- The 21006 digital automatic irrigation timer is designed for complete control over irrigation schedules and durations, eliminating the need for daily monitoring or manual operation. It connects directly to the water source, automatically opening and closing the water flow according to a user-defined irrigation program. This helps maintain consistent plant irrigation, conserve water, and minimize waste. Featuring a clear digital display, easy programming, and the ability to set irrigation times and frequency throughout the day, it is suitable for home gardens, drip irrigation systems, planters, greenhouses, and small farms requiring regular and precise irrigation.

Important notes
- The device only controls the opening and closing of the water supply and does not pump water.
- Adequate water pressure is required for optimal performance.
- It is recommended to clean the internal filter periodically.
- Using high-quality batteries helps to extend operating life.
- It is preferable to remove the batteries when the device is not being used for extended periods.
- Regularly checking the batteries prevents the irrigation program from stopping.
Warnings
- The device should not be fully submerged in water.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- The connections must be made tight to prevent leakage.
- Do not use with water containing large impurities without proper filtration.
Orchid advice
- To maximize water use, it's best to schedule irrigation in the early morning or after sunset to reduce evaporation and increase water absorption by the roots. In drip irrigation systems, short, frequent irrigation often yields better results than one long, continuous irrigation, especially during the summer months and periods of high temperatures.
