Claber Aquauno Video-2 Plus – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Claber Aquauno Video-2 Plus?

The Claber Aquauno Video-2 Plus is a battery-operated digital water timer designed to manage garden irrigation systems with flexible programming options automatically.

How many watering programmes can it store?

It allows up to 2 independent watering programmes, each customisable for different days, start times, and durations.

Does the timer require batteries?

Yes. The Aquauno Video-2 Plus operates using a 9V alkaline battery (not supplied), which powers the electronic control unit.

How long can each watering cycle last?

Watering duration can be set from 1 minute up to 240 minutes, depending on the selected programme.

How frequently can watering be scheduled?

Watering can be scheduled daily, on selected days of the week, or at custom intervals, offering excellent flexibility for different plants and seasons.

Is the display easy to use?

Yes. The large LCD screen with intuitive icons makes programming simple, even for users with no prior experience using digital timers.

Can I temporarily stop or skip watering?

Yes. The manual override function allows you to start or stop watering at any time without deleting saved programmes.

Is the timer suitable for drip irrigation systems?

Yes. It works well with drip irrigation, micro-irrigation, sprinklers, and soaker hoses, provided adequate water pressure is available.

What tap size does it fit?

The timer connects to a standard 3/4" BSP garden tap and is compatible with most common hose fittings.

Is it weatherproof?

Yes. The Aquauno Video-2 Plus is designed for outdoor use and is water-resistant. 

Does it work with low-water-pressure or gravity-fed systems?

No. The timer requires mains water pressure and is not suitable for gravity-fed or water-butt systems.

Will my settings be lost if the battery runs out?

When the battery is exhausted, programmes will need to be reset. A low-battery indicator alerts you in advance so the battery can be replaced in time.

Is it suitable for unattended watering?

Yes. Once programmed, it reliably opens and closes the water flow automatically, helping prevent over-watering and water waste.

Is installation difficult?

No. Installation is quick and tool-free—simply screw the timer onto the tap, insert the battery, and connect your hose or irrigation system.

What maintenance does it require?

Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically clean the inlet filter and remove the timer during winter to avoid frost damage.
