Surrounding it are clear tubes connected to a water source (glass of water) and several potted plants with drippers inserted into their soil. This image illustrates the main components and how they connect.

The control unit features a 2.46" x 2.26" large screen for easy viewing of settings and current status.

An overlay shows a table detailing custom watering schedules, including clock format (24-hour/military time), first watering time, watering duration (10-50 seconds, 1-30 minutes), and interval (1-12 hours, 1-7 days).

Setup Instructions

1. Prepare the Tubing: Cut the 33-foot tubing into appropriate lengths for each plant, considering the distance from the control unit and between plants.
2. Connect the Filter: Attach the filter to one end of the tubing. This end will be placed in your water reservoir.
3. Install Anti-Siphon Component: The anti-siphon component should be installed at the water outlet of the control unit. Ensure the watering system and anti-siphon accessory are positioned above the water surface in your reservoir to prevent continuous siphoning.
4. Assemble the Drip System: Use the T-joints to create branches in the tubing for each plant. Connect a dropper (water spike) to the end of each branch.
5. Position Drippers: Insert the droppers into the soil of each potted plant. Ensure they are securely placed near the plant's base.
6. Place Water Reservoir: Position a water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or large container) near your plants. Place the filtered end of the tubing into the reservoir.
7. Connect Power: Connect the Type-C cable to the control unit for power. The unit contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.

A crucial detail highlighted is the anti-siphon component, which must be installed at the water outlet and positioned above the water surface to prevent unintended continuous flow.

Operating Instructions

Setting the Clock

1. Press the SET CLOCK button.
2. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the hour and minute.
3. Press OK to confirm.

Timed Automatic Watering Mode

This mode allows you to set a specific watering schedule based on time and frequency.

1. Press the SET TIME button to enter programming mode.
2. Set First Watering Time: Use + and - to set the desired start time for watering (e.g., 13:00). Press OK.
3. Set Watering Duration: Use + and - to set how many minutes the system will water (e.g., 05 minutes). Press OK.
4. Set Watering Interval: Use + and - to set the frequency (e.g., 1 day). This determines how often the cycle repeats. Press OK.
5. Ensure the system is set to ON using the ON/OFF button.

An accompanying graphic illustrates a watering schedule over several days, showing consistent watering times and durations (e.g., 11:00 am / 10 min / 1.06 gal) for each day.

Smart Humidity Detection Mode

This intelligent mode automatically adjusts watering based on soil humidity levels, preventing over or under-watering.

1. Connect the humidity sensor probe to the control unit and insert it into the soil of a representative plant.
2. Switch the system to "humidity" mode (refer to the specific button or menu option on your device, typically indicated by a humidity icon or text).
3. The system will automatically detect humidity. If the humidity is lower than 30%, it will start watering until it reaches 70%.
4. If the humidity is not lower than 30% during a detection process, watering will be skipped for that cycle and tested again in the next scheduled cycle.

Image Description: This image illustrates the smart humidity detection feature. It shows a humidity sensor probe inserted into soil next to a small plant. The control unit's display shows "Clock," "1st watering time," "Watering," and "Interval" settings. A schedule graphic explains that watering occurs when humidity is detected below 30% and continues until 70%, skipping cycles if the soil is already moist.

Maintenance

• Clean the Filter: Periodically check and clean the water filter to prevent blockages and ensure consistent water flow.
• Inspect Tubing and Drippers: Regularly inspect all tubing and drippers for kinks, blockages, or damage. Clear any debris from the drippers.
• Water Reservoir: Keep the water reservoir clean to prevent algae growth, which can clog the system.
• Battery Charging: Ensure the internal Lithium Ion battery is charged using the provided Type-C cable. A low battery can affect system performance.
• Winter Storage: If storing the system for an extended period, especially in cold climates, drain all water from the system to prevent freezing and damage.
