Often when I am using this faucet it turns off by itself. Delta says there is a 4 minute automatic shut off. Do you experience this to be the case?

Yes. Mine turns off automatically if I have the water running for a long time. I actually like this feature. It does save water.
1329712
Not so. I just ran the water for over 4 minutes. The faucet did NOT shut off.
1329713
I do not have that challenge. I sometimes touch it by accident when rinsing items & it shuts off. Other then that I have no problems. I am thinking that I should have purchased the unit with motion sensing that I have seen on some cooking shows.

Yes, after 4 minutes the faucet will shut off. However, sometimes the battery pack will cause random starts and stops. I find wiggling the battery pack and repositioning the batteries usually fixes it.
1329715
Yes. This is a safety feature for the faucet and it also will save batteries. If there is a special way to lock it on I don't know of it yet but that doesn't mean it's not there.
1329716
Yes, we do. Good thing, too, because it helps save water and saving both $ and the environment is important to us.

There is an auto shut off but we've noticed sometimes the touch won't work and it will turn on or off by itself

If I've had it on for 4 minutes it does shut off, otherwise I have no problems with that happening.

no,never happened but you might want to reposition where your sensor is.Remember reading that your problem might happen if it's too close to certain objects.

It's very expensive and only lasted me a year and a half at the most. I believe it has auto shut off, but it will remain in for hours before shutting off. I'm guessing the few times I left it on is the reason why it no longer works.

Unfortunately, no. I have accidentally left mine on for long periods of time and luckily have had no steam/burning/problems; but I sure do wish there was an auto shut-off for safety!

There is not an automatic shut-off on this unit. I have used multiple penguins for several years and have not encountered that problem. Sounds like a short or some sort of internal problem, not likely something you can do anything about yourself. If it were me, I would return the faulty unit and ask for a replacement.

The fitting has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is internal. I believe it is the diagram which will not let the pump shut off once it is activated. Once the water is drained and the float lowers/returns to the normal "off" position, the water never turns off.

You can leave it turned on. I really liked the faucet - until we couldn't turn it off one day. After about two years of use it simply did not turn off again. I see there have been other instances of this happening with other purchasers. It may have something to do with what type of water you use, or it may just self-destruct no matter what, so beware.

It has an automatic shut off, though it does not take 4 hours for it to shut off. I believe mine shuts off after 2 hours.

No automatic time shut off. Unit starts and stops by means of the water flow.

does your unit have a auto shutoff valve on it? if so I will check those connections or you may have a bad valve
251547
No there's no auto shutoff. Turning off the flow of water shuts the heat off. I put a valve in-line. Love this unit when there's no wind. The heat (burners) automatically shut off with the slightest breeze and render the unit useless.

As long as I leave my faucet dripping, I've never disconnected mine. But I'm talking the occasional freeze. If you are experiencing them frequently I think the shorter life span wouldn't be worth it.

Well then, mine probably does have the automatic shut off too. I don't think I have ever left it for 30 minutes and my brush didn't come with any written instructions or a manual. I do wish Conair had more info on the product and how to use it.

It turns off automatically. I turn it in just before I go to bed and fall asleep to the atom and it goes off by itself when the water is evaporated.

Mine does not shut off either even when the water is too hot. I would return it but I had discarded the box already.

Contact Delta direct. There is a warranty on the faucet. I did this with another company faucet online and was sent a replacement part free of charge.

The shut off is supposed to be automatic. We see some evaporation but not a lot. I tested our water and it was 40 degrees. We also add clean water each day.

It has graduations on the water canister that tell you how much time that water will last. So you can set the automatic shut off appropriately. I hope that helps. I'm not sure if it would turn off if the water was gone.
