Is there a way to set it so that it will automatically run twice a day on ALL days of the week, or do you have to set each individual day?

You can set it to run the program every day. Mine is set to run every morning and every evening.

you have to set each idividual day. i only feed once a day to conserve on corn been using electronic feeders for three years deer will not come more the more you feed they only come when their hungry
2014617
You set your feed times up to 6 a day. You can not set individual days of the week. So to answer your question you can only set up to 6 feeding a day or as little as 1 a day

Yes. You can set it to feed up to eight times per day at whatever times and days of the week as you so desire. There is no need to set each individual day.

Yes, you have to set it each night for the next morning. You don't have to go through changing the time, it will automatically come up but you have to hit the button a few times to set it.

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.

No, not really. You can only set it to go off a certain number of hours and minutes from the time that you set it. If it was the same number of hours everyday from when you were setting it to when you wanted it to go off you can just re-start easily to count down again once it has gone off.

I don't think I have the "auto" setting on and mine still jumps ahead 3 hours every few days. Please tell me how you fixed that. Thanks!

You can't specify 8 hrs etc, but you can set it to do intervals by using schedule. For instance I water every other day at 6AM. By using the schedule you can program it to wTer every day at say ten and six, or monday thursday at ten and tuesday froday at six (36 in between). You can schedule more than obe time on one line, you just have to follow the rules spelled out in book that comes with

No. Each night you set it (one button push if you're keeping the same time) to go off the next morning or whenever. If you don't want it to go off on Saturday morning, just don't push that button the night before.

The unit could be set to run as you describe. It has the capability of running 3 times daily on each outlet. Also, you can set for every other day operation as you describe say 36 hours. Downside is that if you set for every other day operation, that controls both outlets. Hope this helps.

The timer can be set for 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24, weekly so it should fit your requirement. To be sure, download the user manual from the manufacturer to confirm. Takes a complete cycle to activate, thus mine is set for daily and will only run the first time the next day. However, there is a manual override that can be set outside of the automated, so it works well. Had bought an older model that failed and Melnor replaced it with an advanced model and I bought two more because it worked so well. Great product and manufacturer from my perspective.

Yes you can program it day by day. I brought it for tenants to due the exact thing you are asking about.

You can choose the length of time and the instruction book is helpful. I set mine to run 7 minutes once a day starting at 1 pm.

This timer is designed to do specifically what you are asking in your question.You can set it up to do it from 6-9 once, daily, or a few days a week.

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.

Yes. Instead of using the pre-programmed combination of days (or the single day mode), simply put program 1 on one day, program two on another day (every other day if that is what you want), program three on another day, etc. This is a very accommodating unit - and easy to program. Since a normal week has SEVEN days, you will need to skip a day if you want it to repeat the same days each week. Otherwise, RE-program it every week!

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).

Yes - there are 3 programs you can set up independently - A, B, C. Set one station on program A to run daily, and the rest on program B to run twice per week.

No programmable days. It only has two on/off settings per day. So, program 1 and 2 are same seven days of the week.
