Innovated Water Volume Timer

~Watering your life wisely~

Control the water irrigation by "accurate water volume"...... no more time period setting.

For example :
Watering one time a day (CYCLE TIME : 24 hrs)
If : TIME    6:00
     START 7:00
     Water Flow Volume 10 Lit.    <Unit for U.S. is Gallon ; for Europe is Liter>
     MIST CYCLE 30 %
     CYCLE TIME 1 DAY

Watering will begin at 7:00
Duration of watering time will be executed as :  <because mist cycle is 30%>
   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

Gardening faucet connector

Dear Home gardening lover, do you ever have problem to choose the faucet connector for the watering system?


As we know, threading faucet is very common is Europe and America area where people could thread the tap adapter directly to the faucet and connect to the hose. 
To the people in America, it's easier for them to just thread the threading connector of coil hose directly to the faucet. 


However for people live in Asia or other place, the faucet is usually without threading. If you want to introduce the quick connector system to the gardening, it's necessary to add the special device like universal connector that could allow the users for every quick connect device. Here is the simple demonstration:

No matter your Gardening Faucet is with or without threading, you could always find the proper faucet connector for your gardening to connect with the garden hose, sprinkler system and other water device you use to make your life better.

Water timer makes your hanging plants live well

Hanging plants are a challenge to water, especially if they are high or scattered across the garden and patio. To save yourself the trouble of having to lug buckets and watering cans or drag long stretches of garden hose to keep your hanging plants hydrated, consider installing an automatic watering system that will take care of the chore for you. The one-time installation will make sure all your hard-to-reach plants are regularly and adequately watered without fail. 


It's not difficult to set up!


Go with Yi Zuo's professional water timer

~Things You'll Need~

Measuring tape

Backflow preventer

1" Polyethylene tubing

1/4" Polyethylene micro tubing

Drip irrigation connectors

Hose connectors and end cap

Emitters

Water timer

Twist ties

~Step by Step~

1

Sketch the layout of the watering system. Draw the locations of the hanging plants relative to the water source.

2

Measure the distance between the water source and the farthest hanging plant to determine how long your main line (the 1-inch poly tubing) should be. Measure the heights of the hanging plants to determine the total length of the feeder lines (the 1/4-inch poly micro tubing) you will need. Depending on the locations of the plants, tap one feeder line to the main line and use it to water one hanging basket or branch out one feeder line to water several hanging plants at once.

3

Assemble the water system. Lay out the main line, attach the micro tubing lines to the main line, attach connectors to the micro tubing if branching out, then attach the emitters to the ends of the micro tubing. Attach hose connectors and end cap to the main line as needed.

4

Secure micro tubing feeder lines to the hanging baskets. Gravity and water pressure will eventually dislodge the emitters and micro tubing from the hanging baskets; twist ties will keep the tubing in place.

5

Connect the irrigation system to the water source. Attach the backflow preventer to the main line to ensure that water from the irrigation system does not flow back into the tap. Connect the water timer to the faucet to control the delivery of the water. Then attach the backflow preventer to the timer.

6

Test the water system. Turn the water on and check all the connectors and junctions for any leaks. Check the emitters for proper placement and effective watering, and take note if the water pressure is sufficient.

7

Set the timer. Choose the frequency and duration of the watering; the schedule should be adequate for all the hanging plants.

8

Check the water system regularly for clogged emitters, leaks and other maintenance issues.

Save Water with Water Timers

Here, I refer one good article and really glad to share to all of you. 

Water timers allow you to water your garden following a schedule even if you are not manually using the hose. Using these timers will give you more time on other things rather than standing on your garden with a hose on your hand.

How it works

These water timers are often powered by batteries where in you will set it on a particular time of the day. It will then water your plants the same time each day for a certain period of time. There are those who connect the water timer to a soaker hose. Soaker hose is a stationary device that waters the same area of your garden.

Maintenance for water timers

Since water timers are made of plastic it gets worn out eventually especially when it gets exposed to different types of weather. When the plastic cracks or when it appears like it’s almost going to break, you have to replace the device. The batteries used to power it also need to be replaced as necessary.

Advantage

When your automatic watering system is attached to a water timer, you no longer have to worry about forgetting to water your plants, can ensure that your plants get the right amount of water or having to have it done while you are away or at work.

Disadvantage

If water timers are not installed properly it can come off and can leave the water running. Good if you notice it right away but if you are away from your home for a vacation, you will be surprised with the huge bill you will be receiving. So, if you are using a water timer, make sure that all other items attached to it, such as the hose, is working properly to avoid experiencing problems with your garden irrigation system.

The benefits of DRIP IRRIGATION

Drip irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigating. While sprinkler systems are around 75-85% efficient, drip systems typically are 90% or higher. What that means is much less wasted water! For this reason drip is the preferred method of irrigation in the desert regions of the United States.

The benefits of drip irrigation:

- It is useful almost anywhere.

- Easy to install.

- Easy to design.

- It can be very inexpensive.

- It can reduce disease problems associated with high levels of moisture on some plants.

Drip irrigation (sometimes called trickle irrigation) works by applying water slowly, directly to the soil, bloop, bleep, bloop, bleep. The high efficiency of drip irrigation results from two primary factors. 

-1st: The water soaks into the soil before it can evaporate or run off.

-2nd: The water is only applied where it is needed, (at the plant's roots) rather than sprayed everywhere. While drip systems are simple and pretty forgiving of errors in design and installation. 

Satisfy your irrigation need by one device

We know different plant has different requirement for water demand. For instance, to take care the lawn and the flower nursery, you need to be aware of the different needs. You may need to water the lawn by sprinkler every morning to keep them green but no need to water too much for the flower bed especially when it is in the green house.

