Hello to the community - can somebody help us? We have bought the device for the following purpose: Our tennis courts should be irrigatet through 8 valves. Each must be run for 5 min each, immediately (!!) followed by the next one. It seems that the time scheduler allows starting points only 10 min apart, which is not acceptable for us because irrigation would then consume 80 min instead of 40 min (during which play must be stopped). Is ther any way around this problem, can the starting times of each valve be set to e.g. 5.05 ? It is sad, but as for now, the irrigator cannot be used in practise. (Please note: because of water pressure issues, there can be only one single valve be open at any given time.)
Moreover, can a schedule be saved somewhere and re-loaded when temporary changes had to be installed? Several schedules would be desirable.
Thanks in advance for help!
Hello. I also thought I had an error but that’s not the case.
I’ll tell you how it works:
You establish the start at 8AM, then you tell zone 1 to water 5 minutes to zone 2, 5 minutes to zone 3, 5 minutes.
What you will do is: At 8 AM zone 1 water for 5 minutes, at 8:05 turn off zone 1 and start zone 2 for 5 minutes, at 8:10 Turn off zone 2 and start zone 3. Total watering time is 15 minutes.
I hope I’ve helped

Alexander, you are our hero! Million thanks. It works exactly as you describe, and then, programming the device is comfortable and easy. We are very happy.
May I suggest that an explanation is added to the manual: There is only one zone operated at the same time. If an identical starting time is set for several zones, these are operated consecutively for the set duration of each zone.
If I could just add for clarity that if multiple Zones are set at the same Start time then the Zones will operate sequentially starting with the lowest number to the highest Zone number. To set up a senario like yours, you can use the multi- zone programming feature which will allow you to set up multiple zones to the same configuration for each. Eg same start time and watering period.
