Water Timer

For the first time to use, the water won't stop even when the timer is off,what should i do?

That's because we do water testing for every single valve when manufactured. After a period time of shipping and storage, the water in the valves has been evaporated, and silicone diaphragms inside the valves are stick together.
Please manually turn on and turn off the valve (long press OK button for 5 seconds) for 7-10 times, then the device will get everything back to normal.
If you still have trouble with water shut-off or other issues, please contact me at support@rainpointonline.com directly and we will try our best to solve your problem.

WATER TANK PUMP TIMER

Leakage at the inlet or outlet

Push the pipe further to the end of the inlet or outlet, and if it is confirmed that the pipe has been pushed to the far end but is still leaking,please contact me at support@rainpointonline.com directly and we will try our best to solve your problem.

Excessive water output

  1. The water outlet line should be fitted with a drip line if possible to avoid excessive water discharge affecting plant growth.

Water pump operates but no water comes out

Put your hand on the water inlet or pumping mouth of the pump, feel whether there is suction or blowing force, if so, shorten the stroke of the water pipe (i.e. the length of the water pipe connected to a shorter, lower height from the water). If water is still not available, please contact me at service@rainpointus.com directly and we will try our best to solve your problem.

Water pump is pumping but shows lack of water

  1. The water inlet does not have a filter head, which causes the pump to have a low operating current and the system reports a water shortage.
  2. The pump may be faulty and not sufficiently airtight, causing its operating current to be abnormal and the system to determine a lack of water.

Insufficient water pressure

  1. Do not use the appliance too far away from pots and containers.
  2. Do not have too many pots or plants, preferably around 10.
  3. Not too high or too low from the container containing the water.
