How to Set up a Gardena Water Control Select

[@ahmedibrahim7490]

can you set the frequency of watering in a program? ie: can I water twice a day?

[@tin2009tin]

You program p1 for the first watering and you program p2 for the second.... I know, too complicated

Hi guys, how long does it allow for manual override watering? Can you set it for more than 1hr?

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

@Annualspy thanks for your comment. You can set manual watering for a maximum of 59 minutes.

a question, does the set need 0.5 bar to work ? or can there be less pressure?

[@Gardena-WorldofWatering]

Hi Jiri, are you referring only to the Water Timer? The Timer is not dictated by pressure, Gardena Irrigation systems are however. Let me know if you have further questions and we'll endeavour to help

It is impossible to set watering in sequences not based in the seven days of the week. For example it Is impossible to set watering every 2nd of 3rd or 4th day etc. So if you want to water every 2nd day you can program it to water on mon, wed, fri and Sunday but after sunday it will water on mon, et etc..... it is not good at all. Orbit's or cellfast's models do not have such limitations

Hi tin2009tin thanks for your comment. You are right that you cannot set a fequency on this timer for a 2nd or 3rd day, this timer is tailored to users who specifically want to select days to water on, perhaps if certain days of the week there is no one to water the garden. The Gardena Control Flex does have the function you want with being able to set watering every 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours. Unfortunately you are limited to the one watering cycle for the frequency you have set. I.e you cannot water more than once in a single day, but only every 48 hours.

​@@Gardena-WorldofWateringSo you suggest to buy one more Gardena system that have that capability but then I will have to buy a third Gardena system that combines all the necessary attributes it I have to change the systems every day or every second day..... I do not know if you care aware that we, I mean that people that buy such equipment, we do do it because it is impossible to be present so we water our plants by ourselves.... If I knew it Gardena select or any Gardena watering equipment wouldn't be my choice.... It is so disappointing , because you are the most expensive stuff

Hi @@tin2009tin - Apologies if this does not suit your needs. As a retailer of Gardena we have created videos like this one so everyone can see the capabilities of the timers before they purchase. We are not suggesting buying another timer if you already have one you are using, we are just letting you know another timer does have a feature you were interested in (1, 2 and 3 day intervals). There isn't a third I would suggest in this case. If you purchased from ourselves already or are looking to make a future purchase, please feel free to send me an email if you want to discuss your needs in more detail [e-mail] - you can address it to me, Tom.
