Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Biling Solar Drip Irrigation System:

1. Prepare the Hose: Dip the end of the water hose in warm water for about 1 minute. This will soften the hose, making it easier to insert the T-connectors and drippers.
2. Connect the Filter: Attach the filter to the inlet port of the controller. Place the filtered end into your water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or tank).
3. Position the Controller: Mount the controller unit in a suitable location, ensuring it is positioned higher than your water source. This is crucial to prevent siphoning and ensure the pump functions correctly.
4. Install the Solar Panel: Connect the solar panel to the controller. Place the solar panel in a sunny spot where it can receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging. Use the provided ground stake if installing in soil.
5. Route the Hose and Install Drippers: Connect the 15-meter water hose to the outlet port of the controller. Route the hose to your plants. Cut the hose at appropriate points and insert T-connectors. Attach drippers to the T-connectors and place them near the base of each plant.
6. Consider Plant Water Needs: Plants with higher water requirements should be placed closer to the controller unit, while plants needing less water can be positioned further along the hose line.
7. Secure Connections: Ensure all hose connections, T-connectors, and drippers are securely fitted to prevent leaks.
