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.

This particular timer does not go by days (it does let you set it to go on every 24, 48, or 72 hours though). I think it's strength lies in the minutes you set it for and every hour if you want. I use it for misters for that very reason. I'm thinking a different timer might be your best bet here.

Yes. Instead of using the pre-programmed combination of days (or the single day mode), simply put program 1 on one day, program two on another day (every other day if that is what you want), program three on another day, etc. This is a very accommodating unit - and easy to program. Since a normal week has SEVEN days, you will need to skip a day if you want it to repeat the same days each week. Otherwise, RE-program it every week!

You can program it which way you want. For example monday 2 pm tuesday 5 pm not on wednesday etc. :)

We run our system 24/7 so we have it on both. You just set the interval you want and the duration of each event.

Yes you can set different times for different days. I do that for a indoor lamp in living room now.

Seth , I have had this a number of years now. . I recall that you can program a couple seperate on off times but you can't zone those times . I believe you will need two seperate units or a second timer of some sort that would switch the zones . You will have to research that concept.

I haven't tried to program for every other week since mine is for my home but I do not believe you can. When you program it you can pick days of the week and times and duration but that is for each week.

we have it set for 3 times a day. with 28 slots, we refill it every 9 days(3 x 9 equalling 27 plus one additional time slot). i believe you can set it for 5 times a day. you will then need to refill it every 5 days(5 x 5 equaling 25 with three additional time slots leftover).

Yes you can, there are 20 separate programs that the timer will run. Each program can turn ON/OFF any day of the week.

I don't think you could use it that way. The alarm function is designed so it can be set for 5 separate times each day. Example: 6 AM, 10 AM, 2 PM, 6 PM, 9 PM.

I do not believe that two separate times can be set, but not sure. Recommend that manufacturer be contacted.

No. Each night you set it (one button push if you're keeping the same time) to go off the next morning or whenever. If you don't want it to go off on Saturday morning, just don't push that button the night before.

Yes. You have the choice of 5 same weekdays and 2 weekend days or 7 individual days.

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

The timer can be set for 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24, weekly so it should fit your requirement. To be sure, download the user manual from the manufacturer to confirm. Takes a complete cycle to activate, thus mine is set for daily and will only run the first time the next day. However, there is a manual override that can be set outside of the automated, so it works well. Had bought an older model that failed and Melnor replaced it with an advanced model and I bought two more because it worked so well. Great product and manufacturer from my perspective.

Yes it can be set for 1,2,3, or 4 times daily. You just set the times as you need to. We started at twice daily (morning and evening). Works great!
