2 things, what is the max time per zone (want to use it for drip irrigation) and can it run more than one zone at a time (if so how many)
318055
it will only run one zone at a time. think max run time 99 minutes. two digit field. I know it goes above 60.

I just went and adjusted the setting to see... The time on a zone went up to 240 minutes duration. It can only run one zone at a time. You can set a zone to water up to 4 times per day.

You can run one zone at a time (to the best of my knowledge) up to 240 minutes (4 hours) per zone, but you can water a zone up to 4 times per day if you have areas that require lots of water but you don't want them to be flooded. For example; during the summer months I water each zone twice in the early morning hours for 15 minutes each , so they get 30 minutes of water but the second watering doesn't start until the end of the first cycle. This maximized water absorption into the ground and minimized run off.

Sorry for being late, but here is my answer: The time per zone is not limited but the unit will surely not deliver enough power to supply more than solenoid valve zone at a time. By design the zones are powered one after the other. Every zone has its own start time and I do not think there is provision for overlap of zone, although I have not tried . My water well pump would not be powerful enough anyway..

Yes to both of your questions! It also has a feature called cycle and soak, which will divide your total run time up into smaller cycles, giving the soil time to absorb. A great feature for getting the most watering out of your water restriction days. Since you are only running two or three days a week, you'll just set your run times higher then you would if you were running every day. That way when the software adjusts down for weather, it's not decreasing your watering too much. We love ours so much!

Hi Beth,This is a great timer and is my third one. I buy them for my irrigation systems and have been using them for a long time. You won't have any problem setting this up to run for 8 hours. You can set any duration between 1 minute and 11 hours and 59 minutes.Good Luck!Alex

For that large of house you need to use the 230 volt option. The 120 volt will never create enough steam. It gets installed before the filter in the furnace, so yes it will work on 3 zones. I have 5 zones. Installation time can very but 4 hours is a good high estimate for HVAC. You also need plumbing and electrical contractors too. Make sure you do not use RO water. Use only regular water. System needs some hardness for it to work correctly.

You can do both. If you want to manually water all zones, leave the dial on "Auto Run" and press the "water all now" button and at that moment all your zones would be watered according to the minutes you had set for each zone. It also waters each zone separately if you Do Not want all the zones to be turned on. All you have to do is turn the Dial to the Zone you want to turn on and press the "Water One Zone Now" button. It also lets you choose the amount of minutes to be watered.

No you can only set one interval for watering and 1 duration of watering up to 3 hours long

No, this is a two cycle timer so it can be set for 2 watering events per day. You should go for Claber 8456 which is a 6 cycle timer and can be set to watering 6 times a day.

the unit has a front panel switch that lets it operate manually. You can select a zone and watering time, but cannot run any program.Refer to www.onpointeco.com/activeFiles/wp1000Manual.pdf

The answer is YES, you may eschdule two different watering cycles per day (24 hours format) and also you can program the length of the timing. Device is really easy to program once you read the instructions, also you can program any or all the days you want watering from 1 t 7 days. I bought an gardena sprinkler connected to the timer and what a set I have, I am more than happy using both articles.

have mine running with a timer 20hr on, 4 off.lights too. the water is about the same as my room temp, it is 80 degrees in my room and the temp probe in the water says 81 degrees been running 12 hours now. they recommened 18 on 6 off. going to change my timer to that. had to make a new squirter pvc pipe 1 inch longer so it sprayed on the rockwool not below it? clones are very healthy. going to put AC in the room soon summer coming.

I wouldn't run it more than 12 hrs and that's pushing it. I run mine about ten hours. My plants are going nuts, and I hardly fertilize them.

Yea, I'm not sure why it's worded like that but I have 5 stations around my house and use only one watering program. I'm sure if you wanted a creative watering schedule you could do it with tis thing.

When you program this unit, you select which days of the week you want the set program to run. So running the watering program every x days is not an option unless you want the watering program to run once every 7 days (same day of the week each week).

It only has 6 or 8 different timers. For example: You want it on at 2 the next setting it asks is the off time so for 10 mins you put in 2:10 so then it'll be on for 10 mins automatically. But you can only set up the times you want on for 6 or 8 times I can't remember for sure but no you cant make it run for 2 mins every 20 mins it doesn't have enough time spaces to be set like that. Hopefully that all made sense and can help you make a decision on a timer. I love mine and I'm using it with a hydroponic pump also

The shortest watering time is one minute. But if you adjust the budget selector down to ten percent it will only be on for ten percent of that minute. Pretty short. It also has 3 programs. They each can have 4 start times. You can run all 3 of the programs stacked and get 4 start times per program. You should be able to flood what ever you want when you do that.

Yes you can. You can select the amount of time, individual or multiple zones, how many times per day, and the days of the week each zone is watered.

Hi Lola - The way it works is that there are a set of 6 "programs" or watering on/off times. All 6 run during the same 24 hour day, and you can decide which days will run those programs. So, for example, if you set up 4 of the 6 programs, you can decide which days run them, but whichever days you select will all have to run the exact same programs. You can NOT have different programs run on different days. I hope that helps.
