The Watering Valves are intended solely for outdoor use for fully automatic control of individual irrigation systems. It is a benefit to arrange a watering system into separate sections in case

of varying watering needs for different plant areas or if there is insufficient water available for simultaneous operation of the entire watering system.

1. Draw up a plan (an example is shown in the figure below).

Additional information is provided in the GARDENA Sprinkler System Planning Guide which is available from your GARDENA dealer.
