WaterMe will notify you with an alarm when an error has
occurred in the irrigation system.
1.
If the system is off and there is fl ow.
•
In this case all the valves are turned off and there is
still fl ow. For this particular case there is no action that
can be taken to control the outcome of the system.
You should isolate the mains water supply as quickly as
possible and then rectify the leak.
2.
If one of the zone valves has not shut off after a
watering cycle.
•
This error indicates that the zone valve is not shutting
off . You should investigate the issue immediately.
3.
If the fl ow rate whilst running in either manual mode
or schedule mode is outside the tolerance (set in “Flow
Rate Tolerance” in the settings page).
•
After the zone valve has activated during a watering
schedule, the controller will wait for 90 seconds before
analysing the fl ow rate. In many cases it may take some
time before the fl ow has stabilised, It is advisable to
set the calibration time to a minimum of 10 minutes to
ensure that an accurate average fl ow is measured.
