Product description The GARDENA Water Control allows for flexible and individual irrigation settings. Three different and independent schedules can be created for the irrigation system. The start time, duration, and weekdays for irrigation can be adjusted. Highly flexible schedules can be set according to your personal preferences. The Water Control can be easily set using a rotary and push switch for data selection and confirmation. A clear LCD display shows all settings at a glance. The weather-resistant operating unit can be removed for making settings. An optional keypad lock can prevent unintentional changes to the settings. If irrigation needs to be started immediately, it can be activated manually without removing the unit from the tap or changing the settings. The Water Control always operates reliably thanks to its 'Safe stop' technology. If the battery power levels are too low to fully control an irrigation process, this process will not start. The battery level indicator on the display also shows when the battery needs to be replaced. The device is battery-operated (not included) and can be connected directly to the tap. - For water taps with 26.5 mm (G 3/4") and 33.3 mm (G 1") threads. - Operating pressure 0.5 - 12 bar. - Irrigation duration adjustable from 1 sec. to 99 min., frequency every 4/6/8/12/24/48/72 hours - Operates on 1x 9V Alkaline battery (not included).
