Are the connections 1/2" or 3/4". Also, how long does the water stay on, will it stay on for extended washing, around 5-7 minutes or does it shut off every 5 seconds like those annoying public ones? Maybe it's adjustable? Is it hard to activate it and...

the water stays on as long as something is in front of sensor, and if im cleaning the mirror i sometimes make faucet turn on from moving in front so they are easy to activate-these are installed at a church/daycare and have no issues the connections are like a typical faucet

Jennifer: I installed this for my aunt in SC. I think your question is about shutting off the flow at the hand held spray head. The answer to that is Yes. The black buttons on the side shuts the flow off to just a trickle that keeps the full supply pressure build up in the hose and hand shower. That is sort of a pause button, so you don't have to turn the water off at the wall. The trickle flow reminds you that it is still on at the wall. This was a good product. It does not come with a hose, but the hoses are sold in the usual big box stores or hardware stores and you can choose the length there. I hope this helps you.

Here is you answer - 4 years later.Yes - at 1/2" it automatically goes on. When the water falls below 1/2", it shuts off.

It is 1/4. My original sweep was 1/2 also but I could not find one anywhere. This one works fine and does not allow water out but seems to open and close easier than with the 1/2 I used to have. I put it on the side of my shower and on the bottom I put http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E4BI9NG/ref=pd_aw_fbt__hi_img_2?refRID=1ESB26FJCX02B8YN13S9 it had a 1/2 sweep

The package I received has an adapter, a t-connector, and two hoses that screw right up to your existing shutoff valve. Be sure to find the little plastic white washer that fits inside the female end that screws onto the shutoff valve. For some reason it was in a separate package. Anyway, connections can be installed with a little more than hand tightening due to the good seals from the built in gaskets in the rest of the hardware and included filter. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes for install.

It automatically shutoff water flow when temperature goes up. The annoying part is it take more than 5 minutes to cool off and resume water flow.

It works. I have a tub/shower combo at home and it works perfectly. I've been using this for over 6 months. I would say it's about 5'-10" long. You can stand outside the tub during shower time and you won't get wet.

It is larger than a standard unit, so it hangs down ~2" lower and is somewhat wider, as well. My install was a swap, so I had power and dishwasher plumbing in place. Check the details about the dishwasher connection. There were extra parts when I got done, I thought they were related to dishwasher connection.

The hand held shower comes with a 59-60 inch hose to connect to the pipe nipple of your shower. It replaces a stationary shower head, which is the reason I bought mine. I believe it comes with instructions. If I didn't answer your question well enough, go to a home improvement store and ask someone in the plumbing department.

It stays on until you turn it off....but be careful not to let the water run out.

Mine is a standard tap. Don't know if that means 1/2 or 3/4. I haven't had trouble yet, but know that the connections are all plastic and probably won't last. Don't leave it outside in the winter, be careful with the connections and maybe it will work for a while. I've kept my regular hose on "standby" just in case.

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.

There are two settings, what I'll call continuous streaming, and periodic streaming (i.e., on for a minute, off for x number of minutes (I forget the actual times)). In both cases though, it is just on until the water reservoir gets to a certain low point and then it shuts off automatically -- there is no timer. In continuous streaming, it will last for about 3 hours or so.

in short- yes, the connectors are 3/8" push-in hose and so you are making some serious drops in water flow from 1/2" line. I placed this in my RV and gave it a small dedicated faucet of it's own which works really nice. This basically extends the life of the filter to serious drinking/coffee, but allows my std faucet to handle the cleaning chores. I highly recommend a separate faucet even though they say it can be used with exiting faucet. If you have a sprayer on your current faucet you will be very hard pressed to get it to work with the lower water flow rate. I bought this faucet: http://www.amazon.com/Filter-Purifier-Faucet-European-Brushed/dp/B000KBD2KY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381002634&sr=1-3-fkmr0&keywords=purified+water+faucet+stainless or something similar if you can. Because it quick connect fittings, this makes it easy to go from the filter to the 2nd faucet. If you need further info on setting this up- let me know

The issue is the timer. You will have a lot of water left after the timer goes off but just push it again, several times until it's all used up. When it's done there is about 1/8 inch or so at the bottom. I wasn't too happy with this design myself. Taught me a lesson about trying to save money by buying a cheaper diffuser. I keep it in the guest bathroom as it doesn't put out enough for a room any bigger than a closet.

Can use in 24" sink. Cannot connect to a washing machine. The connection in made with 1/2" male connection also called a 1/2" nipple.
