How long does one tank last if it were run intermittently say once every 10 minutes for a minute each time? I'm thinking of putting it on a billboard

It really depends on the length of the burst that you use. We tend to use a two or three second burst every five minutes, and the tank lasts a LONG time. We have been running it for several hours every other weekend for the past several months, and it's just now below half full...

I have used mine with the timer set at 15sec every 5 to 10 min for 4 to 6 hours at a time and have done maybe a dozen parties and I have used a gallon and a half total.... One tanks lasts a lot longer than I ever expected.

If you ran it every 10 minutes for 10-20 seconds each all day, I would guess you would have to fill it every day. It does have some LED's that light up the tank that you may not like on a sign. I would think it is not that hard to disconnect them if it took away from your sign. I would not cover it to block the light however because it requires air to produce fog and it does get kinda warm. It does work very well and I do recommend it.

It'll go a long ways, hard to determine or put a time on it, but doing it in that interval should last u a while

I use mine for Halloween in my front yard and, after hours of more use than you mention here, I still have at least a half tank left. This system is fairly frugal in its use of fog-juice.

I have 3 of these. You would not be able to run it constantly.... the motor would burn out. I have filled the tank and set it to go off every 5 min for 20 seconds and it lasted for two hours. I'm sure you could rig it to pump from a larger reservoir if you wanted too.

You have to buy your little tank separate and it last as long as it's in use.cant give an accurate time on the tank

I would say a month. We have it at a rental property and it is used almost daily and the tank lasted a month :)

I really have not timed usage. With a full tank, it has lasted 4-5 sprayings There seems to be plenty. I have not changed the batteries yet after 8 to 10 sprayings.

About a cup maybe a little more, on a Full tank it's about 20 to 30 min of running time which is very good.

I've run my previous one for twelve hours or longer. However, I burnt it out when I let it run dry overnight. I'm sure it would have continued to run, had there been water to pump. The unit is so good, for so little money, I bought another.

It stays on for up to 4 hrs, depending on your selection, and will pour during those hrs. If you need it after that, either you'll have to push the start button again, or take the tank out.

If the heater ran constantly, it would use 4.2 pounds every 3.5 hours. So if you actually had 100 pounds it would have a total run time of about 83 hours. But most 100 pound tanks are filled to 80% to allow for expansion, so you probably would have closer to 67 to 70 hours depending how full the tank is really filled.

It's a simple refil. You lift the tank upward, flip it over and unscrew the stop plug. It's nothing to concern yourself with. The tank is big enough to run on max for approximately 12-14 hours or more.

The instructions specify that one fill of the plastic cup (1/3 cup water) will last for 1 cycle on the timer thing (where the on and off button is located). If you choose the 9 hr cycle (the very last cycle located all the way on the right side of the on and off switch) if will run all night.

I've never run it long enough to definitively calculate its duration. I also moved the tank when I needed it for my grill. However I can attest that it will burn for many evenings.

I ran it a good three hours+ Halloween on one tank with some left over. But it will depend a lot on how much smoke you set it to blow. Mine did not come with a timer, but you can find one on Amazon that works fine.

Usually a tank will last 8 hrs if you leave it at medium heat to low. Depending in the space required to heat. So if you the calculations. 20 min X 3 = 60 min 3X8=24. So about 24 times give or take a few.

Yes but not continuous, tank too small. Lots of stop and go waiting for the tank to catch up - ok you you have the time.

I got about 2 hours out them running constantly on high. I bought the hose adapter to hook up to a large tank. Not as portable with that, but it will last pretty much forever and you can always use the smaller tanks if you need to take it somewhere.

I love the tank also, I have had it for about 8 months. I use an inexpensive digital GE timer I picked up at Walmart. I am not sure of the rating. But have had no issues at all with this timer or the tank.
