Oppsettinstruksjoner
Follow these steps to set up your RAINPOINT ITP138 watering system:
- Prepare the Water Source: Place a bucket or container of water near your plants. Ensure the container is stable and can hold enough water for your desired watering duration.
Figure 2: The RAINPOINT ITP138 solar pump positioned with a water source and drip lines extending to plants. - Installer filteret: Attach the filter to one end of the 1/6'' main line tubing. Submerge the filter end into your water source. This prevents debris from entering the pump and drip system.
Figure 3: Visual guide for connecting the tubing to the pump, inserting the filter into the water source, and attaching the anti-siphon valve and emitters. - Connect Tubing to Pump: Connect the other end of the 1/6'' main line tubing to the 'IN' port of the solar irrigation pump. Connect the 1/8'' branch line tubing to the 'OUT' port. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Figure 4: The exposed ports on the RAINPOINT ITP138 pump, designed for easy and secure tubing connection. - Install Anti-Siphon Valve: Insert the anti-siphon valve into the main line tubing, ensuring the larger end is closer to the pump. This prevents water from flowing back into the reservoir when the pump is off.
- Route Drip Lines and Emitters: Cut the 1/8'' branch line tubing to desired lengths for each plant. Use the T barb fittings to create branches from the main line. Attach a micro drip emitter to the end of each branch line and insert it into the soil near the base of each plant. Use zip ties to secure tubing as needed.
- Plasser solcellepanelet: Mount the solar irrigation pump using the provided ground stake. Adjust the solar panel to face direct sunlight for optimal charging. The panel is 360° adjustable.
