Installing the irrigation system

You can position the product as you like and use
it to supply up to 36 plants with water. Cut the
hoses to appropriate lengths.
The thick hoses (5) connect the pump to the drip
distributors (10) and the narrow hoses (6) carry
the water from there to the plants.
There are three different drip distributors that
have a different flow rate per day:
A: 15ml/day – for plants that have a low water
requirement
B: 30ml/day – for plants that have a medium
water requirement
C: 60ml/day – for plants that have a high water
requirement
• You can use several drip hoses to water plants
with a very high water requirement (< 60ml/
day).
• Use saucers or planters to catch any excess
water.
• If you don’t know how much water your plants
need, consult specialist shops, specialist literature
or the internet.

Preparing for assembly

1. Group your plants according to their water
needs. Be aware that the water requirements
of your plants may change if they are moved
to a new location.
2. Cut the hoses (5 and 6) as required. Make
sure that you cut the hoses straight at the
connection points (Fig. B).

Connecting drip distributor (Fig. C-E)
1. Slide a screw sleeve (7) over the thick hose
(5).
2. Slide the hose (5) over one of the three connections
on the pump (3).
3. Tighten the screw sleeve (7).
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other two connections.
Note: If you don’t want to use all the connections,
screw a cover cap (8) onto each unused
connection.
4. Slide a screw sleeve (7) onto the other side of
the connected hose (5).

5. Slide the hose onto the drip distributor (10)
connection.
6. Tighten the screw sleeve (7).
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the other two connections.

Connecting drip distributor to plants (Fig. F-G)
1. Slide the thin hose (6) over one of the connections
on the drip distributor (10).
2. If you don’t want to use all the connections,
put a cover cap (9) onto each unused connection.
3. Insert a hose bracket (11) vertically at the
point where you want to water a plant.
4. Slide the hose (6) into the opening on the
hose bracket (11) so that the hose is pointing
downwards.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until all plants are connected
to drip distributors.

Using the irrigation system
• Make sure that the water tank is always filled
with sufficient water.
• If the plants are placed lower than the water
level in the water tank, water may leak out.
Make sure that the plants are elevated
(Fig. H).
1. Check how much water your plants require for
the time you will be away. Remember that the
actual amount of water needed will be slightly
more due to possible evaporation. If the water
tank supplied is not large enough, use a
larger container, e.g. a large bucket.
2. Fill the water tank (1) with sufficient water.
3. Place the pump (3) on the bottom of the water
tank (1). The pump must be level.
4. Connect the pump (3) cable to the power unit
(4) cable.
5. Close the water tank (1) with the cover
(2). Ensure that the hoses and the cable go
through the openings provided.
6. Plug the power unit (4) into a socket. The control
indicator on the power unit lights up green
and irrigation starts for one minute.
7. Check all hoses, particularly the hose connections,
for leaks.

Note: The power unit has a built-in timer. Automatic
irrigation will repeat daily at the same time
that the power unit is connected.
8. To stop automatic irrigation, disconnect the
power unit (4) from the socket.

Disassembling the irrigation system
1. Disconnect the power unit (4) from the socket.
2. Take the pump (3) out of the water tank (1).
3. Unscrew the screw sleeves (7) from the pump
(3) connections and remove the hoses (5).
4. Unscrew the screw sleeves (7) from the drip
distributor (10) connections and remove the
hoses (5).
5. Remove the hose brackets (11) from the plants
and remove the hoses (6).
6. Remove the hoses (6) from the drip distributors
(10).
7. Make sure that all parts are completely dry
before they are stored.

Storage, cleaning
When not in use, store the product in a clean,
dry place at room temperature.
Clean with just a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
IMPORTANT! Never use harsh cleaning agents.
• Disconnect the product from power before
cleaning.
• Do not use a high-pressure cleaner.
• Do not use aggressive or solvent-based cleaning
agents, metallic sponges or stiff brushes.
• Unscrew the lower part of the pump (3) and
remove the filter. Clean the filter under running
water and replace it. Re-tighten the lower part
of the pump (Fig. I).
• Moisture must be kept out of the pump and
the power unit. If moisture does penetrate,
discontinue use of the product.

Determining water requirement

You can determine the total water requirement of your plants during your time away with a simple calculation.
Water requirement in ml =

x 15ml
+ x 30ml
+ x 60ml
x number of days
= number of plants with low (15ml), medium (30ml) and high (60ml) water requirement
Example:
Water requirement in ml =
8 x 15ml
+ 5 x 30ml
+ 3 x 60ml
x 10 = 4.500ml
For a 10-day absence, you need 4.500ml of water (= 4.5l).
