- Adequate water pressure is needed for best performance.
- Clean the internal filter regularly.
- High-quality batteries extend operating life.
- Remove the batteries when the timer is not used for long periods.
- Checking the batteries regularly prevents the irrigation program from stopping.
Precautions
- Do not fully submerge the timer in water.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Make sure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Do not use with water containing large impurities without proper filtration.
Orkida Tip
- To get the most from your water, program irrigation for early morning or after sunset to reduce evaporation and improve root uptake. In drip systems, short, frequent watering usually gives better results than one long session, especially in the hot summer months.
