do you have to run water continuously?

Once the pool part fills, sometimes we shut it off and my son just plays in the water, but the water gun doesn't work without the water running and the slide can start to dry up. There is water that runs at the top of the slide to keep the slide wet while the water is running. We have separate play water guns too though, so if they are squirting those around on it, it's still fine to slide down.

Only if you want the water to come out of the tubing continuously. Other than that you can just fill it with water and be done.

Yes, the water and the pump run the entire time. The water keeps the slide wet for the little ones to slide down.

No, not really...in fact the water was too cold to run all the time...the kids wanted it to be warmed by the sun...as long as the kids were wet, or there suits were wet, the water can be turned off!!

The bottom portion of the slide needs to fill to a point that they land in water in the bottom. After that you can turn the hose off. The slide will stay slippery as long as they continually use it but if it gets dry you'll want to re-wet if with the hose.

Yes but.....I put a sump pump in the corner of the pool part and it connects to a hose which recycles the water.

We don't. Sometimes we leave it on to fill up the big pool area and then shut it off. We have a big bucket of water and I usually throw some on the slide if my 4 year old wants to go down or I turn the water back on. Hope that helps. We love this water slide and can't wait to use it again this summer!

Yes. You attach a garden hose to run the sprinklers. I read a review that said they put a small pump in the pool and recycled the water. Obviously, using a GFI.

Yes. But, you can turn it down till you just have enough water coming out for the slide or you can turn the water off but the slide will dry up. I will be honest, it will run up your water bill like you watered your grass all season, which I didn't so I consider it a trade off. This is fun, basically easy and the kids just love it. Money well spent in my opinion....even with the extra in the water bill.

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.

It will run for a while after using it, as it is in fact refilling the holding tank. It should stop after a while though. Depends on how much water you used, but it does seem to take a while to refill.

No it does not need to be running. Simply connect the can to the inlet and spray. The water should come out of the outlet. That is all.

yes, it is for continuous run. I have had my running continuously since about 2005!

I run it 24/7. You pretty much have to if you want the water to stay clean but my electric bill only goes up about 10 dollars a month

Mine runs continuously. At least until the water runs out. I turn it on when I go to bed and many many times it is still running when I wake up. I also carry it to my office and turn it on around 8 a.m. and turn it off at 5:00 p.m. Check your water level first and if you are filling it to the line and it is still shutting off I would contact the seller. I really love mine!! I have had it several months. Hope this helps.

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.

There is a knob that u set whether u want it to run continuously or have it shut off! I only keep it on continuous because if ur basement holds a lot of water, you'll need to run it continuously until it drys out! Hope this helps alittle!! This work great!! Fills up fast!! Does a great job!!

No. My unit runs until I turn it off. If you are using the humidity setting, obviously you will need to add more water. I suggest you contact Sharp about this issue.

No you don't have to run it all the time, but I would recommend buying a cover for it and running the pump/filter at least 6 to 8 hours for best results. Remember to chlorinate.

You can add a water drip line combined with daily timer. A little bit of effort but you will be good to go for a long long vacation.

No because this model has a pressure switch so it turns off once the tap or valve is closed. I run mine for a washing machine and it runs fine and turns off when needed.

No. This diffuser needs water and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Runs for a few hours. Shuts itself off when water drops to a certain level.

Yes, in the sense that one can set it to run (in one hour increments only) from 1 to 12 hrs or "C" which means run continuously until it runs out of water.

As two other answers stated, you only need to keep the hose attached if you want to run the waterfall, otherwise no.
