I keep getting emails from the control box telling me i am out of water.
I have checked the water butts and they have plenty of water in them.
What could the problem be?
The “low water” alarm/alert happens when the control box is detecting that the pump is using less power than normal ( pumping air ).
If your system is definitely pumping water, then it’s possible your irrigation pipes network isn’t putting enough pressure on the pump. You can turn the low water alarm off using the settings for that watering zone on the control unit dashboard.
Note that if you use a soaker or seep hose, with the WaterMate Pro pump, the pump will turn off when the pressure reaches 35psi, and turn on again when the pressure drops. This will cause the pump to cycle on and off, which will trigger the low water alarm. With this setup, turn the low water alarm off on the control panel.
