Q&A Troubleshoot
1) Why its watering weakly or water overdosing? Please check:
- 1. Avoid Siphon. Water source /water bucket /water surface level should not be placed higher than the pump.
- 2. Because of the high power pump, we suggest set up more than 4 drippers, the more drippers you set up the longer life of the pump.
- 3. If you set up more than 4 drippers, please dont set up with the cross joint (4-way joint).
- 4. Please check the filter, we suggest clean the filter each week.
- 5. Please adjust inlet pipe should not over than 9.8ft, 3.2~6.5ft is the best length.
- 6. The plants should not higher than 6.5ft (vs the water source).
- 7. Please adjust outlet pipe should not over than 33ft.
- 8. Please check the drippers is well connected with the pipe, if not it will to be leaking.
- 9. When finish the set up, youd better soak the tube in the hot water (which part is connected with the drippers) to make the pipe and the dripper much compact.
2) Why its not working? Please check if these were well set:
- 1. No bending or No clogging inside the tube.
- 2. Please check battery. The pump waters weakly when batterys electricity volume is low. If you only use AA battery, youd better choose alkaline battery, we suggest connect to USB power supply for frequent use.
- 3. Timer was set correctly. [First to set watering time, second to set the interval time, third to press the middle button to confirm]
- 4. Refer to our digital PDF manual as below for more. [Please login on your PC to find it]
3) The water flow of the drip emitter:
- Because the drip emitter is voltage regulator design, it can provide the relatevely steady flow for your plants when it is correct setting; This way it can make sure each drip emitter is working and easy to control;
- Because of the high power pump, we suggest to connect more than 4 drip emitters;
- The reference average flow rate there are: 4 drippers, 60~80ml/min; 6 drippers, 60~70ml/min; 8 drippers, 50~70ml/min; 10 drippers, 40~60ml/min; 12 drippers 30~50ml/min; 15 drippers, 30~40ml/min; For example, when you setting on 4 drippers, the water flow of each drippers is about 60~80ml/min;
- You can according to the reference average flow rate to increase or decrease drippers for your plants;
- If you find some drip emitters are abnormal flow, you need to replace the hose or the drippers;
