Splitting the same volume into shorter events, for example \u003cstrong\u003e5 minutes, six times a day\u003c\/strong\u003e, keeps the root zone moist without going anaerobic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire in line\u003c\/strong\u003e between your segmental timer and the pump or solenoid, setting start times on the timer as usual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelect the duration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Imperium controller, from \u003cstrong\u003e1 second\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e15 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse the push button\u003c\/strong\u003e to switch the display between minutes and seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation and early veg:\u003c\/strong\u003e short, frequent feeds of a few seconds to encourage root searching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablished plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e lengthen the duration as root mass and pot size increase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck run-off\u003c\/strong\u003e after any change to the schedule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single outlet feed duration controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuration range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 second to 15 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuration settings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push button to switch between minutes and seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequires:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use alongside a segmental timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Imperium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53445767004426,"sku":null,"price":88.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/irrigation-timer-imperium-single-outlet-feed-duration-timer-39745115291863.jpg?v=1785325115","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/imperium-single-outlet-feed-duration-timer","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
