System Setup
Here is a drawing of a
typical setup. One or more valves can be supplied from one pressure reduced
water supply. With this system each basket will cycle independently of the
others as needed. You can install the HBWV yourself or you can help yourself
by using our optional ‘Complete Faucet Hose Kit’, and / or our ‘Wire
Attaching Kit’ for a quick install. The important things to remember is that
you need to supply the HBWV with a clean, filtered and pressure reduced
water supply (a pressure regulator that regulates ‘Static’ pressure is
required or the HBWV will not operate correctly, if at all). Be sure to
install the ½” poly tubing from direct sunlight where possible, to prevent
the water pressure from rising above the 25psi level.
After you have
plumbed the hoses, flushed the system out and attached the HBWV to the ¼”
poly tubing, turn on the water supply. Now to water the basket, look at the
bottom of the HBWV. The green drain cap (with the drain holes on it) has
diagrams of rain drops showing that by turning the cap clockwise will open
the valve to start watering the basket. Depending in the weight of the
basket, it will take more or less adjusting to reach the point of opening
the water flow. When the HBWV stops the water flow into the basket, check
that there is the correct amount of moisture in the basket, if not adjust
accordingly. When complete, move on to the next basket. Check occasionally
for the first few weeks to be sure the moisture content is correct, and then
enjoy ‘Worry Free Watering’.
