FAQ

FAQ

Can I run this form a regular tap or is it only for tank application?

  • This timer will run from both the garden tap and a tank. It is ideal for short run micro spray or drip irrigation applications in your yard. It is a ball valve rather than a solenoid valve, and will run efficiently from 0 to 600kPa.

I have set the Run Time and Frequency on my timer and have pressed the Enter button, but my unit does not come on.

  • Your timer will not run until the Interval time has elapsed. It will count down the time and then run.

Can I set my timer to come on at a specific time?

  • No. Once you have set a program and pressed Enter, your timer will begin its countdown and water once that time has elapsed. It cannot be set to a certain time as there is no clock or calendar in the timer.

If I use my timer manually, will I need to re set my timer?

  • No. If you turn the dial to ON, your timer will run until you return the dial to the programmed position, it will still remember its program.

How do I reset my timer?

  • Simply remove the battery for 5-10 mins then reinsert. Dial in the new program and press enter.

Is it OK to use my timer over winter?

  • We do not recommend the use of your timer over the winter period. It will not handle low temperatures, below 3 degrees Celsius may damage the timer. We advise the timer to be removed over the winter period, or allowed to drain if left on the tap.

Can I get spare parts for my timer?

  • Yes, some parts are available for this timer. Please contact us.

Preparing tap timers for winter

  • Be sure you check with your local water authorities for any sprinkler bans
  • We recommend either reducing the watering time or turning it off completely
  • In really cold climates, we suggest that you remove the battery and make sure there is no water left inside the tap timer
  • If you live in an area that gets frost, we recommend taking off the tap timer completely and storing it away for the meantime
