Before You Start

1. Charge the pump

Connect the included Type-C cable to the pump.

Use: DC 5V / 1A adapter

When fully charged, the battery icon remains displayed.

2. Position the pump correctly

Do not place the pump below the water level in the container.

Correct placement helps prevent:

• Siphoning
• Leakage
• Over-watering

3. Keep the height difference within limits

The applicable height difference is: ≤ 2.5 m (8.2 ft)

4. Connect tubing correctly

Recommended connection:

Water Container
→ Filter
→ Pump Inlet
→ Pump Outlet
→ Anti-siphon Valve
→ Main Tubing
→ Branch Tubing
→ Micro Drip Emitters

5. Install the anti-siphon valve correctly

The valve must follow the water-flow direction.

Incorrect installation may cause backflow or watering issues.

6. Release air before installing end plugs

Allow water to flow from the tubing end first.

Then install the end plug.

This helps prevent trapped air from affecting water flow.

7. Test the system before use

Before setting automatic watering:

1. Turn the dial to ON.
2. Short press the Manual button.
3. Confirm water reaches plants.
4. Check all tubing connections for leaks.
