4. Setup Instructions

1. Prepare Water Source: Place a water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or tank) in a suitable location. Ensure it is filled with water.
2. Position the Solar Pump:
   • Attach the ground stake to the solar pump unit.
   • Insert the stake into the ground near your plants, ensuring the solar panel faces direct sunlight for maximum charging efficiency.
   • Alternatively, use the provided screws to mount the pump unit on a wall or fence.
   

   The solar panel charges the internal battery even on cloudy days, providing up to 30 days of standby power.
3. Connect the Filter and Main Tube:
   • Connect one end of the main tube (Ø4 mm) to the pump's water outlet.
   • Attach the filter to the other end of the main tube and place the filter into your water reservoir. Ensure the filter is fully submerged.
4. Install the Anti-siphon Valve:

   Insert the anti-siphon valve into the main tube at a point higher than the water level in your reservoir. This prevents water from continuously siphoning out of the reservoir.

   

   The anti-siphon valve prevents accidental over-watering and backflow.
5. Distribute Tubing and Drippers:
   • Lay out the main tube to reach your plants.
   • Cut the main tube at desired points and insert T-connectors.
   • Connect the branch tube (Ø3 mm) to the T-connectors and run it to individual plants.
   • Insert a micro dripper into the end of each branch tube and place it near the base of the plant.
   • Use the cross connector for parallel irrigation to ensure uniform distribution to up to 15 pots.
   

   RAINPOINT's cross connector enables parallel irrigation for uniform water distribution to multiple plants.

6. Secure Tubing: Use the provided cable ties to secure the tubing and prevent kinks or dislodgement.
7. Seal Unused Ends: Use the tube end caps to seal any unused branch tube ends.
