Will this system keep watering for 3 months?

I have used this system for 8+ months now. It simply pulls water from a nearby water source such as a pitcher, washed out soda bottle, or any other water container. You pull a vacuum on in the tubing and siphon water from the water container similar to how one would siphon gas out of car's gas tank.

No if I remember right it is only for like three hours. You select how many minutes, it might have been up to 240 minutes. Been all winter haven't messed with it in months and don't have access to it currently. I love the timer though, it has worked great and reliable for me last year. My only quam with it is that it doesn't have a calendar type setup. My watering days are on the even days of the month, so if I select it to water every other day then I have to reset it come the 31st. So as long as the month ends in 28 or 30 I'm great. But otherwise it has helped me tremendously. Good Luck.

It uses all four and yes, they all do 3000 gallons. So it should last for about 20 years we figure. yippee

I typically fill the reservoir once every week and a half or so. The plants seem to do fine this way, without overwatering. The diffusion of the water from a full reservoir over this time period seems to be just right, but this may be based on the plans you have in there.

so far it is working great. We live in the desert and the sun is brutil. My wife loves it she waters all the plants in the back yard 15 to 20 min then the same in the front 3 or4 times a week. When she is done it goes in a small covered can so the sun don.t get to it.

Hi I have only had mine for about a year and we have feed about 6 trees. So far so good. I really do like this type of system as it works well on watering the rooting system of the trees as our yard has a lot of clay that seems to not take the water to the roots. Good luck.

I Don't think so, as you can only set an interval between each watering but they are the same. I know I set mine for Tue, Thu, Sat but then must remember to turn off so it doesn't run on Mondays. With watering restrictions it is probably best to find one more programmable. I will have to do this also.

These work well but I don't think they would water for 3 days. One trick that may allow a longer time is to invert several soda bottles filled with water over two holes. Partially plug the hole so you only get a slight trickle of water. Fill the rest with water as normal. They also keep the weeds down.

Yes you can. In the watering settings you can have the zone water in up to 4 times a day by selecting it in the different watering cycles.

It depends on what type of plant you have in the container. I water as I would a small pot. My succulents are thriving and I water them twice per month.

We have not used ours with that system. We did set up a drip irrigation system and are using potting soil, garden soil, mulch, etc. and it works well.

lasts up to 3 months...growth blends out instead of strict line...you can get build up so apply first to new growth ...I weave it in to avoid lines

Yes you can choose the days you want to water on, it is very easy to set up. I have purchased 2 of these units now, 1 for my raised veggie boxes and glass house and the other side of it for my fruit trees. The other unit is for the flower gardens around the front of my house and the other side does my front garden. Very pleased with the units. I also purchased a single unit for my herb gardens. Happy watering

it depends on how big the plants are for the first 2 to 3 months I had to change out the solution every two weeks but after that I had to start adding additional solution every other day

Our system lasted about 5 years. I believe it might go longer if it weren't hooked into the sprinkler system. We do not have a bypass for that, nor can we add it. The tank is very easy to install, and to change the filters. So glad we have it!

Trust me, change it every 30 days if you want the water to be fresh. If you forget to change it for 3 months, it will smell funny and won't be filtering properly. If you have ever noticed a water bowl getting a little slippery inside, think of what a filter after 90 days in water would be like. I got rid of my fresh flow because there were too many crevices that I couldn't get clean enough and it wasn't as fresh as changing out the water in a bowl everyday.

No. But will keep plant evenly moist until the water runs out of the globe.
