Can you water every other week as per severe water restrictions? i.e. only on Tue every other week?

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.

i don't think Ưe can make it, unless the law requires and let the grass die...than we need not to water at all and the whole town turned into "ghost town"

absolutely and you can select the times of the day that you want to water as well

No actual time setting only amount of time to water on every day, every other day and every third day. Suggest turning the unit on at the time you want to water and it should repeat on following days.

No, not at all. I change the water about once every 3-5 days. Super simple.

This unit will allow you to water any day of the week you choose. Once you have set the days to water, it will be the same for every week until you program it differently. I run mine on a oscillating sprinkler

Yes! When the filter reaches its limit, the water flow will diminish almost down to a trickle. If that happens for more than 1 day, it's time to change the filter. Depending upon usage, you may need to change the filter once a month.

no, because you can put the water return head at the surface of the water, so only the filtered water is pours back in. i would still do regular water changes. hope this helps.

Yes you can set for a week or more. Just program it for a particular time and if you need to water at another time use the manual override, it will not change the program you have preset.

yes, it can be added weekly at a rate of 1oz per gallon. personally, i use it with every 3rd watering at a rate of 1/2 oz or 15cc's per gallon. Works wonders in conjunction with Azomite.

I am able to program each zone independently. i have some zones running three days a week and others on 2 days a week. albeit, only one zone can be watered at a time, so stagger your time allotments accordingly.

If you mean totally clean it out, I would say it depends on your water. I clean my every month and rinse my filter once a week. (At least I TRY to clean the filter once a week.)

We only change ours out once a month. The water remains clean for that duration.

The manufacturer states, "Not for human consumption." Not sure why they state that. I have drank the week with no ill effect. But you must decide whether or not to risk drinking the water.

We also have hard water, although not THAT hard--worth a try maybe, though! Good luck.

Yes you can but I have to warn you that watering 10 hours daily will significantly increase your water bill.

The zones allow independent timing on each, but only one date adjustment. You won't be able to operate different schedules for things like tomatoes (daily short water schedule) and new trees (weekly deep watering) off the same controller.

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.
