right corner of the screen. Press ACCEPT to water every
third day. Or, to water every second day, scroll up to the next
option, 2nd Day, and press ACCEPT. If you would like to water
on specific days (including everyday), press the up arrow again.
Choosing Specific Watering Days
The indicator will shift to the lower left corner of the screen,
the days of the week. Scroll to move the indicator, and press
ACCEPT to select each day you wish to water.
Note: you must move the indicator through all the days of
the week, even though you may not wish to water on them.
Bypass days when you do not wish to water. When you reach
Sunday, you must either press ACCEPT or scroll up one more
time to signal to the unit that you are done entering this cycle.
When you finish setting Watering Cycle 1, the indicator at the
upper left of the screen will blink under Watering Cycle 2. This
means you are ready to enter Watering Cycle 2 if you wish. To
do so, repeat the process.
Note: you must set the run time to 0:00 on all cycles for which
you do not want additional watering.
To review or make changes to a cycle, push the MENU button
twice. This will bypass the time and date and take you to
Watering Cycles. Scroll up or down to choose the cycle you
want, press ACCEPT to enable user input. Scroll up and
down to make changes. Press ACCEPT to enter the changes.
Attaching the Timer to the Faucet
Use the Manual On/Off button to close the valve inside
the timer. Check to see that it is closed by looking into the
opening on the bottom or top of the unit. Screw the black,
plastic coupling nut on top of the unit to the faucet. When it is
secure, turn the water on at the faucet. Leave it on.
Be certain to turn the water off at the faucet whenever you
remove the timer. Attach the hose and sprinkler to the outlet
on the underside of the timer. Melnor Aqua Timers are
completely compatible with the Melnor Quick Connect system
and other major hose connector systems.
Manual Watering
If you wish to turn the water on manually, there is no need to
remove the timer from the faucet. Just follow these steps.
Press the Manual On/Off button to open the valve manually.
The current time will appear, and a run-time of 30 minutes
will blink. The run-time for a manually opened valve is
automatically set at 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the unit will
close the valve and resume its current program.
The run-time for keeping the valve open can be adjusted down
to 0:00 or up to 59:00 minutes by scrolling up or down. To
prevent unwanted watering, set the Manual On/Off run-time at
0:00.
Note: When setting Manual On/Off run-time, you will have
only four seconds to scroll up or down to input your numbers.
If you need to re-start the process, press the Manual On/Off
button to close the valve and again to re-open the valve.
Advanced Options
What if you want to adjust the watering time without
permanently changing the watering cycles you have set?
Look for “% Run-Time” along the right side of the screen. This
controls all watering cycles. Press MENU three times, and
the screen will display two blinking items: numbers and an
indicator in the lower right corner above “On Off.” The number
should read 100, which indicates you are watering for 100% of
the time you set. The indicator should be On.
By scrolling up or down, you can change the number from 100
to 000 in increments of 10. For example, if you want to water
only half as much as usual, set 050 (for 50%). The indicator
will blink at On. If you want to skip watering altogether, set 000
(for 0%). The indicator will blink at Off.
What if you want to modify the run-time on some but not all
watering cycles?
Using the % run time feature affects all cycles equally. To affect
one cycle but not another, change the run-time in the cycle’s
programming. To do this, press MENU twice, scroll to the
cycle you wish to change, press ACCEPT, and begin making
changes. If you wish to disable a watering cycle while keeping
others running, set its run-time to 0:00.
Operating Tips
 Always use fresh alkaline batteries. Replace them at the
beginning of each watering season.
 Do not use rechargeable batteries.
 Use with water pressures from 7 to 120 PSI (0.3 to 8.5
bar).
 Do not expose timer to temperatures below 32 degrees F
(0 degrees C).
 Be careful when moving the hose. Too much pulling may
damage either the faucet or the hose connections.
 To prevent clogging, clean the filter washer regularly.
 To prevent unwanted watering, set the Manual On/Off run-
time at 0:00.
 Set the run time to 0:00 on all cycles for which you do not
want additional watering.
 Once your timer is programmed, the screen will display
current time and day of the week. The lower right corner
will indicate whether all watering cycles are adjusted
to a percentage of the programmed run-time or off. If
the cycles are running as programmed, there will be an
indicator in the lower right hand corner.
