FAQs
How many watering schedules can I set up?
You can create and manage up to three individual and independent watering schedules.
What type of batteries does it use?
The product typically uses AA batteries, but check the product manual for the exact specification.
Can I connect this to a drip irrigation system?
While designed for sprinkler systems, it can be used with drip systems if adapted correctly and within the pressure limits. It connects directly to the tap, so an adapter may be needed for drip lines.

The operating unit is weatherproof and can be removed. However, it should be protected from prolonged submersion or harsh weather when possible.
What is the maximum water pressure it can handle?
The maximum water pressure recommended for this unit is 12 bar.
Can I use it with a rain sensor?
Yes, the Gardena Select Irrigation Control is compatible with the Gardena Soil Moisture Sensor for more efficient watering.
How do I reset the device to factory settings?
Refer to the product manual for specific instructions on resetting the device, as this process can vary.
Troubleshooting
Water not flowing
Check if batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient power. Ensure the tap is fully open and the control unit is properly connected. Verify that a watering schedule is active and not currently paused.
Unit not responding to buttons
Try removing and reinserting the batteries. Ensure the control unit is securely attached to its base if it has been removed. Clean the buttons if they appear to be obstructed.
Watering starts at the wrong time
Verify the current time and date settings on the control unit. Ensure the programmed start times for your schedules are correct and not conflicting.
Inconsistent watering duration
Confirm the programmed watering duration for the active schedule. Check for any blockages in the connected hose or sprinkler system.
