Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Eve Aqua is straightforward. Attach the unit directly to your outdoor faucet and connect your hose system to the threaded outlet. Because it is HomeKit-enabled, you can add it to your home configuration by scanning the provided code through the Apple Home app or the Eve app. No cloud registration is necessary, ensuring your setup remains private. To maintain the device, ensure it is tightened securely to prevent leaks. Crucially, as the temperature approaches freezing, you must disconnect the Eve Aqua from the faucet and drain any remaining water, then store it in a temperature-controlled environment to protect the internal valve mechanism.
