Can this cleaner be set on a timer to run at the same time each day? Or do you manually have to turn it on when you want it to clean? Thanks!

The sharkvac has to be taken out of the water after each use and the filters cleaned. Therefore it is not a vac that you leave in the pool.

You have to manually turn it on. You are instructed to remove it from the pool after each cleaning. I don't see why you'd need to vacuum the pool every day anyway.

No, you have to manually hit the switch. Even if you hook it to a timer, I don't think it would work. Once the cycle is finished, it stays in the on position, and the manual states if you need to run it twice, turn off for 10 seconds to reset it.

There is no timer on the system but if you connected it to a timer I suppose it would work. When the power comes on to the unit it cleans for about 2 hours or so.

Hi Cali, You have to manually turn it on. We have an outlet that is connected to our Pool's Filter Control system that is on a timer which turns off at a certain time and then back on at another time. The SharkVac is a good system.

That's is what I use it for. The timer for the sweep runs for a shorter duration than the filter and can be programmed to run together or at different times.

Yes, we have been running it 24/7 since we purchased it. We have unplugged it once for an afternoon to clean it. We use it in the room where the litter boxes are so it needs to run constantly

Yes it can be set to complete the cycle in a range of hours. Or run continuously, until the filter bag is full. We love our machine. Congratulations on thinking about purchasing another one.

Not really, you select on and the amount of time by pushing it more than once when starting. Push on and push 1-3 more times to select the amount of time you want it to run -same button. Don't think you would be able to set it up with a timer, I could be wrong. It does run for a long time, it holds alot of water.

The timer is automatic. After 2 minutes your brush will just turn itself off. If you want to continue you must turn it back on.

Yes, I do. My Roomba 780 runs at it's schedule time, 10am, then sometimes, I'll run it again in the evening if I have a particular area that needs to be done (I do my master suite, guest suites & upstairs each separately). I don't think, however, that it can be scheduled to run more than once per day.

you can run it manually or auto. i run it auto 24 - 7 . when it detects impurity in air on auto it kicks in a higher speed untill air is clean . running manually , it stays on the speed you have set and as for a timer it doesn't have one. hope this helps.

No I would think you would have to reset timer every time you start something. I reset timer every time I use the one I have. I guess the best way to say it the timer will count down. Then after that the timer will restart its self & count UP. FRANZ

One cannot schedule multiple runs during one day, however it is possible running it manually. Of course, you have to let roomba recharge.

A simple timer will remember to turn it off. Or they sell a 24/7 type of timer that is programable so you can have it automatically turn on and off but if you shower at different times of the day it might not be worth it's cost.

It runs until you turn it off. I leave it on low during the day and turn it off at night. If we are having company I will run it on high for a few hrs before they come then turn it on low. It's very quiet so you don't notice that it's even on. Hope this helps

Hi This is Steve at Aqua Products, While this unit does have a timer - one or two hours it does not have a program built in like some of our more advanced cleaners. Our objective here was to try and keep the price down.

You just choose a frequency (daily, every other day, every third day) and within that part of the dial choose the number of minutes you want to water. For example if you want to water 30 minutes every other day, turn the dial to the 30 within the section of the dial that says "every other day" and it will turn on every other day for 30 minutes. Whatever time it is when you set it is the time it will go on - like if you set it today at 5pm, it will water for 30 minutes at 5 pm every other day, if you set it at 6am, it will run then each time, etc.

The unit could be set to run as you describe. It has the capability of running 3 times daily on each outlet. Also, you can set for every other day operation as you describe say 36 hours. Downside is that if you set for every other day operation, that controls both outlets. Hope this helps.

I have only used mine for several short periods. Time would depend on whether you run it continuously or turn it on and off.

You can't set it to turn on at a certain time, unfortunately. You can set it to run for a specified amount of time and then it will shut itself off.
