can I program this timer to water for 10 hours on a daily basis?

According to the instructions, the limit per watering session is 240 minutes. You could water for 150 minutes, four times per day, for a total of ten hours, but I expect that is not what you had in mind.

Since I haven't used my timer in the winter, I've forgotten specifics but I do know that it CANNOT be set to water for 10 hours at a time!! I believe it can only be set to water for 4 hours at a time.

Yes. It is very simple: There are two "buttons" for manual watering. One is labeled "water one zone now" - select the zone and push the button (and you can vary the time easily). The other button is labeled "water all now" - push the button and your entire water schedule is initiated.

You can't specify 8 hrs etc, but you can set it to do intervals by using schedule. For instance I water every other day at 6AM. By using the schedule you can program it to wTer every day at say ten and six, or monday thursday at ten and tuesday froday at six (36 in between). You can schedule more than obe time on one line, you just have to follow the rules spelled out in book that comes with

Yes, and you can program how many hours you want to run before the next filter change.

I think what you are asking is: can you have a pause between stations? Each station (there were 12 on my model) is programed independently of each other. For example, you set the time for station 1 to start watering at 5 AM for 15 minutes on odd number days. Then you can program station 2 to water at 6 AM for 30 minutes on odd days. and so forth, you set the time each station should start to water. In other words, by controlling the start to water time, you can design a pause between waterings to let the well re-charge. You could also have some stations water on odd days and other stations water on even days.

Device timer have 2 sets one is frequency, second one is watering time. Frequency of watering you can install from 2.4 hours ( set day to 0.1) thru 720 hours (set day to 30) Watering time may be set from 1 second to 99 seconds I'm watering weekly for 90 second 3 big plants and 2 small Timer set: day =7 , sec =90 Correspondingly timer will powering pump every 168 hours for 1 min 30 sec But you need different volume of water to different plant. You can resolve it by different way: - use 2 nozzles for every big plant and 1 nozzle for medium - split one pipe(nozzle) to two plant (you need create splitter for this) - make long pipe for small plants (read table in instruction) - or/and put them more higher then big one. In any case measure volume of water delivered by every pipe into jar by pushing test button and adjust to desired using methods above In my case used 1 nozzle for every big plant and one splitted nozzle for small plants that also stay one foot higher and have longer pipe

the directions you can set the water duration from 1 to 240 minutes. You can set the water frequency as every 6 hours, 12 hours, or from 1 to 7 days. Not sure if this will help you or not. I like the timer. We have them set up all over the property.

Sure - why not? Hook to hose - set timer - turn on water -Remember, it shuts off on time, not amount of water.

Do a search for a "Tabata Timer". Many, if not most, of those are programmable to alternate to suit your needs.

I am able to program each zone independently. i have some zones running three days a week and others on 2 days a week. albeit, only one zone can be watered at a time, so stagger your time allotments accordingly.

There is no timer. I just plug it in a little in advance. The water will be ready in around 10 minutes.

Joseph... the answer is NO! The timer can be set to start and stop "once" OR "twice" a day. The amount of time you want the water to run during the ONE or TWO sessions can be broke down to hours and minutes.

I believe so,just program the days you want the timer to work and set the times. I'm not aware of its accuracy as I use mine for my pool pump

I believe you can set 2 different programs per day, and as long as the batteries don't go dead it should work up to 3 months, but you will have to turn it off after 3 months or it will keep on going. I love this thing! Mine is set to come on every other morning for 30 minutes to turn on the sprinkler to water my grass, and it hasn't failed to come on or shut off yet.

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. :-)

There are two limitations the timer has in regards to your needs. 1. It can only be set to 16 max programmed settings. So u would only be able to set it for 16 out of 24 hours in the day. 2. The shortest program is 1 min. But if you are able to work with those limitations somehow, this is a dependable timer.

I do not know for sure, but believe it can not. I found it easy to program to come on once a day for 30 minutes. I will need to up that to twice a day in the future. From what I remember in reading other posts, its is programmable for 6 hour intervals only. Possibly you can find a contact number for the manufacturer/distributor and ask them the specifics that you desire.
