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.

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. 

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.

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

Save water in the yard

Water is an important natural resource we use every day. Watching howmuch water you use for showering, brushing your teeth and cleaning your house helps save water.

People often overlook the amount of water used outdoors. From washing your car to watering your yard, you may be wasting water outdoors.

Conserving water outside is not only good for the environment, but it is also good for your pocket book. There are several ways you can easily conserve water without losing your lush lawn or a bountiful garden. Here is how to implement them into your yard

For sure you could realize how much water you’re using when doing the outside activities by applying for a reliable and convenient device which could calculate the water volume for  every time use and accumulate to total water volume for several times use.

1.Watering Your Lawn

Only water your grass when it needs it. To test, step on the lawn. If the grass springs back up, you don't need to water. If it remains flat, water it by letting the water soak down deep into the roots. A quick way to know whether you have applied enough water to your yard is to place an empty tuna can on your lawn. Water until the can is full. Also, let your grass grow to at least 3 inches tall. This promotes water retention in the soil.

Water during the most effective time of the day. Watering during the hot hours of the day--between 10 and 3--makes the water evaporate before it can be of use to your lawn. Watering during cooler parts of the day helps your lawn to get more water, so you will need to water less.

Cut a plastic soda bottle in half. Bury it upside down halfway into the ground beside your plant. Instead of watering the entire surface area of your garden, fill the bottles beside each plant. The water goes directly to the root system and not to unused soil in the garden, cutting down on water usage and weeds.


Washing Your Car

When washing your car, fill a bucket with soapy water, then turn off the hose. Clean the car then turn the water back on for rinsing. For more efficient water use, attach a spray nozzle to your water hose and use it for rinsing. Another way to save water when washing your car, is to use a waterless car-washing system. Check your local auto parts or retail store for brands and pricing.

Cleaning the Outside of Your House

When cleaning the outside of your house, use a power washer or spray nozzle on your hose. These devices will clean your house quicker and you won't waste as much water. Power washers are available at equipment rental centers and home improvement and hardware stores. Also, do not clean the outside of your house more often than once a year.

Watering your Lawn and Garden with more efficient way to save water...

The great civilisations of history know the importance of irrigation. From the Egyptian communities of the Nile, Babylon and Rome they all built cisterns, reservoirs and canals to bring life giving water to their communities.

Take care your potted plants with water timer - WT-058

Not every one could own a big garden with wide lawn. However they could also enjoy the green life with the potted patio plants. Potted patio plants are beautiful to look at and a way to decorate outdoor living spaces. The biggest problem with potted outdoor plants is that the soil dries out much quicker than plants in the ground or even indoor potted plants. While you can monitor the moisture levels when you're at home, taking a vacation presents a problem. To resolve this, set up your own automatic watering system to keep the patio plants alive until you return.

1.       Attach an electronic water timer to the end of an outdoor water faucet by screwing the nut until it is tight. Use the instructions provided with the timer to set it to come on for one or two hours each morning.

It depends on the real situation, you could water from 1 to 199 minutes according to your needs with WT-058. Do not forget to set the watering weekdays from Monday to Sunday. Under some conditions, you don’t have to water the potted plants everyday.

For example, to water the plants one hour in the morning on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Set run time 60 minutes in the morning, set the cycle time for 1 day and the working day on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, the timer will star to water in the morning for one hour and restart again in the next programmed day.  

2.       Attach a soaker hose to the bottom of the water timer.

3.       Stretch the soaker hose around to the nearest patio plant pot and wrap it loosely around the plant. Push the hose down so that it sits on top of the soil inside the pot.

4.       Stretch the soaker hose to the next patio plant and repeat the procedure to insert the hose into the pot. Continue using this method until the hose is wrapped around each plant that requires watering.

5.       Return to the water faucet and take the water panel from the timer, you could set it in your comfortable place. Connect the panel to the body and start the programmer. There is a cover to protect the LCD screen, if you need to check the watering time, just open the cover and see the digital screen.
