- When threading connections, apply Teflon tape or approved pipe sealant to ensure a watertight seal at the 3/4 in. inlet.
- Set the adjustable flow control to the minimum needed to meet plant moisture requirements, then gradually increase as needed based on weather and plant stage.
- Verify that the control system is powered off during initial wiring, then test with a brief run to confirm 24V operation and proper flow.
