Maintenance

• Inlet Filter Cleaning: Periodically check the filter screen inside the brass inlet for debris. Remove the timer from the faucet, unscrew the inlet, and rinse the filter under running water. This prevents clogging and ensures proper water flow.
• Winter Storage: Before the first frost, disconnect the water timer from the faucet and hoses. Remove the batteries. Store the unit indoors in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage from freezing water.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the timer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
