Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is the Low Battery light flashing?
A. The Low Battery light will flash to indicate that the charge in
the batteries is low. Change the batteries.
Q. Why will the current program(s) not run?
A. The faucet might be off. Check to make sure the faucet is
turned on.
Q. Can I turn off the watering if it is going to rain?
A. Yes, you can turn off the watering by rotating the Duration
knob to the Off position. Be sure to turn it back to the
desired Duration time when you want to resume the
program.
Q. How do I create a new program?
A. Rotate the Frequency knob to Now and the Duration knob
to Off. Follow the steps described under the section titled
“Programming Your Timer”.
Q. Can I change the watering duration after a program
has been set?
A. Yes, rotate the Duration knob to the desired duration. If the
valve is currently open, it will close and then run the new
duration at the next programmed time.
Delayed Watering
You can delay the first watering cycle of each watering zone
by up to 12 hours by using the small button at the bottom
middle of each zone area. Press the delay button 1 time for
each hour you wish to delay the first start time. The “Low
Battery” light will illuminate when you press the button. The
maximum delay is 12 hours.
For example, if you are programming at 4:00 in the afternoon
and you want your timer to water every 12 hours, but you
want the first watering of the day to start at 6:00 a.m., press
the Delay button two times. Without the delay, the first cycle
would have occurred 12 hours after the timer is programmed
(4:00 a.m.). The delay feature changes that to 6:00 a.m. The
timer will then water every 12 hours after that.
Now Feature
If you would like to water immediately for a set amount of
time, your AquaTimer
®
can help. Turn the Frequency knob to
“Now” and then set the Duration knob to indicate how long
you want the water to run. For example, if you want to water
your lawn or garden immediately and want the water to run for
three minutes, turn the Frequency knob to Now and turn the
Duration knob to 3. The valve will open and then automatically
close after three minutes.
