FAQs
How do I select a watering program?
Simply turn the rotary dial to one of the 15 numbered notches. Each notch corresponds to a specific preset watering cycle.
How often do I need to change the battery?
A single 9V alkaline battery is designed to power the unit for an entire watering season. It's best to replace it annually, or when the low battery indicator illuminates.
Can I connect this to a hosepipe splitter?
Yes, you can connect the timer to one outlet of a tap splitter like the Claber 91589 Tap connector, which allows you to connect two devices to a single tap.
What is the maximum watering duration?
The watering duration can be set from 1 to 60 minutes, depending on the selected program.
Is the filter easy to clean?
Yes, the stainless steel filter is washable. You can remove it from the timer and rinse it under running water to clear any debris.
What happens if the battery dies mid-cycle?
If the battery dies unexpectedly, the water flow will stop. The low battery indicator is designed to warn you in advance to prevent this.
Can this timer be used for sprinklers?
This timer is primarily designed for drip irrigation systems. While it might operate with very low-pressure sprinklers, its performance is optimized for drip systems with a specified operating pressure range.
Troubleshooting
Timer not turning on
Check that the 9V battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Ensure the battery contacts are clean.
Water not flowing or low flow
Verify the timer is open and the selected program is active. Check the stainless steel filter for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the operating pressure is within the 0.5-10 bar range.
Watering cycle not starting at the set time
Double-check that the rotary dial is securely set to a valid program notch. Ensure the battery is not low; replace if the indicator is active or if it's been a full season.
Water leaks from the connection
Ensure the timer is screwed onto the tap securely. Check the washer inside the tap connector and replace if worn. If using an adapter, ensure it is also properly seated.
