I have a two part question. Can this timer be set up to water on Tuesday, thursday, and saturday? Can this be hooked up to the rainbird 32eti?

Great timer and yes it can be set to water on specific days, not sure about attaching to 32ETI.....

As far as days of the week, yes. You can select any day individually or all days. I do not know if it's compatible with the 32eti.

Shamrock, you will need a Rain Bird FCKIT1PK - Faucet Connection Kit to connect the 1/2" tubing to the faucet. The other end is closed with a Rain Bird- EC50-1/2" -Closure Pack. I also included a battery operated Melnor 3100 2-Zone Aquatimer Sprinkler Control that connected to the Faucet Connection in order to water automatically using a 2 hose set up. The unit works well for me and I have been well pleased with it.

I don't know the answer offhand, but there should be a design calculator on Rainbird's website. I know that I can run 3 of them on one 3/4 inch line on city water. Don't know the water pressure, though

This timer is not designed for continuous running like most timers. Set a start time and run min.,for 1st zone then you must set a separate start time for zone #2, 3,4 etc. in increments of 15 mins. each. You can't overlap. If #1 starts at 3am, run 45 min, then zone #2 must start at 4 am and yes this means a 15 min. pause before #2 runs. Each zone also needs the day of the week you want it to run i.e. Wednesday and Saturday or whatever your local codes dictates. Same with 2,3,4. If you want only one watering time per day, that's the button you push. Hope this helps. Very simple and inexpensive unit if you want an "indoor" with plug-gable transformer. No cover so you need it indoors or out of direct contacts with the elements.

No actual time setting only amount of time to water on every day, every other day and every third day. Suggest turning the unit on at the time you want to water and it should repeat on following days.

The number of desired day intervals are set in the timer, i.e. every 2nd day, 3rd day, etc. It will water on those intervals until you turn it off.

Kathy: I can't really tell you that. However, if you look at the online manual for the unit, it will explain that function. I use mine once a day, 2 or 3 days a week; depending what's needed in the season. I can tell you they are very easy to set and I have had very good and dependable service on the Rainbird control. When I feel I need an additional cycle on the same day, I do it manually which is a one button operation that takes a split second. You can start any zone by pressing manual quickly. Pres it once, zone 1; press twice, zone 2 etc. if you press manual on the first zone, it will cycle all zones. Hope this helps. Kathy: I can't really tell you that.

Yes you can select what days you want to water and how long. I also like that I can access my sprinklers from my smart phone any time that I want to change anything, or manually start a water cycle

It SHOULD work. I know the valves open even when the water is turned off (like when we have had a couple days rain) so if you have enough pressure to push water now without a timer adding one shouldn't change anything.

It depends on the wiring for the pump. If the wiring is correct, there shouldn't be any issues. ... I can set this timer for different times each day. And there is a manual override

No. It's is a mechanical time. If you want to vary watering by day of the week, hour of the day and watering time you should look at electronic water timers that attach to your hose bib. Hope this helps. (BTW we suggest you go organic, reduce your lawn size and use native plants that require less water thereby minimizing your overall watering needs and work, too.)

You may be able to but don't waste your money on this timer. I, along with several others wound up with outrageous water bills because the timer didn't shut off. I went on vacation for three weeks and it ran 24/7. Bill was over $300.

If your question is about CONTINUOUS watering for a week, you don't need a timer -- you will either run out of water or have a massive water bill! If it's about INTERMITTENT watering for specific durations daily (once, every 6 hours or every 12 hours daily), this timer works well -- you just set it (time and duration) and it's done.

No, as is generally true with residential timers such as this SST900i, it can only power one valve at a time. Some commercial grade timers such as Rainbird's ESP-SMTe can power 2 valves simultaneously. But, even if the timer could power 2 valves at a time, your water pressure, your piping, or your main valve size might not be able to handle so much flow.

Joseph... the answer is NO! The timer can be set to start and stop "once" OR "twice" a day. The amount of time you want the water to run during the ONE or TWO sessions can be broke down to hours and minutes.

No, you can't set selected days for days of the week, ie Mon an Fri. You can only select to water every one day, two days, three days and so on.

Yes, if your RainBird unit has a rain sensor connection. It will be where you connect your zones to the RainBird.
