Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If it’s going to rain, can I prevent the timer from watering?

A: Yes. Please refer to Advanced Operations in these

instructions.

Q: Why do my pipes bang when the water shuts off?

A: This is called a “water hammer.” The addition of a short

piece of hose between the timer and the faucet should

eliminate this problem.

Q: Can I erase or delete a program?

A: While you cannot specifically delete a Watering Cycle, you

can save a new setting in its place. Also, if you wish no

watering, you can set the run time to 0:00 (see Advanced

Operations).
