Following on from the best-selling Watermation TW-2 controller, the Tonick TW-3 combines simplicity of programming with the latest technology. This makes it extremely easy to set up, with a dial-type rotary switch and graphics backlit LCD. As with other latest high technology products, there is a significant reduction in both cost and size.

The case is waterproof as is the transformer feeding it, so there is no worry where to mount the TW-3. The case and label use advanced UV resistant materials. Each of the four watering programs has up to 12 starts/day and can be programmed for any or all days of the week plus odd and even dates.

Programs may run in parallel giving up to 4 decoders on at the same time. Any station number may be included in any program without restriction. Overlapping starts on the same program will stack.

Each program may be modified by a monthly seasonal adjust percentage. An additional no-watering window and no-water dates may be specified.
A fifth manual program is available, running independently of any automatic. This can be used from the front panel for diagnostic investigations or to run programs using the built-in remote control circuit.

Comprehensive history files are kept. These include a run log, failure log and total time/precipitation over the last 7 days for each station.
