2 hours. With activity, maybe 1 hour 20 mins.

I have not run it all the way down, but I would expect 6-8 hours of use....several weeks in standby.

The System has a built in 72 hour lithium battery backup. Of course you can always plug into a UPS as well.

Personally, I've only run the unit for 24 hours straight. I cannot comment on 'several days' but I believe that it should also be fine. Also, you should note that the settings can be configured for it to turn itself on and off AUTOMATICALLY. This means that, there is no need for the unit to run CONTINUOUSLY, for several days.

I have not really taken note but it could be anywhere from 3-5 hrs. Besides it conserves energy if you're not using it it first goes into the sleep mode & later turns itself off. It's such a nice tablet PC that I've bought a total of 7 for sale/gift.I also buy fix & sell PCS.

Depends what you're doing. Just browsing the internet and watching videos while at a balanced setting, you're good for about 5-6 hours. If you're doing something that requires significantly more power output, you're lookin' at about less than two hours. Also, it heats up very hot, very fast.

I wouldn't leave it on for 6 days unless you have a real problem with oder. If you have a timer, you may think about letting it run for 10 or 12 hours. This unit is real strong.

No, I normally only turned the unit on while at work, approximately 8 hours. I did leave it on for about 12 hours once. I only had the unit around a week before it malfunctioned.

Thanks, I decided to have them just unplug it, as they only need to back it up occasionally - there is little new data from week to week.By the way, I routinely set machines to boot only from the floppy or hard disk, never from USB or CD for better security. In the unlikely event that they had to rebuild it could be dealt with at the time. In the case of this machine, it's so old they'd just replace it if it ever came to having to rebuild it. By the time a PC is 6 years old I'm holding my breath anyway.

I believe if is plugged into a battery port that works without a key then it would eat up your battery. But 12 hours would make everything KOOL

I believe you can. We are out of state at the moment and will be home in 3 days. I will check the unit for sure when we arrive home and then let you know. I am almost positive you can but don't want to give you the wrong information.

Depends how it is used. I recommend to configure the off option, so when the kids leaves it, it turns off by itself automatically after 1 minute. In my experience it not that bad and you can always use rechargeable batteries

I know that we have left ours on for at the most three days straight with no issues. But I'm unsure what the manufacturer would recommend as normal use, my suggestion is that you check with Econo-Heat on this question.

I left mine for more than a week and there was no problem. Just continued to use it as always.
