Program the Frequency and Duration of Your Feed Times This unit regulates feeding times for your EasyFeed Grow System. Just choose the frequency and duration of your feeds and let the Water Timer (and gravity) take care of the rest. How the Water Timer Works The EasyFeed System is a gravity-fed system that relies on the Water Timer to distribute nutrients. The Water Timer works by cutting off the supply of nutrient solution from your Flexi Tank, allowing the nutrient to reach the EasyFeed Trays for the times and durations specified on the two dials at the front of the unit. Choose from the following settings: Frequency HourlyEvery 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hoursEvery 1-3 daysWeekly Run Time 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, & 120 minute intervals Having the ability to program feeding schedules provides a massive advantage over other gravity-fed systems. The gaps between feeds are as important as feed times themselves, because they give the rootzone time to re-oxygenate. If the substrate stays too wet for too long, growth rates can be stunted and the risk of encountering root diseases, like pythium, massively increases. When using the Water Timer, the grower is in complete control, and you can fine-tune irrigation cycles to get the very best out of your chosen growing medium.
