Button issue

The button on the timer got stuck and I cannot set my timer.

Sorry for the bother. We found out the reason of this issue is that the welding issue. We asked our technical to try another way about welding and it works great. We have applied it to all items. Please contact customer service team to replace for a new one.

leaking issue

My pump will auto transfer water from my barral to my plants even it is not working.

Sorry for the inconvneience. To solve this issue, would you please check for your installation first? Incorrect installation is easily cause siphon issue. You can check below for the wrong and right installation.

It is very important that you need to put the pump a bit higher than your water. It is a simple way to prevent siphon. But do not put it too high please. If you put the pump or plants too high, it is hard for the pump to pump water up.

Water pressure issue

The pump pressure is too low. It can not water all my pot plants.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Normally, this is a watering drip pump. It cannot spray the water out as a timer. It transfer water drop by drop to your pot plants. We do mentioned about that stronger pump pressure is needed for part of our clients. So we are testing for new kits and new chips to make a stronger pressure version. The new item will be launched soon. 

There is no water comes out from the pump.

To better analyse your issue, would you please put your hand close to the pump inlet and check if there is any power to try to pump things in? If yes, please check if you put the pump and plants too higher (suggestion heigh is no higher than the water 2.5 meters). Or please try to shorten the hose (suggestin length is shorten than 10 meter in total). Moreover, please install the filter on. Otherwise, the pump might stuck by particles inside.
If the issue cannot be solved, would you please shot a short video to show it and send to service@rainpointus.com for further support.

Battery unit issue

When I use batteries to do power supply, my plans are gone.

Normally. We suggest to use USB cable to do power supply. USB cable power supply can offer stable and strong current. Batteries power supply is unable to do remote control. We have reported this to technical asking them to improve it for further version.

My batteries drains out very fast. I need to change them very often. Is it normal?
