Twice a week.

For those with lights, yes.  I have a number of non-lighted units which 
have to be opened, and these are usually checked when the light goes on in 
the next room.  With the uprights you can "get away" w/o filling for a few 
days after the light goes on, so a Mon/Thu or Tues/Fri schedule never lets 
them get bone dry. Yes, I have some "smart bar" units, and this schedule 
has been verified by them.

Is that like a fire sprinkler??
