3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your RAINPOINT Automatic Watering System:

1. Prepare Hoses: Cut the 4mm main hose and 3mm branch hose to the desired lengths based on your plant layout. For easier connection, briefly immerse the hose ends in hot water to make them more flexible.
2. Connect Inlet and Outlet Hoses: Attach one end of the 4mm main hose to the water inlet port of the main control unit. Attach the water filter to the other end of this hose, ensuring it is submerged in your water reservoir (e.g., a bucket). Connect another section of the 4mm main hose to the water outlet port of the main control unit.
3. Install Check Valve: Integrate the check valve into the outlet hose line. This prevents water backflow and allows for watering plants positioned higher than the water reservoir.
4. Distribute Water: Use the cross connector and T-connectors to create a distribution network from the 4mm outlet hose. From each T-connector, run a 3mm branch hose to individual plants. Secure the micro drippers at the end of each 3mm hose, placing them near the plant roots.
5. Secure Hoses: Use the provided cable ties to secure the hoses and drippers in place, ensuring a neat and stable setup.
6. Seal Ends: Use hose end caps to seal any unused hose ends in your distribution network.
7. Position Main Unit: The main unit can be placed on a flat surface or hung using the provided hook on the edge of your water reservoir.

4.2. Watering Modes: Normal vs. Cycle & Soak

The system supports two primary watering modes:

• Normal Mode: Delivers water for a set duration at specified intervals.
• Cycle & Soak Mode: Optimizes nutrient absorption by delivering water in short bursts followed by soak periods. This prevents runoff and ensures better soil saturation.

4.3. Manual Watering

You can initiate a manual watering cycle at any time without affecting your programmed schedule. Simply press the designated button to start watering for the duration currently set.

4.4. Delay Watering

If conditions are humid or rain is expected, you can delay the next scheduled watering cycle by 24, 48, or 72 hours to prevent overwatering.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your watering system.

• Filter Cleaning: Periodically check and clean the water filter to prevent blockages and ensure consistent water flow.
• Hose Inspection: Inspect hoses for kinks, damage, or blockages. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Battery Charging: The system features a rechargeable battery. Monitor the battery indicator on the display and recharge as needed using the provided USB-C cable. A full charge typically provides 30-60 days of operation, depending on watering frequency and duration.
• Low Water Auto-Stop: The system is equipped with a low water auto-stop feature to prevent dry running and protect the pump. Ensure your water reservoir has sufficient water.
