Power Supply Methods
1.1 Insert 4*AA 1.5V alkaline batteries
- Remove the battery tray back of the pump.
- Insert 4 brand new AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) as the marked "-" and "+" direction.
- Firmly reinstall the battery cover back into the pump.
Note:
- Firmly restore the battery cover to ensure water resistance.
- When it is idle, please remove the battery and store it properly.
- Used up batteries must be removed from the pump.
- Do not dispose of batteries in the fire, which may cause explosion or leak.
1.2 Plug in the cable of the USB port
- Plug in the USB cable (included).
- When the power is on, the [USB Connected icon] indicator will light up.
Note:
- We recommend that you use USB power supply where there is a power supply, so that the water pump can have a stable voltage and improve efficiency.
- When both power modes are used simultaneously, it will match the USB cable power first; when the USB cable is disconnected, the battery-powered mode will be activated.
Installation and Setup
2. Determine the correct placement
Please do not put the pump below the water level of the reservoir to effectively avoid the siphoning phenomenon. (The siphoning effect will cause the water leaking and over-watering problem).
The lift length of the water pump: the vertical distance of 2-3m, because the water pipe can not be placed 100% straight, we recommend that the height between the plants and pump should not exceed 2.5m.
3. Connect the hose correctly
3.1 Cut the hose according to the distance of the device, the plant or you need.
3.2 Put the head of hose into hot water for 10s or Put a little veggie oil on the end of the hose before connecting.
3.3 Connect the hose to water inlet and outlet.
3.4 Connect the check valve to the water outlet near the pump. Using a check valve may reduce water pressure. (The check valve must be installed correctly in accordance with the flow direction).
3.5 Insert the other end of the hose connected to the water inlet of the pump with the filter, and then put it into the container.
3.6 Connecting the suitable barb fitting:
- If only the hose needs to be connected, you can use a straight barb fitting.
2) When you need to connect the hose while splitting to two ways, you can use the "T" barb fitting.
3) When you need to connect a hose while splitting to other 3 ways, you can use the cross barb fitting.
3.7 When water needs to be delivered to the soil, you need to use the micro drip emitters.
Tips: Loosen the soil first, then insert the drips at least 3 inches deep, which will help water enter the plant roots.
3.8 Please install Tubing End Caps after water flows out from the end of the pipe to avoid air in the pipe so that the water cannot flow smoothly to the end of the pipe.
4. Installation completed and tested
- Press and hold the [OK] button to start the pump, then the water will be pumped to your plants.
- Check if there is any leakage in the connection part of the hose. If so, it means no tightening; please keep tightening until no leakage.
- After testing with no usage problems, go to the next step: WiFi setup and programming the watering schedule.

Setting Example
- If you want to water your plants for 30 seconds at 9:00 AM of everyday, please set "HOW LONG" by 30s, "HOW OFTEN" by 1day and the "DELAY" by 0. Set the device at 9:00 AM. After setting finished, the watering pump timer will work automatically everyday at 9:00 AM to water for 30 seconds.
- If now it's 7:00 AM, and you want to water your plants for 1 minute at 10:00 AM, please set "HOW LONG" by 1min, "HOW OFTEN" by 1 day, "Delay" by 3hours. The first time watering will start at 10:00 AM, and further watering will start at 10:00 AM with 1 day interval.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Problem | Possible Cause | Possible Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven water flow | Too far away from pots and water containers or too long pipes can reduce the pump's pumping efficiency. | The further away from the pump the potted plant is, the weaker the water flow will become. Please use some clamps to hold the first few branches so that the mainstream water can be delivered quickly and for a long time. |
| Hard to insert and remove water pipes | Because of the material, in order to make the pipe more durable. | Put the head of hose into hot water for 10s or Put a little veggie oil on the end of the hose before connecting. |
| Watering schedule not on time | The lack of water at the inlet resulted in the plan not being implemented on time. | Check if there is a lack of water in the container at the inlet. (If there is a leakage the schedule will not running) |
| Watering schedule not on time | The water pump unexpectedly lost power and the plan was emptied. | The watering schedule needs to be reset. |
