Didn't realize that it was a "running faucet" issue. Here's an easy solution:<BR/><BR/>Gardena 31169-4 Water Timer<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004SDX9/104-3473019-7780731?v=glance&n=228013<BR/><BR/>It's like an egg timer with a valve in it. Put it on the faucet that supplies the pipet washer. When you want to run the pipet washer crank the dial on this timer to the number of minutes you need and the water will shut off when time elapses. I use one of these on my outdoor sprinkler. You can also get a kind that has an electronic clock that can be programmed. You could set the pipet washer to automatically run from 5:00 to 5:30 pm every day (just like some people water their lawns on a regular schedule.) You can generally find these at the local garden center.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18251921.post-1143933163993475252006-04-01T18:12:00.000-05:002006-04-01T18:12:00.000-05:00Update - R says this is indeed possible, piece of ...Update - R says this is indeed possible, piece of cake. Solenoid valve, timer.

I wonder if there's a way to have an electric shutoff valve installed ... I'll bet there is. I'll ask my husband.

I have on one the exhaust fan in my bathroom. Or if the cleaner is supposed to be on from 9-5 or some other regular time, get one of those plug-in lamp timers and set it accordingly. We have one of these on our vaccuum air supply compressor at work. You can get either of these at the hardware store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
