8. FAQ
Q1: Why the Bluetooth water timer didn't turn on/off at the preset time?
A1:
- Programming is incorrect
- The water pressure is too low
- Particles of dirt or debris stuck in the valve
- More than one start time is programmed with overlapping schedules
- Manual watering is on
- Faulty valve
- The batteries were low
- The faucet is off.
Q2: Why Bluetooth keeps dropping connection?
A2:
- The Bluetooth of the water timer is currently in sleep mode; please wait 5-10 seconds for automatic reconnection. Alternatively, scroll down to refresh the home page of the APP, or disconnect the Bluetooth from your phone and turn it on again.
- If the device has been connected to other mobile phones, please disconnect it first.
- Make sure the device battery is charged and place the phone as close to the device as possible.
- You do not need to stay connected once you set up your schedule. The device will always keep your watering settings and work automatically according to the schedule.
Q3: Why is the water valve out of little water?
A3: If you are using a gravity feed system (e.g., a rain barrel system), it may not work or may have low water pressure. Gravity feed systems lack the necessary pressure for this timer. It requires pressure measuring.
9. Warm Tips
- The best range for connection and control is within 49.2 ft in an open area.
- The Bluetooth water timer does not support Alexa & Google voice or remote control.
- Do not use your timer when the air temperature is below 40°F (4.5°C). Remove timers from the hose faucet and store them indoors to avoid potential frozen damage.
- The filter can trap dirt particles; please clean the filter regularly and replace it if worn.
- Please replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. When replacing the power unit, ensure the water timer is dry.
- To prevent leakage, ensure the water timer is tightly attached to the faucet and hose, and add a rubber washer and thread seal tape if necessary.
Note:
- The water flow is reduced by half when the two zones are turned on at the same time.
- The water flow in two zones may be different if you turn on one zone first and then turn on the other zone.
