You attach the hose to the machine, turn on the water, and the machine will take the amount of water it needs. Water flows into the bottom container which is sucked into the machine and runs over 'boards' that the fan blows through for cool air. Once enough water is in the bottom, it will automatically stop the flow and start again when more is needed. You do not have to do anything, but leave the water on. However, water will not overflow. Hope this helps.

Yes, and it's pretty simple to do. Understand, though, that if you have a garden hose connected to one of them, that one would be set to Manual, leaving you three circuits for drip irrigation.

You could use a hose. I use a hose with a lawn sprinkler attached and can control the water flow and direction.

Water hose to faucet. Turn on knob. Love mine. Ran the drain hose to a flower bed and use the sink to wash veggies from the garden.

Raise water container until you get flow (assuming the pipe and drippers are not clogged)

There is a connector that is installed so that the hose can be connected/disconnected when needed. Very simple and has worked great for me!

Only if you have a faucet in your house with a standard " Hose-Bib" connection.If you're unsure of what need look at the hose connection on the out side of your hose for watering your yard, that is the type of connection needed.One further comment, unless you are intending to use conditioned water (soft water) and need it could be attached to your outside faucet. In most metropolitan areas the outside faucets are tied to the same water your drink inside the house.

Nope. There is just an on/off switch. You can leave it on with no hose attached but there is not a setting for it.

No. But, if you are concerned, you can disconnect it when finished; then reconnect your hose; then flush your hose. Otherwise you can install an anti-siphoning device.

Sure - why not? Hook to hose - set timer - turn on water - Remember, it shuts off on time, not amount of water.

No it does not. You would have to shut off the water. There is a way. You can get a small plastic shut off valve at the hardware store that installs between hose and the sprayer or the wall fixture. They are inexpensive and easy to install. Take your unit with you to make sure you get the right size.

I would think so. There is a standard hose outlet (with valve) at the base of the tank. The tank comes with about a three foot length of hose. I replaced mine with a soaker hose that distributes the collected water over a 50 foot section of garden. The standard hose outlet has a (rather cheap, but effective) valve that will let you turn off the water distribution.

The force of the flow and the temperature are at the faucet . The hose valve & wand button only are on/off. It is simple install and operate.I had no problems or leaks following the manufacturer's instructions.

Yes. Make certain that water is connected and on and pressure hose is attached before starting. May have to charge battery overnight after receipt.

i am sure you can control the flow by opening it just a bit. i highly recommend this item. w have one 120 'hose going down to a garden area down below and a second 100 ft of hose for use around the house. it is no problem to switch from hose to hose. ot works great.

Attached to water input (where you normally put the garden hose). I use the whole can but you could use half.
