5. Troubleshooting
Q1: Why the water timer didn't turn on/off at preset time?
A1:
- Programming is incorrect
- Water pressure is too low
- Particles of dirt or debris stuck in 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 is the water valve out of little water?
A2:
If you are using a gravity feed system, such as a rain barrel system, then it won't work and will keep low water pressure. Gravity feed has no real pressure when dealing with a rain barrel. It needs pressure measuring.
6. Warm Tips
- The best range for connection and control is within 49.2ft in the open area.
- Do not use your timer when the air temperature is below 40°F (4.5°C), the timers should be removed from the hose faucet and stored indoors to avoid potential frozen damage.
- Filter can trap dirt particles, please clean filter regularly and replace if worn.
- Please replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears the display. When replacing the power unit, please make sure that the water timer is dry.
- To prevent leakage, make sure that the water timer is tightly attached to the faucet and hose, add rubber washer and thread seal tape if necessary.
Note:
- (1) The water flow is reduced by half when the two zones are turned on at the same time.
- (2) The water flow in two zones may be different if you turn on one zone first and then turn on the other zone.
