Automatic
The pump will run for your chosen minutes, and then turn off. It will run again after your chosen hours (from the start of the previous pump cycle).
The pump will not run automatically within 10 minutes of you first turning on the system, to give you time to check that hoses and pipes are in place and there will be no leaks.
The pump will only run when lights are on, so the first pump time of the day will coincide with the turning on of the lights. Plants drink more when they are transpiring under light, and do not generally need watering at night. This is also to prevent pump noise at night.
Suggested settings: 15 minutes every 12 hours (once a day).
Manual / override mode
To turn the pump ON manually (such as when testing), or to turn the pump OFF (such as during cleaning), connect to the wifi control panel and choose OFF or ON. Pump will remain OFF or ON until set back to AUTO. Pump mode is retained through power cycles.
