This page will help you understand your irrigation timer, how to adjust it's settings, and provide some rough guidance to watering in Arizona.

Using single or double zone hose spigot timers is a game changer for both stock tank gardens and in-ground plantings. These timers easily attach to your standard hose spigot, enabling automated and precise watering schedules, thus eliminating the need for manual intervention. We love them and would discourage any higher end multi zone systems unless you know what you are doing 😀

Settings and Adjustments

Auto

Keeping your timer on AUTO ensures that the scheduled programming is in effect.

<aside> 💡 Be careful with students moving the dial to any other setting will cause the timer to stop its normal finction

Set Clock

Simple enough, setting the time allows the timer to go off at expected times. The only time you need to readjust is in the case of batteries dying and the program being wiped.

Use the arrow keys to set.

Set Start Time

For in -ground vegetable beds set the start time once before the sun rises in the morning (around 5am should work), and once during the warmest part of the day ( 4pm).

If gardening in stock tanks once a day before the sun rises will suffice.
