Limited Two Year 

Warranty

WaterGreat LLC warrants to its customers that its 
WaterGreat SR series

 

products will be free from defects in 

materials and workmanship for a period of two years from 
the date of purchase. We will replace, free of charge, the 
defective part or parts found to be defective under normal 
use and service for a period of up to two years after 
purchase (proof of purchase required). We reserve the right 
to inspect the defective part prior to replacement. 
WaterGreat LLC will not be responsible for consequential 
or incidental cost or damage caused by the product failure. 
WaterGreat LLC

 

liability under this warranty is limited 

solely to the replacement or repair of defective parts.  To 
exercise your warranty, return the unit to WaterGreat LLC 
with a copy of the sales receipt.  

YOU ARE 

IMPORTANT TO US.  We will work with you to 
provide reduced pricing for any units under five 
years.

3) Allow the garden area to absorb the good 
watering at each outlet overnight, so that the soil 
is wet but not over-watered.

4) The next day make a note of the number of 
blinks on the controller.  This gives you the 
current soil moisture reading.  Adjust the knob to 
the same number as the blinks to give good 
watering.  This setting is your set point that the 
controller will maintain, and is suitable for most 
plants.

5) Periodically check the soil and plants.  Adjust 
the knob setting up or down as desired for more 
or less watering.  For example, lettuce would 
require wetter soil, tomatoes are deep rooted and 
thrive on lower moisture levels.

The controller and system is now completely 
automatic.  In the morning it waters if it needs it 
for three minutes.  Then every four hours it 
checks it again and waters if needed.  The three 
minute watering provides about 38 ounces of 
water per outlet for each watering.  If you use the 
'tees' and split the output of one of the 6 outlets, 
this will provide about 19 ounces of water per 
plant each watering.  This is the 

world’s easiest 

to use watering system.

What is the basic operation of the system?

The solar panel charges the Lithium Ion battery, and sends a signal to the 
control module to permit daytime watering. At daybreak and then every 4 
hours, during daylight hours, two additional soil moisture level measurements 
are made. That level is compared with the user set ‘desired’ watering level. If 
the desired level is higher than the measured (current) moisture level, a 
watering cycle begins, turning on the valve for eight minutes. This amount of 
water prevents over-watering or water dripping through before it can be 
absorbed. It is possible to increase or decrease this amount of water if 
needed using the switches on the underside of the assembly. The user 
adjusts the desired moisture level by turning the knob at the top of the control 
assembly to raise or lower the desired moisture setting. This is just the same 
as turning up or down the volume on a stereo. Every twenty seconds, the 
LED (Light Emitting Diode) will blink and indicates the ‘Current’ or measured 
moisture level. At any time a watering cycle is initiated when the knob is 
turned wetter than the current reading. Watering is stopped manually by 
turning the knob “down.” All the way down stops all watering. At night (1 
blink) or if the battery is low (2 blinks) the LED flashes briefly once per 
minute and the controller goes into a special low power mode.
