The water timer which could reduce your bill and save your money!

Water timers are wonderful time saving inventions that can be purchased for as little as forty dollars or less. 

They enable you to set a predetermined schedule for a sprinkler to come on or to feed soaker hoses.

Plants thrive best when they are watered regularly. What causes shock to many bedding plants is too much cycling of dry and wet soil.

A water timer keeps you beds the same moisture all of the time, allowing roots to grow deeper, reducing water use.

You may want to start off at one time setting and gradually reduce it over the coming weeks as the soil loads up with moisture.

Keep the water timer out of direct sun or place some kind of shade over it since direct sunlight can shorten the life of the plastic housing and the batteries as well.

And …..
Battery irrigation timers are the most popular method for automatic watering, due to their easy programming and their reliability.

Check out our VOLUME WATER TIMER OF WF-8LCD.
-The power starts with 9V battery.  
-Special and different from other water timers is, if you have specific idea about how much water you want to use 
 only per day for watering your lawn or garden, the water timer has the options of 1~999 Liter/Gallon you can
 choose to set up. And from Mon ~ Sun whenever the day you need to water….
  
For example:
Watering one time a day (CYCLE TIME : 24 hrs)
If : TIME               6:00
   START              7:00
   Water Flow Volume    10 Lit (or Gal)     <for U.S. is Gal. / for Europe is Gal.>
   MIST CYCLE        30 %
      CYCLE TIME        1 DAY
   Watering will begin at 7:00
   Duration of watering time will be executed as :
       Waters 3 Lit/Gal, stop for 10min
       Waters 3 Lit/Gal, stop for 10min
       Waters 3 Lit/Gal, stop for 10min
       Waters 1 Lit/Gal, then stop

   <Total spend 30mins for STOP and watering times for 10 Lit./Gal.>
   The next START TIME will be renewed as 7:00 (7:00 + 24hrs) on the following day. So, CYCLE TIME : 1 DAY means watering one time a day.
   So, build-in programmed CYCLE TIME is 1 hour which calculated by programmer automatically.
   However, if CYCLE TIME set as 1 HR, which means that the START is sequentially shown 7:00, 8:00,
 9:00, 10:00……….. Which, also means watering 1 time per hour and repeats.
 Under such situation “CYCYLE TIME set up 1HR”, if watering time plus stop period longer than 1hour totally, the next START time till be delayed 1hour automatically.

 Basing on such rule, watering more than 1 time a day is shown as following table :

 Number of watering times           CYCLE TIME to be set    
1                          1 DAY
2                          12 HR
3                           8 HR
4                           6 HR
6                           4 HR
8                           3 HR
12                           2 HR
24                           1 HR
