After a power failure, the unit seems to retain the watering schedule, but lose the date and time. Is that correct ?

Hi, Miachael,I have had the power go out before and did not have to change the time or date; the only time that I have changed it is for Daylight Savings.

No actual time setting only amount of time to water on every day, every other day and every third day. Suggest turning the unit on at the time you want to water and it should repeat on following days.

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

My controller hasn't lost power since its been installed so I'm not shore but troubleshooting notes can be found at the hydrawise website http://hydrawise.com/support

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.

Hi Lola - The way it works is that there are a set of 6 "programs" or watering on/off times. All 6 run during the same 24 hour day, and you can decide which days will run those programs. So, for example, if you set up 4 of the 6 programs, you can decide which days run them, but whichever days you select will all have to run the exact same programs. You can NOT have different programs run on different days. I hope that helps.

Below is what the tech specs say about loss of power. There is no replaceable battery that I see. I suspect it the local time is saved via a capacitor type back up and the other settings are stored permananetly any time you set them. I have only reset mine once and that was because I wanted the light to come on later because of holiday deco's on the porch. Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved.

Depending on your program setup you will have 15 -20% on standby it will go into regeneration at your desired time. That's normally 2 or 3 in the morning when water usage is nill.

You turn the dial to the desired watering length and day interval AT THE TIME YOU WANT IT TO WATER. The timer will then operate at that time. For example, if you want to water at 4:00 AM, you'll have to get up at 4:00 AM and turn it on the first time.

Yes. It operates by a 'spring' that becomes operational when you rotate the dial to the to set the desired watering time. Even with no water flow, I can rotate the dial and hear a 'ticking' noise inside of the device and the dial will eventially rotate back to zero -- even if it's not connected to anything.

I had that problem once; but it was due to a brief loss of power to the device. I have never had it reset a specific time while continuously powered.

I have had that problem in the past. I let it dry for a few days and sometimes it works but often times it does not. I just replace the unit. Not a good solution, but it is a solution.

I have this hooked up to a server and when the power goes out, this unit doesn't. There is no time lost (so far).

The unit maintains all settings during a power failure up to 4 hours. After 4 hours all you need to reset is the time of day. You will need a deep wall box to install this controller.

That unit may just need to be reset. Contact Enphase directly and get their advice. Thanks ML SOLAR

If your timer does not have a battery back-up, then you would need to program the correct time again. The feeder will still feed once the power comes back on, it will just feed at a different time but the same amount as you set.
