Can I set it to water every other week at 8am & 6pm Thur? How about weekly but even week 8am Thur and odd week 6pm Thur?

I think the answer to both questions is no. The schedules are made on a weekly basis and just repeat week after week. Both your examples require a two week schedule.

I'm sorry but I do not use my controller that way. I imagine you can find the operating instructions online.

No but you can program it to water every 3rd week, 6am and 8pm. With the odd and even weeks it's a bit more complicated. You must install a jumper wire on pin 3 of the timer chip and connect it to pin 7 of the IC in position J2. After that restart the unit and program the times you want to water.

I don't think the scheduling is that sophisticated. Here's the manual if you want to take a look. http://www.irrigationdirect.com/media/manuals/owners-manuals/orbit/Orbit-WaterMaster-57926-ST2-RF-Controller-With-Remote-Control-Owners-Manual.pdf

This system can be programmed to water any zone up to 4 times/day (or be turned off) independently of the other zones. You can only set the initial zone start time, the following times are done by the system's internal software. If you want to water specifically @ 6AM and 6PM (your example of AM/PM watering), for example - nope this unit won't do that. You can only set the initial start time not any of the following starts.

If you water daily, you can choose watering times of 2,5,10,15,30,or 60 minutes. There are similar watering time choices if you instead water every other day or every third day.

It will water 4 times a day. The timer works on 15 minute increments only. So you could water for 4 minutes at 6am, then 4 minutes at 6:15am, 4 minutes at 6:30am and 4 at 6:45am. It won't work for 6:00, 6:04, 6:08, then 6:12.

Yes, it will stay on all through a weekend. If you're not using it, I'd recommend unplugging the unit, since it will continue to consume power. There's also a "sleep timer" that allows you to have the unit suspend heating for 6 hours. We set that on at night. By breakfast the water is back to the right temperature.

Good quetion! The only way I can think to do that takes away some of the advantage of an automated system. That would be to program days and watering times for the valves as desired, leave the system off and then turn on when needed and use the "water all zones one time (or only one zone) button", turning system off again when done. I know that's not an ideal scenario, but I think it's all the system will allow since it's based on weekly rather than monthly programing intervals.

You may be able to but don't waste your money on this timer. I, along with several others wound up with outrageous water bills because the timer didn't shut off. I went on vacation for three weeks and it ran 24/7. Bill was over $300.

I believe you can set 2 different programs per day, and as long as the batteries don't go dead it should work up to 3 months, but you will have to turn it off after 3 months or it will keep on going. I love this thing! Mine is set to come on every other morning for 30 minutes to turn on the sprinkler to water my grass, and it hasn't failed to come on or shut off yet.

I leave the water on continuously with it set up through a timer. Just twist the timer to 20-30 minutes a few times a week and walk away. When the timer goes off it quits flowing water to the hose.

No. You can set it for frequency of 1-7 days. So you could set it to run every 3 or 4 days to meet your scenario. Hope that helps.

Joseph... the answer is NO! The timer can be set to start and stop "once" OR "twice" a day. The amount of time you want the water to run during the ONE or TWO sessions can be broke down to hours and minutes.

You can change it with the water running. But I differently don't recommend it. I was a little slow the last time I changed mine and bathed myself and everything under the sink.....................

Without a doubt. You can even water up to 3 different times per day/ 7 different days per week. I have used these for years and love them!

The cooler has a timer on it that you can set for 0.5 to 7.5 hours. I've never used it continually for more than about 4 hours but it only used about 1/2 the water in that time period. Of course, it also depends on what speed you have it set on, too.

Yes you can set the desired temperature and let it go it'll keep the temperature as long as you need it to this thing is unbelievable I wish I would've gotten one along time ago and it does turn off on the temperature is right but it still cycles water.

The timer can be set to water daily or any day of the week by following the programming instructions. You can also select the frequency and the desired watering time and duration.
