does this device allow you to water a zone more than once a day at prescribed times? For example, I water my garden 2x/day morning &amp; eve. thanks

This system can be programmed to water any zone up to 4 times/day (or be turned off) independently of the other zones. You can only set the initial zone start time, the following times are done by the system's internal software. If you want to water specifically @ 6AM and 6PM (your example of AM/PM watering), for example - nope this unit won't do that. You can only set the initial start time not any of the following starts.

NO you can NOT set this to water on select days of the week like the Orbit Model 56544. Watering every 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. day, is not the same as watering every Monday and Wednesday. This device can water every second day which will mean it will water every other day regardless of the day of the week. Which also means that the watering day will eventually become a guess. REASON: The clock model in this device is not a clock/calendar. Hope that helps.

No. It's is a mechanical time. If you want to vary watering by day of the week, hour of the day and watering time you should look at electronic water timers that attach to your hose bib. Hope this helps. (BTW we suggest you go organic, reduce your lawn size and use native plants that require less water thereby minimizing your overall watering needs and work, too.)

Adapter yes. Daylight Savings comp., no. So if you're on clock-based watering restrictions you'll have to tweak it if you're watering during that changeover period to keep the water gestapo away...small potatoes.

You can set this timer to water every 6 or 12 hrs - or - every 1 day, every 2 days, every 3 days.... etc...to every 7 days. You cannot set a beginning date and ending date of one, two or three months. Because you can set how long the water runs... like 5 min or 20 min and combined with every day, or every other day - etc. I have been successful in using it to maintain my pool water level without the expense of a pool filling device that uses a float. I hope this helps you with your question. :-)

I don't see that option on mine. You can ask it to water more for hot temperatures and not water for cold temperatures. You can set non-watering months as well. With that said, I have done what you are asking simply by doing a rain delay via my phone. Having it on your phone makes a huge difference because for me because I can do it laying in bed the night before or whenever I think of it (even remotely). No going into the garage, etc. Also keep in mind that this device is essentially a computer (or more a phone since it is android OS). So even if you buy now, you are likely not only going to get the features that are in place today. They can upgrade the software to allow for that feature in the future. Granted, the emphasis is COULD ... up to the company, of course if they do or not.

There is no "daily function" ... this is a mechanical device that works like an old-fashion kitchen timer or mechanical alarm clock ... there are no batteries, no digital display, no date or clock function .. you must turn a knob to set the mechanical spring that sets the watering time. There is no "set it and forget function. You must actively set the timer every time you wish to use it. BTW, here in Texas, the State Legislature passed a bill requiring HOAs to allow xeriscaping ... many HOAs still require applications for "landscape modifications" but those applications cannot be reasonably denied. (Texas S.B. No. 198)

Yes you can select what days you want to water and how long. I also like that I can access my sprinklers from my smart phone any time that I want to change anything, or manually start a water cycle

I'm in agreement w/ B. Forest, to a degree. He's right about selecting programed watering by days of week per sequence, however, you can tweek this by reselecting a programed watering on another sequence. So, to properly answer your question, yes you can.

Yes, the watering schedule can be set up for individual days of the week. It takes some effort, though, as the schedule programming is not very user friendly.

The model I have can be set to water every day, every other day, every third day, etc. However, since the date is not programmed into the timer, it won't know if the day is odd or even. You could set it to every other day, but you would need to adjust it at the end of a 31 day month to keep it odd or even.

I have only had the need to water twice a day. I have 6 claber timers. I have them all set to water at specific times which don't over lap for consistent water pressure. They have worked perfectly on all my garden areas as well as lawn watering. They work fine even in the Texas heat.

This unit will allow you to water any day of the week you choose. Once you have set the days to water, it will be the same for every week until you program it differently. I run mine on a oscillating sprinkler

I Don't think so, as you can only set an interval between each watering but they are the same. I know I set mine for Tue, Thu, Sat but then must remember to turn off so it doesn't run on Mondays. With watering restrictions it is probably best to find one more programmable. I will have to do this also.

the unit has a front panel switch that lets it operate manually. You can select a zone and watering time, but cannot run any program.Refer to www.onpointeco.com/activeFiles/wp1000Manual.pdf

No. It's just a timer for a drip system. You set the amount of time you want the water on, time of day, and days of week.

I currently run 4 lines on mine, however they are not run simultaneously. 2 are daily soaker hoses for my gardens. A 3rd is for when I need to manually water (hanging plants, etc) and the 4th is for when I am away for extended times. I set it up to water those 'hanging plants' by stacking the planters and putting a sprinkler on the top one. Simply you answer is yes. It runs the 2 soakers without any problem and when I have 3 simultaneously, it seems to work just fine.
