FAQs

How do I set the watering duration?

Turn the main dial to select the desired watering duration from 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes. The selected duration will be active for each scheduled watering cycle.

Can I water my garden manually?

Yes, press the 'Water Now' button. You can choose to water for 10, 30, or 60 minutes by pressing the button repeatedly. The controller will then return to its scheduled program.

What type of batteries does it use?

The Hozelock Sensor Controller Plus requires 2 x AA batteries. These are not supplied with the product and must be purchased separately.

How often do I need to replace the batteries?

Battery life depends on usage frequency and duration. The battery status LED will indicate when batteries are low. It is recommended to replace them when the LED flashes.

Does this controller work with different tap sizes?

Yes, it comes with adaptors for 21mm (1/2in BSP), 26.5mm (3/4in BSP), and 33.3mm (1in BSP) connections, ensuring compatibility with most standard garden taps.

Will it water if the battery is critically low?

The controller has a safety mechanism that detects low battery levels. If the battery is too low to reliably complete a watering cycle, it will prevent watering to avoid interrupting a schedule midway.

Troubleshooting

Controller does not turn on.

Ensure 2 x AA batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. Check that the tap is fully open.

Watering schedule is not activating.

Verify battery levels. Ensure the current time aligns with the programmed sunrise/sunset cycle. Check for any obstructions in the water flow or connection.

Leaking from the tap connection.

Ensure the controller is screwed on tightly to the tap. Check the tap washer and the threads for any damage or debris.

Water flow is weak.

Check that the tap is fully open. Inspect the hose and controller for any blockages or kinks.
