I have a manual DIG which is limited in programming days. I need to water trees every 5 or 6 days. Will this model let me program that?

Yes, with this DIG you can program which days you would like to water your trees. Then for each day you can choose up to three different time settings. I had my first DIG for over nine years. It worked great! Good luck.

The manual and the digital versions are not exactly the same. The old manual version will water every 3, 4, 7, or 14 days. The closest you can do on the digital version is selecting which days of the 7 day calender week you want to water on. Not quite as versatile as the old version. Both version are still available.

The model 9001d will water from 1 minute to 11 hours up to 4 times daily seven days a week per the package description.

When you program this unit, you select which days of the week you want the set program to run. So running the watering program every x days is not an option unless you want the watering program to run once every 7 days (same day of the week each week).

I'm in agreement w/ B. Forest, to a degree. He's right about selecting programed watering by days of week per sequence, however, you can tweek this by reselecting a programed watering on another sequence. So, to properly answer your question, yes you can.

No, there is only a timer that is set by "every day", "every 2 days", "every 3 days", and so on. Makes it pretty inconvenient for areas with watering restrictions on certain days of the week. What I do is set it for "every 7" days. I can turn the timer on the night before to go off in the morning for an hour or so and at the end of the day when I'm back from work, I turn the timer off. Every time you turn it back on, it resets your day one.

The model I have can be set to water every day, every other day, every third day, etc. However, since the date is not programmed into the timer, it won't know if the day is odd or even. You could set it to every other day, but you would need to adjust it at the end of a 31 day month to keep it odd or even.

You get to set the number of seconds that the pump will operate at one time, and the number of times per day it will pump for that period of time. The amount of water pumped to each plant depends on how many plants you are running water to. Keep in mind that plants that are higher will get less water, and if a plant is below the water reservoir there is some probability that you will siphon water in addition to pumping it, or even just end up with a continuous siphon. You can use rechargeable batteries if you like, but regular batteries might last longer before having to replace the batteries.

Yes. The operation manual says "The line is programmable to release water up to two times a day on any or all days of the week, for duration ranging from 1 minute to 23 hours and 59 minutes." I have mine connected to a freeze free spigot and leave the spigot open all the time allowing the Claber to turn on and off as necessary. It works very well, and 1 9v battery lasts all season. Only caution is if you live in a cold climate, make sure to disconnect the Claber and take it indoors before the first freeze.

Yes, and it gets better than that. For rainy days, you can either add a rain sensor or manually set a rain delay. Unlike simply turning off the system, it will resume program after the prescribed rain delay (in 6 hour increments, IIRC). And yes, manual control on this system cannot be any simpler. Switch to manual and turn on the zone. One of the best upgrades to the house I've made, and for an excellent price I was able to combine two separate systems (front and back yards were done at different times with two different units, pain, this solved that problem as well).

I haven't tried that particular programming yet, but it should. Just carefully follow the programming instructions and when you come to Friday on at 5 PM, then skip days to the next off at 4 AM Monday. It should then repeat that programming by the week.

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.

Yes you can choose the days you want to water on, it is very easy to set up. I have purchased 2 of these units now, 1 for my raised veggie boxes and glass house and the other side of it for my fruit trees. The other unit is for the flower gardens around the front of my house and the other side does my front garden. Very pleased with the units. I also purchased a single unit for my herb gardens. Happy watering

Hi JacobSorry for the delay in getting back to you but I wanted to be 100% sure of my answer.You definitely can run all zones with a single start. Although I had done it a couple of times myself this past summer, I went to the owner's manual to confirm. All you need to do is press the "right" pointing arrow button for 2 seconds and the controller starts watering per your program. Good luck.

Hello Dan. You basically can set an hour of the day and for how long you want the system running. After the setting, you decide how often the watering will happen: everyday, for instance, at the hour set or each other day if you prefer to do so. The program will run indefinetelly and can be adjusted manually (suspended on a rainny day, for instance). When the season changes, you can reprogram the equipment, what in fact is really easy.

There is no "daily function" ... this is a mechanical device that works like an old-fashion kitchen timer or mechanical alarm clock ... there are no batteries, no digital display, no date or clock function .. you must turn a knob to set the mechanical spring that sets the watering time. There is no "set it and forget function. You must actively set the timer every time you wish to use it. BTW, here in Texas, the State Legislature passed a bill requiring HOAs to allow xeriscaping ... many HOAs still require applications for "landscape modifications" but those applications cannot be reasonably denied. (Texas S.B. No. 198)

Yes you can select what days you want to water and how long. I also like that I can access my sprinklers from my smart phone any time that I want to change anything, or manually start a water cycle

Yes you can! I programmed mine to be ready at a certain time every morning and it works beautifully! It also keeps the water at the same temperature (of your choosing) for 1 hour after the time you programmed it for. A helpful hint on using it is to use the instructions listed in the item description on Amazon as the booklet that comes with it was pretty confusing.

They mean you can program up to 6 different timing options. Meaning, in your case, that if you set it to come on at the same time every day, you still have 5 more programming options. I use it for my Christmas tree so that it comes on every night at 6pm, but I have my Program 2 set so that the tree also comes on Saturdays and Sundays at 10am and runs through the evening.

I would think so. You can program any time you like. You program the start and stop time separately so I'm pretty sure it would work for you.

Not specifically. You need to turn it on about the time you want it to go on for the next watering, let it run however long and then when it is done, set the timer for the next watering you want, i.e. 24 hrs, 36 hrs etc.
