Can the heat feature be turned off so you can get a cold soak if you need it?

Yes, the heat feature can be turned off and if you just pour cold water into the tub it will not heat the water even if you did turn on the heat feature

The foot spa itself doesn't heat up the water, it just maintains the heat for about 20-30 minutes. If you want hot water you need to heat up water and then pour it in. So if you want cold water you could just fill it up with cold water instead of hot water.

From my experience the heating element doesn't work very well. But yes you can run the waterfall without the heat.
1792047
Yes, but as bad as the heater works, you can't really tell if the heater is doing anything or not.

The heat is automatic, but if you put cold water in it, the heater is not strong enough to heat up the water. Even if you put warm water in it, the heater only keeps the water warm for about 20 minutes and then it begins to turn cold. So I would say that you can just put the cold water in it and the heater is not strong enough to actually heat up the water.

In my experience, (I tried both warm water, then hot) the heat element does not work at all.

The heat doesn't really heat the water but keeps it warm a little longer. We put in 1/2 gallon of really hot water straight from our tap and it lasts about 15-20 min. I doubt you'd notice the heat feature at all with cold water. I think one of the buttons controls the heat but really you'd have to buy one of the really, really expensive models to actually get created heat. We like the rest of it though.

Unfortunately no, but you can just as easily put cold water in it and run it without worrying that its gonna heat up. The heating thing only keeps hot water warm for a short period because its not meant to actually heat up the water.

No you have to unplug it to shut it off. However, it is designed to provide low heat. This is the second one I have owned.I wore the other one out. Usually we do not get temperatures below low to mid 20's and not many of them.

Yep, the heat may be shut off (via a switch in the back) thereby just giving room-temp water. The cold water has a stat / adjustment nob. I've simply left it at the factory setting...cold but not too cold for me...

HiYou can :-). I use both features or just one of them. So yes you can just turn the heat on and not use the massage feature :-)

Yes, both the hot and cold side have a switch in the back to turn them off.

Most heating pads have the auto shut-off. But, whether it's an auto shut-off or you shut it off, the control element should go cold. The one in this extra large heating pad, not king size, stays warm even when turned off. Therefore, you cannot leave it plugged in, it has to be unplugged for the control element to cool down. That's a step backward in technology!

No problem. Just do not allow the water to boil off completely. I use a programable thermostat to shut the heater off or hold at a desired temperature.

That's the one drawback to this device. There is no switch to select heat or cold. The temperature probe has to actually be colder then the cooling range, then it will automatically switch to heating. Touch an ice cube to the sensor probe to lower the temp. Dan

Pretty sure there is a standby mode (warm) but I believe it's recommended to turn it off if you are not going to use it for an extended length of time.

We never use it and you can lock it so it can't be dispensed accidentally. I don't recall whether there was a way to stop it from heating, but I believe there was.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time. It takes too long to warm up otherwise. I might shut it off during the summer if I don't need it as much.

No, there is auto shutoff or pressure activation. You need to remember to shut off and unplug all on your own, which is kind of a pain. That being said though, it heats up very fast and feels great on a cold day.

you can turn off the hot water, dont know about the cold water...............

On the lower right hand back corner there is an on/off switch that I use when I'm not needing hot water. You can also scroll through on the menu at " set time" and the "off" option will come up.

No for the fan alone. But it does have options for System: Cool, Heat, Em(ergency) Heat, Auto and Off. So if you don't want the fan to run, you'll need to turn the system off.

Good question. In short, no. I tried that on a recent trip (turned the temp setting all the way down) and while you can't feel the heat, the room still got toasty so I think even on the lowest setting it is still warming. There is not "heat off" feature. It would also make a relatively lousy fan as it does not blow are quickly (it isn't designed to).

Yes, there are 2 switches on the side of that allows you to turn off the hot and the cold (should you go away for a period of time).
