EASY TO INSTALL

2 Ways to apply power for activating the pump

*1 Insert 4AA 1.5V alkaline batteries**

3. Firmly reinstall the battery cover back into the pupm.
4. Once the battery is powered on, the indicator will light up when you press button.

Note:

• Firmly restore the battery cover to ensure water resistance.
• When it is idle, please remove the battery and store it properly.

2 Plug in the cable of the UBS port

Note:

• High current support is required for pairing WiFi and accessing APP, so it is only available in USB cable-powered mode.
• WiFi pairing and APP access are not available in battery-powered mode only.
• Only manual watering is supported in battery-powered mode.
• When both power modes are used simultaneously, it will match the USB cable power first; when the USB cable is disconnected, the battery-powered mode is activated.

Determine the correct placemen

1. Please put the pump below the water level of the reservoir to effectively avoid the siphoning phenomenon.（The siphoning effect will cause the water leaking and over-watering problem）
   

2. The lift length of the water pump: the vertical distance of 2-3m, because the water pipe can not be placed 100% straight, we recommend that the height of the plants than the pump should not exceed 2.5m.
   

Connect the hose correctly

1. Cut the hose according to the distance of the device, the plant or you need

2. Put the head of hose into hot water for 10s or Put a little veggie oil on the end of the hose before connecting

3. Connect the hose to water inlet and outlet

4. Insert the other end of the hose connected to the water let of the pump into the filter, and then put it into the container.

5. Connecting the suitable barb fitting

6. If only the hose needs to be connected, you can use straight barb fitting

7. When you need to connect the hose while splitting a hose, you can use the “T” barb fitting

8. When you need to connect a hose while splitting 2 hoses , you can use the cross barb fitting

9. When water needs to be delivered to the soil, you need to use the micro drip emitte
   Tips:
   Loosen the soil first, then insert the drips at least 3 inches deep, which will help water enter the plant roots.

10. Connect a tubing end cap when you finished a branch installation

Installation completed and tested

1. Press the button to activate the pump, then the water will pumped to your plants.
2. Check if there is any leakage in the connection part of the hose. if so, it means no tightening, please keep tightening until there is no water leakage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Reset the router for a 2.4G channel and reconnect.
Too far between the pump and router, causing the signal unstable| Move the pump to a closer socket near the router and reconnect.
Not in the correct connecting mode| Unplug the USB cable and battery first and wait 10 Sec. Charge the pump with USB cable again, then hold down WiFi button until the indicator light flashes rapidly and enter pairing mode.
Uneven water flow| Too far away from pots and water containers or too long pipes can reduce the pump’s pumping efficiency.| The further away from the pump the potted plant is, the weaker the water flow will become. Please use some clamps to hold the first few branches so that the mainstream water can be delivered quickly and for a long time.
Hard to insert and remove water pipes| Because of the material, in order to make the pipe more durable.| Put the head of hose into hot water for 10s or Put a little veggie oil on the end of the hose before connecting.
Watering schedule not on time| The lack of water at the inlet resulted in the plan not being implemented on time.| Check that there is no lack of water in the container at the water inlet and that the pump does not carry out the watering schedule when there is a lack of water.
| There is no auto-run schedule set up on the APP side.| Once the plan parameters have been set, the plan will be executed automatically according to the parameters set by checking “Auto Run”.
| The water pump unexpectedly lost power and the plan was emptied.| The watering schedule needs

to be reset.