Therefore you need at least two water timer to help you for the watering tasks. But do you really need to buy two? Now there is the innovated water timer which combines two water timer into one. The 2-outlet timer is controlled by independent programmer which could set the water programmer for 2 zones. A great helper, isn’t it!

Take a look at Water Timer, WT-098 from Yi Zuo

Some Easy Steps for Setting:

1.    Attach the water timer on the faucet.

2.    Decide Zone 1 & Zone 2, take off the panel from the timer and put one new 9V battery.

3.    Set the run time and frequency for both zone 1 & zone 2. Attach the panel on the timer.

4.    Turn on the faucet, zone 1 & zone 2 will start to water according to the settings.

Benefit:

Save the cost.

The users could take care two different areas which may require different watering pattern by one water timer. Of course one water timer is less expensive than two timers.

The programmer is independent, that is WT-098 could be treated as two water timers but in one body.

Why to choose a high quality solenoid-valve water timer?

Reason 1 :

If the water pressure in your area is higher than 8 bars (116PSI), the mechanical water timer maybe not suitable to install on tap. Because the ball valve inside of mechanical water timer which drive ON/OFF is by a motor & gears. It’s not powerful enough to work at high water pressure.

Reason 2 :

In case, you need a long lifetime & durable water timer for your garden irrigation. You must choose the solenoid valve timer. It’s driven by copper wire coil & metal piston, performance over 10,000 times ON/OFF functional inspection by Yi Zuo (KANZ) company.

How to keep the garden sprinkler in good performance

Irrigating a home garden or lawn is a time-consuming job, it’s also exhausted your energy to care of every corner. Installing a sprinkler system will cut down the time you spend with a watering can in hand. Sprinkler systems run manually or on a timer that turns the sprinkler on and off at set times throughout the day. Clogs and garden activity can damage sprinklers. Troubleshooting properly prevents the need to rip up irrigation lines or scrap the entire system.

For the Above-Ground Sprinkler, here are some steps for you to check the sprinkler when it does not perform well.

1

Check the arm of the sprinkler to see if it is moving. Clean off any dirt or debris that may inhibit its movement. If it's broken, replace the sprinkler unit.

2

Inspect the hose for any leaks if puddles form in the yard or when the pressure of the water coming from the sprinkler is weak. Patch leaks with a hose patch kit.

3

Check the hose for any kinked areas, which may prevent water from coming through, and rearrange the hose if you find any.

4

Poke a pin through individual holes on the sprinkler to remove dirt if some holes are not spraying water.

Reminder

Inspect the sprinkler system at the beginning of the irrigation season for signs parts may be broken. Check for sprinklers sitting high out of the ground, tilted at an angle or those with broken plastic pieces.

Always inspect the position of sprinklers before mowing to prevent damage to the heads.

How To Install a Simple Drip Irrigation System

Drip irrigation doesn't just save water (and the money you pay for that water), it also saves time.

Here's How:

1.      Start with a small drip irrigation project: A vegetable garden laid out in rows or Shrubs around your house foundation can be watered efficiently with drip irrigation.

2.      Determine a water source: Any outdoor faucet can be used for an automatic drip irrigation system, provided you attach a Y-shaped valve hose connector as our PC-17 PLASTIC HOSE CONNECTOR WITH DUAL SHUT-OFF.

            Put it on upside down, so that the bottom of the "Y" attaches to the faucet. Attach one arm to the garden hose that will deliver water to the drip irrigation system. The other arm can be attached to an auxiliary garden hose for other watering needs.

3.    Start measuring: Draw a garden plan, showing the plants you want to water and how far apart they are. How much of hose length you need for your garden, you can also attach soaker hose for your little plant. Please see attached picture as our explanation.

         

     

4.    Gather your gear: You'll need a battery-operated timer for your drip irrigation system, which can be set like a clock to automate watering times. A pressure regulator / backflow valve is essential to prevent the drip irrigation water from backing up and ruining your household plumbing. Hose adaptors help, as do optional items such as a filter to keep rust and dirt out of the drip irrigation line and a fertilizer injector. Here attached are the pictures of attaching a WT-067 water timer with your garden tap, then to connect with PC-17 or PC-17 Hose Connector with Dual shut-off, then attached 3/4" or 1/2" Hose connector to connect hose or soaker hose as the figures as below:

   

    

5.   Assemble the drip irrigation lines first: Lay the hoses out in the sun to soften the plastic, so it's easier to work with. Cut the 1/4" hoses with scissors, and push the ends into the connectors to extend the lines toward your plants.

     

     

6.      Connect the flow from the faucet: Connect the remaining equipment from the tap in this order: Y-connector, timer, how connector, hose-thread adaptor, garden hose, soaker hose, sprinkler, and drip irrigation line. Your water supply is now linked to your drip irrigation system line. There are options of equipment for you to connect with, in accordance with your requirement. Please see the example as below figure:

     

7.      Test the drip irrigation system: Toggle the switch on the Y-shaped connector so water will run from the tap to your drip irrigation system. Set the timer on manual, and then set it to On. Turn on the tap. If you've done this correctly, you'll see the sprinkler start to spout like water dance. The other side of soaker hose will be properly drip water out to water your little lovely plant.

8.      Check for leaks: When you're satisfied with the water flow, turn the timer off but leave the tap turned on. You should hear the water stop running. This is the time to ensure there are no leaks between the tap and the other equipment. If there is leakage, you are probably using the wrong adaptor -–

9.      Set your automatic drip irrigation timer: Twenty minutes once a day is usually enough. Experiment with different amounts of watering time until you’re satisfied your plants are receiving adequate moisture.

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
