Can I set one valve to be open all the time, except four times a day when the second valve is set to run 10 mins? Hope to divert aquaponic water.

No.....both valves work together.. on or off.........the 3 valve unit has a separate manual valve that can be left on, but is NOT controlled by the timer.

By the photo Amazon included in communication to us, you are looking at Orbit's two valve timer. Our review is based on their 3 valve timer, which is barely any more $ and is what will definitely do what you need it to to. You see, with both models the left most outlet is controlled ONLY by the manual handle you see on the left most side of the product! With TWO timer-controlled outlets your scenario is accomplished and even have a manual outlet if needs be! Bill & Gala

The unit could be set to run as you describe. It has the capability of running 3 times daily on each outlet. Also, you can set for every other day operation as you describe say 36 hours. Downside is that if you set for every other day operation, that controls both outlets. Hope this helps.

Yes. One can set the water frequency to: 8hr, 12hr, 24hr and every 2 days, 3 days, and 7 days (i.e., once a week). It is very reliable. We have ours set at every 24 hr.

You will need to plug it in to a timer if you want it on a schedule. Without a timer, this regulator is either on or off. You can adjust the flow rate, but that is all.

Yes you can. I suggest having two tanks with a bypass regulator for uninterrupted service. One tank empties, switch bypass to full tank and fill up empty tank at your leisure.

Hello Dan. You basically can set an hour of the day and for how long you want the system running. After the setting, you decide how often the watering will happen: everyday, for instance, at the hour set or each other day if you prefer to do so. The program will run indefinetelly and can be adjusted manually (suspended on a rainny day, for instance). When the season changes, you can reprogram the equipment, what in fact is really easy.

Yes you can! I programmed mine to be ready at a certain time every morning and it works beautifully! It also keeps the water at the same temperature (of your choosing) for 1 hour after the time you programmed it for. A helpful hint on using it is to use the instructions listed in the item description on Amazon as the booklet that comes with it was pretty confusing.

I have the version that operates 4 valves (stations) sequentially. Check which version you are ordering.

You can run individual zones on the timer up to 4 times a day. It also allows you to manually water any zone now by setting the zone you want, and pushing the "water zone now" button.

No you can only set one interval for watering and 1 duration of watering up to 3 hours long

Yes. However, the water pressure is compromised in both zones when you do this. I run mine one right after the other and it works great!

This would not be a problem for the pump, but you would need a controller panel for it where you could schedule any change in speed and simultaneously control any valves that might need to be opened or closed. I would call their technical customer service. My phone call to them after a long wait was more helpful than I anticipated.

Yes make sure pump timer is set to proper am or pm and running. Second that valve is installed properly under the sink. If this does not work do an exchange for a new valve.This is my second unit i have installed myself and instructions are very clear never had any problems.

A and B are programs, not stations. One cannot set different watering schedules for different stations. This may be the only drawback of the Timer.

Yes. Easily. I turn off the timer during the rainy season, and routinely change the battery on the first day of each Spring. We take extended vacations during the summer. The time is very reliable and easy to program for drip irrigation.Hope that answers your question.

The timer can control up to six valves. But it is intended to operate them sequentially. Not more than one at any one time.

Sorry for being late, but here is my answer: The time per zone is not limited but the unit will surely not deliver enough power to supply more than solenoid valve zone at a time. By design the zones are powered one after the other. Every zone has its own start time and I do not think there is provision for overlap of zone, although I have not tried . My water well pump would not be powerful enough anyway..
