ESPLXD-ET Controller

MV Water Window

Sometimes you may want to use quick coupling valves or other manual 
watering methods during times when you are not irrigating. To ensure 
that these devices have water, you can set up an MV Water Window. The 
MV Water Window works the same way as other Water Windows, but 
instead of allowing irrigation it simply opens Normally Closed master 
valves (NCMVs) and allows a user-defined flow rate to coordinate with 
flow sensing.

Set Up MV Water Window
