FAQs
Can I use this with any brand of hose?
The Gardena 4-way Watering Selector is designed to work with Original GARDENA System connectors. While some other systems may appear similar, using non-GARDENA accessories may result in leaks or improper fit.
How do I control the water flow for each outlet?
Each of the four outlets has a separate regulator knob. Turn the knob clockwise to reduce or shut off water flow, and counter-clockwise to increase it.
Can I connect timers or computers to all four outlets?
You can connect GARDENA Water Computers or Water Timers to two of the outlets simultaneously. The other two outlets can be used for direct hose connections or other accessories.
What tap sizes is this compatible with?
It is suitable for water taps with 33.3 mm (G 1") thread and taps with 26.5 mm (G 3/4") thread.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use year-round?
The product is designed for outdoor garden use. However, to prevent frost damage, it should be disconnected and stored indoors in freezing temperatures.
How can I expand my watering system with this device?
This device allows you to connect multiple watering circuits from one tap. You can also convert it to the GARDENA "Profi" Maxi-Flo System for even higher flow rates if needed.
Troubleshooting
No water flow from any outlet
Check that the tap is fully open and that the distributor is securely screwed onto the tap. Ensure the individual outlet regulators are open.
Low water pressure from one or more outlets
Partially close the regulators on other outlets to increase pressure to the desired one. Check for blockages in the hose or accessory connected to the low-pressure outlet.
Water leaking from the tap connection
Ensure the distributor is screwed on tightly. Check the tap's thread and the distributor's internal seal for damage or debris.
Water leaking from an outlet connection
Check that the GARDENA System accessory is properly connected and secured to the outlet. Inspect the accessory's connection for damage.
