FAQs
How do I set the watering schedule?
Refer to the product manual or the programming interface on the timer itself to set the desired frequency and duration for each of the two independent valves.
What type of batteries does it use and how long do they last?
It uses two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries, which can power the timer for up to six months under normal usage.
Can I use this timer with a pressure washer hose?
This timer is designed for standard garden hoses and watering systems operating within 0-8 bar pressure. It may not be suitable for high-pressure applications like pressure washers.
Is the timer waterproof?
Yes, the timer features a premium ABS shell that is waterproof, anti-UV, and anti-drop, making it suitable for outdoor use.
How do I clean the filter?
The integrated stainless steel filter can be removed, rinsed under running water, and then reinserted into the timer.
What if I forget to change the batteries?
The timer requires sufficient battery power for proper operation. If the batteries are depleted, the watering schedule will not run. It is recommended to replace them before the six-month mark or when performance issues are noticed.
Can I connect more than two hoses?
No, this timer is equipped with two independent valves, allowing control for a maximum of two hoses at any given time.
Troubleshooting
Timer does not turn on or respond.
Check that the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Ensure the battery compartment is closed securely.
Water is not dispensing from the hose.
Verify that the timer is properly screwed onto the tap and that the hose connections are secure. Ensure the programmed schedule is active and that the valves are open in the settings. Check for any blockages in the hose or at the tap.
Watering schedule is not running as programmed.
Re-check the programmed frequency and duration settings for both valves. Confirm that the batteries are not low. Ensure the timer is not in a manual off state.
Leaking from connections.
Ensure all connections (tap to timer, timer to hose) are tightened securely. Inspect rubber washers for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
