Tap Timer may not be scheduled as desired

  1. Ensure your timer clock is set to the current date and time, ensuring AM/PM is also correct
  2. Ensure your WATERING DAYS, START TIME and RUN TIME are all set correctly as desired
  3. Ensure your schedule is assigned to your desired watering ZONE correctly
  4. Ensure your tap timer is set to AUTO once all schedules are set

 

Water pressure may be too high

  1. Check the flow rate and pressure of your tap:
    • Tap timers need to operate within a particular range. Refer to the product details of your tap timer to ensure it is operating within the correct range
    • To check the flow rate of your tap, you can perform a bucket test by following these instructions
  2. Try adding a Pressure Reducer (VPR200) to your system, between your Tap Timer and the tap

 

Tap Timer may need to be closed manually

  1. Manually close the outlets by following these instructions:
    1. Set the tap timer to AUTO
    2. Press MANUAL
    3. Press +to set a manual run time to 1 minute and let this duration lapse
      • This will close the outlet
      • If you need to close additional outlets, press ZONE to select the correct outlet that is running and follow the above steps again

    water timer was not turning off - on program schedule 

    Realised after looking at support that I put end time in 08:15 instead of run time eg 00:05 for 5 minutes run time. 

     

    I am taking no risk as 1200 psi pressure out of mains destroyed several cheaper timers,

    so I got a 300 PSI reducer from Bunnings and put it on the tap
