If you manually start watering, does it step through each zone or do you have to manually start each zone separately?

You can run all zones or each one individual, where you have to turn it to the zone you want. It will run for 10 minutes and shut off

You can do both. If you want to manually water all zones, leave the dial on "Auto Run" and press the "water all now" button and at that moment all your zones would be watered according to the minutes you had set for each zone. It also waters each zone separately if you Do Not want all the zones to be turned on. All you have to do is turn the Dial to the Zone you want to turn on and press the "Water One Zone Now" button. It also lets you choose the amount of minutes to be watered.

If you program it so the zones are timed to come on the same day,but a several minutes apart ( I put 5 minutes between ending one zone and starting the next one) it will run without needing to manually start each zone.

I have one zone with a small drip setup for my potted plants. It only runs for about 4 min. Once a week. So far no problems.

the unit has a front panel switch that lets it operate manually. You can select a zone and watering time, but cannot run any program.Refer to www.onpointeco.com/activeFiles/wp1000Manual.pdf

This Gardena timer is probably the best manual timer on the market. Perfect for one watering at a time! You'll need a programmable timer, and I've tried those ones at Lowe's and Home Depot only to return them as they leaked and dripped.

Yes, it works just as well and is easier. It starts working as soon as it is watered in.

It is as Enrique A. Cordero has stated ie the day you set up the timer is day 1, so if it is a Monday when you set it up then 1 will be Monday, day 2 will be a Tuesday and so on. Any one of the numbered days (1-7) or some or all can be set as a watering day/s. The video is very informative!

Yes you can turn on any zone from the front panel of the WaterPoint controller. You can also turn the controller off from the front panel (but can override the off switch remotely via your phone, tablet or computer; in case you are away, the switch is off, and you want to resume watering).

Make certain all your settings are correct. Each zone must be completely set. I set one side for 1 a day. The other I leave off so I can use it when needed for hand watering. I can go away for a week or two and it waters my hanging baskets everyday. I love it. It does take a little getting used to.

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).

Yes you can. In the watering settings you can have the zone water in up to 4 times a day by selecting it in the different watering cycles.

This system can be programmed to water any zone up to 4 times/day (or be turned off) independently of the other zones. You can only set the initial zone start time, the following times are done by the system's internal software. If you want to water specifically @ 6AM and 6PM (your example of AM/PM watering), for example - nope this unit won't do that. You can only set the initial start time not any of the following starts.

Not manually, but you can control the intensity of the pressure you put on the steps. It is a good starter.

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.

Technically you can set them all to go off at the same time but I find the water pressure isn't what I need to do that in my garden. So... I run each zone or two at different times. Hope that helps answer your question.

Depends on what you're growing. I water with nutrients every other watering. Plus the box has stage by stage portion guide

No it is not self watering. It can be set up with a drip irrigation system, if not, the time between watering will be affected by several factors - How dry/humid is the climate? sunny and low humidity requires more watering. What type of soil or soil mixture did you fill the pot and how full? an all-Pro mix dries out quicker than a Pro-mix, compost, and some bark mulch. How big are the plants in the pot? bigger plants require more water than little ones and if you have a large plant vs small pot you will water frequently.
