How to set up a Gardena Control Master

[@jannu9541]

Hi, if we setup for whole week does it continue every week on a month or else we need to set up for every week for all days if we need to

Hi, is there a way to have the manual watering continue for more than 1 hour?

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

Hi @amygehrmann4346 Unfortunately there is no way to do more than 60 minutes of manual watering in one go. If you want to water longer than this in one go and have available space on the timer, it might be a good idea to add in an additional schedule for a longer period of watering and then adjust this as you need it, switching it on and off and changing the time you need this for.

You can't set more than one watering for the line. Or change the time on other days

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

Hi @thegod6083 Thanks for your comment. You are correct, on each line you can set just one watering period per day and this will come on at the same time every day it is set it for. If you were not using all lines, you could connect one of the unused outlets on the distributor to a line you need watering more than once in a day. You could then set this additional line to to water your destination for an additional period in the same day. Best wishes World of Watering

How come I can't delete anything

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

Hi @bluedog9601 Go into the menu at the top of the timer and then click the "Delete Schedule" option. Or if you want to do a complete reset, press and hold both the dial and the manual watering button (the tap icon) at the same time and hold for 10-15 seconds.

I'm so confused by how this distributor works. It says that "Line 1 and 2 are always open".. however that is not correct as they clearly are NOT always open! As far as I can understand, the distributor can only keep one line open at the time, and that is the number that is displayed in the little window...? Because if it says "3" in the little window, then it will only distribute water to line 3, and NOT to line 1 or 2. Additionally, the flow switches seems to have no effect what so ever. For example, if the water flows out of line 3 and I flip the flow switch for line 3, nothing changes. And none of this is explained in either the manual or any video tutorial.

When they say lines 1 and 2 are always open. They mean they can not be disabled from the rotation. The minimum channels that can be run on the mechanical distributor is 2. Because otherwise you wouldn't need to have it connect. So you can run a rotation of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 hose outlets. You are correct that only one outlet will run water at a time. This is regarding the small levers and caps that completely block off outlets. Hope that's clear and helpful 👍

[@coen555]

You need to install the gray outlet blocking caps when disabling outlets on the distributor. Very important 😀

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

Hi @ribtin, Thanks for your comment. @Coen555 has got it correct here. Just one outlet is used at a time but outlets 1 and 2 always have to be included in the cycle. When setting your watering channels you can use 1, 2 and then a option of channels 3. 4. 5 and 6. When "closing" a channel, this just means that it will be skipped by the distributor when watering is activated.

This came with an operators manual without steps on page 8, a useless QR code instead taking you to a page not existing anymore. And even better, they don’t really to genuine questions with actual answers. It is indeed a joke

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

Hi, would you like to ask us your query to see if we can help?

[@Test-id6ns]

How do you install it on a tap? Are you guys joking?

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

No joke, this is a very serious timer!

[@Hilogogo360]

Didn’t answer the issue. A bloody joke

[@conradchester]

If you can't figure that out yourself, then maybe you should just stick to manual watering
