Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, connect the included smart Gateway to your router using the provided LAN cable or via WiFi. Once the Gateway is online, insert three AA batteries into the Water Control unit and sync it using the GARDENA smart App. The system is designed for year-round outdoor use, but it is essential to disconnect the unit and drain any remaining water when temperatures approach freezing. Clean the internal filter regularly to prevent debris buildup, and always ensure the battery compartment is sealed tightly to maintain the weatherproof rating.
