Warm Tips

Please read before use：

Don’t use the water timer when the temperature is  below 37.4℉ (3°C), and please store the timer indoors to avoid potential freezing damage

The filter traps dirt particles, preventing them from entering the timer and causing clogging. Please clean the filter regularly and replace it if worn.

To ensure a longer lifespan, please use 2 new AAA alkaline batteries (not included). Don’t mix new and old alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable batteries.

Please activate the water timer before first use or after a period of inactivity (Refer to page 7: ACTIVATE THE TIMER BEFORE USE).

Only use with clean cold water.

3.2 Programming Your Timer

Setting Irrigation Duration

Turn the duration knob to set the Irrigation Duration. The green light flashes 5 times, and then stays on for 2 seconds to confirm the setting.

If the light is rotated to another position during the flashing process, the count will be restarted. After confirmation, the irrigation plan will be started immediately. During the irrigation process, the green light will flash intermittently, once every 5 seconds, until the irrigation is finished.

When the duration knob is turned to OFF, the red light flashes and then stays on for 2 seconds to turn off the valve. After the valve is turned off, the red light will no longer be on. At this time, if you rotate the frequency knob to any position, the light will flash red twice, indicating that it is now in the off state, the valve is not opened, and the plan will not be set successfully.

Setting Irrigation Frequency

Rotate the knob to select the desired Irrigation Frequency. The light on the manual watering button will flash green for 5 times and then be on for 2 seconds to confirm the setting. Rotating to other positions during the flashing process will restart the count for the light.

• When the frequency knob is turned to ONE/OFF, the single function is entered. At this time, the valve will be opened once no matter how long the duration knob is turned to, and no cycle plan will be generated.
• When the frequency knob is at ONE/OFF and you need to water once more, you need to turn the duration knob to any other position and then turn it back to the desired duration to restart the single watering.
• Examples of watering frequencies of every 24 hours, every 48 hours, and every 72 hours:

Manual Irrigation

If the battery is low during watering, the device will immediately close the valve, if the above situation occurs, please replace the batteries in time.

After a period of use, impurities or dirt in the water may accumulate in the timer. Therefore, the timer should be cleaned regularly to ensure its proper operation. Please follow these steps to clean the timer.
