Overview
The Pump Operating Time is a window of time when the pump is allowed to run. Once enabled, the pump will not run outside of this period.
You may want to set a Pump Operating Time:
From 10 pm and 7 am so it only runs during off-peak electricity
From 8 pm and 4 pm each day so the solar pump is only running during the day
The Pump Operating Time still works alongside your water levels. The pump will only run during this time if your destination (tank or reservoir) reaches the ‘Start’ level.
⚠️ Note: Pump Operating Time is not a timer. Ranchbot Pump Control turns the pump on based on water levels (tank or reservoir), not for a fixed duration.
How to set up a Pump Operating Time
You can set a daily schedule by choosing a ‘Start Time’ and ‘Stop Time’, as shown below.
Before this is available, you’ll need to:
select a destination (tank or reservoir)
enable Automation Mode
set your ‘Start’ and ‘Stop’ water levels
Alternatively you can still reach out to Customer Support on service@ranch-bot.com or (325) 208-4811 and the team can configure this for you on your behalf immediately.
