This section contains general information on:
• How the backup system works
• How the electronic circuit breaker works
• How the sensor feature works
HOW THE BACKUP SYSTEM WORKS
The controller COMPLETE CONTROL®uses non-volatile memory to store watering programs.
This type of memory prevents the watering program information from becoming lost in the
event of a power failure.
Because the currenttime and dateare always changing, only themost recent date can b e saved
in non-volatile memory. Therefore, a battery is required to maintain the correct time and date in
the event of a power failure. A 9-volt alkaline battery (not provided) will maintain the correct
time and date during power failures up to 90 days. In a typical installation, the battery should
last from two to four years before replacement is necessary. Once the battery is installed, the
controller can be fully programmed for operation.
Note: For operation of the valves, 3-way valve actuator, or pump, AC power must be connected.
To install thebattery:
1. Unlatchthe hingedcontrolmoduleassembly
and carefully swingit outward to open.
2. Locate and remove the battery
compartment cover from the lower back
side of the module.
3. Connect the 9-volt alkalinebattery supplied
to the battery clip terminals.
4. Insert the battery into the compartment
and reinstall the battery compartment
cover.
Caution: Batteries contain hazardous material. Please handle and discard batteries properly in
accordance with the battery manufacturer's recommendations.

6GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
HOW THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKER WORKS
The controller COMPLETE CONTROL®is equipped with an electronic circuit breaker. If the
controller detects a short circuit, the shorted station (valve) will be turned off automatically. The
display will then flash "SHORT" and the shorted station number, or “RELAY,” “3 -WAY,” “BW,” or
“FW.” The controller continues to automatically water the other stations and the following
watering programs until the shorted station is repaired. Each automatic start will attempt
another cycle and retest the short-circuited valve.
Listed below are the most common conditions which will activate the electronic circuit
breaker. After correcting the problem, return the controller to normal operation :

Solution:
The word "SHORT" displays with one or more station numbers.
One or more stations are shorted.
Check the wiring of the displayed stations for the cause of the shorted
condition. Especially look for bad splices. Repair valve(s) and/or wiring as needed.
Too many valves operating at the same time causing an overload condition.
Check watering programs for concurrent station operation. Maximum total output
is 24 VAC at 1.25 amps. Reduce the number of stations running at the same time.
The word "SHORT" displays without one or more station numbers.
A short circuit has occurred with a time duration too short for the
controller to determine the station.
Check all valve wiring for breaks in the insulation which may cause a station output
to short to common.
A transient power surge/spike has occurred.
Reset the controller.
A short or overload occurred on one watering cycle but was no longer
there on a subsequent cycle.
Check for loose and/or exposed valve wiring.

7GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
HOW THE SENSOR FEATURE WORKS
The controller COMPLETE CONTROL®is equipped to operate with an optional rain sensing
device, commonly calleda "Rain Switch", to prevent automatic watering during rain.
The rain switch is a simple device, typically installed on a roof overhang or stationary structure
exposed to rainfall and full sun and shielded from irrigation spray.
When rain occurs, the normally closed rain switch senses the moisture and opens the valve
common circuit, effectively preventing all output to the field. The electronic programming
portion of the controller is isolated from the rain sensor switch, and continues to operate as
programmed. When rain stops and the rain switch returns to its normally closed state, the valve
common circuit is restored, allowing watering to resume as scheduled.
A two-position Sensor switch (see figure, item 20 on page 4) is provided to enable you to easily
bypass operation of the rain switch at any time. If you choose to disregard rain switch input,
place the SENSOR switch in the BYPASS position. To enable rain switch operation, place the
Sensor switch in the ACTIVE position.
IMPORTANT:
If a rain switch is NOT connected to the controller, the
SENSOR switch MUST be in the BYPASS position to enable controller
operation.
The controller will not operate automatically or manually if
the SENSOR switch is in the ACTIVE position without a rain switch
connected.
!
IMPORTANT:
The rain sensor can also prevent the recycling function from
operating.

8PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
This section covers the following topics:
• Getting started
• Selecting the number of recycling valves
• Setting the current time and date
• Erasing existing programs
• Setting the recycling features
• Setting the station run duration
• Setting the program start times
• Selecting the days to water
GETTING STARTED
The modular design of the COMPLETE CONTROL®enables you to easily remove the control
module from the cabinet and take it anywhere for handy programming - even at your kitchen
table! Just swing the module out, disconnect the ribbon cable, and then unclip the module from
its support frame. Now, by installing a 9-volt alkaline battery you can program and review your
watering schedules and have it ready to operate upon completion of the installation. (See
battery installation instructions on page 5.)
Note: To extend battery life, the display will automatically dim after two minutes of inactivity. To
restore the display, turn the function dial to any position.
Please read the ReWater Owner’s Operation Manual before installing or programming your
COMPLETE CONTROL®. That manual will give you a much better understanding of the many
recycling features controlled by the COMPLETE CONTROL®.
SELECTING THE NUMBER OF RECYCLING VALVES
DO THIS FIRST: Most single family landscapes need both conventional irrigation and recycled
irrigation. This controller allows you to control both. Here is where we set that up.The
station number you select here will be the first recycling station/valve to the last recycling
station/valve. Example:on a 21-station controller, by selecting 11, stations 11 - 21 are recycling
stations,thus stations 1 -10 are for city water and must be plumbed directly for city water.
To set the station numberfor the first recycling station/valve, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the Function Dial to the Recycling Features position.
2. Press the NEXT button three times.
3. The display will show “RE VN” and the stationnumber. (“RE VN” =REcycling Valve Number).
4. Use the +and/or –buttons to set the first station/valve number that will be a recycling
station/valve .
Once you have divided the stations into fresh water and recycled water stations, or all recycled
water stations, you may proceed to other programmingissues. NOTE: Stations dedicated to city
water must be directly plumbed to city water and need to be in a program with a start time.

9PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
NOTE: Fresh water valves must be plumbed to a constant-pressure fresh water supply, and
recycling valves must be plumbed to the recycled water main line from the ReWater System.
NOTE: The ReWater System will automatically supplement any shortage of recycled water with
fresh water through the FW valve at the filter at midnight. That feature can be programmed on
or off, as explained later in this manual.
WHAT IS A WATERING PROGRAM?
In basic terms, a watering program is a small set ofinstructions which tells the controller when
to start a watering cycle, which stations will operate during the cycle, which daysthe cycle will
be active and how long each station will operate during the cycle. A unique part of the Complete
Control is that a program also includes whether fresh or recycled water will (always) be used.
The COMPLETE CONTROL®has four independent watering programs for your use, A-D.
Separate programs are typically used to group stations with similar watering requirements. For
example, you might use program A to water lawns in full sun every day. Program B might be
used to water lawns in partial shade only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Program C might
be used for recycled water on shrubs and flowers every day. And Program D might be used for
Trees using recycled water every other day.
As you can see, the availability offour programs allows you to have unique watering programs
and sources ofwater for your varied landscape needs.
Note: One or more recycled programs need to be run every day or the recycled water will be lost
to the overflow. Recycled water is not stored by a ReWater System. Storing recycled water is
strongly discouraged as it quickly becomes septic.
WHAT IS A PROGRAM WATERING CYCLE?
When a watering start time is selected, that time becomes the beginning of an automatic
watering cycle. A watering cycle operates each station assigned to the program, one by one, in
numerical order. (Assigning a start time to a recycling program does nothing.)
In the following example, (also shown on the sample watering plan on page 12) we have set up
Program A to start at 2: 00 a.m. and again at 3:00 a.m. on a1-day interval (every day). Stations
1, 2, 4 and 5 are front and back yard lawn areas which get full sun throughout the day. These
stations will run for 10 minutes each for a total of 20 minutes run duration per day. Stations 3, 6
and 7 are lawn areas which are shaded during the afternoon hours. These areas require less
water, so we have assigned them to Program B and set them to run for 20 minutes on a 2-day
interval (every other day).
At 2:00 a.m., Program A watering cycle starts. Station 1 turns on, runs for 10 minutes, and turns
off. Station 2 turns on, runs for 10 minutes, and turns off. Stations 4 and 5 operate sequentially
in the same manner, each running for their set run duration. When Station 5 shuts off, the
watering cycle is completed for the first start time. At 3:00 a.m., the watering cycle starts again
and repeats the same station-by-station watering sequence.

10 PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
Note that we have 40 minutes total watering timeper cycle in Program A. If we had set t he next
start time at 2:30 a.m., thestart time would have been delayed until 2:40a.m.,enabling the first
cycle to finish as programmed. This function is called "starttime stacking", and can occur within
each program.
Watering programs, however, operateindependently, which means that two or more programs
canrun simultaneously.Inourexample,ProgramBwillalsostartat2:00 a.m.Therefore,Stations
1 and 3 will turn on at the same time, and Station 2 will turn on while Station 3 is running. This
feature enables more watering to be completed within the prime "watering window", which is
generally between Midnight and 6:00 a.m.
Recycling stations do not use start times. They start when recycled water is available and
irrigation is required. For recycling stations, the station time is the TOTAL time set per day, NOT
the time per start.
Note: When scheduling fresh water programs to run simultaneously, it is important to ensurethe
water supply has sufficient pressure and volume to maintain optimum irrigation performance .If
your sprinklers won't reach head to head, you don't have sufficient water pressure or volume for
simultaneous operation of those programs.

7. Return the Function Dial to the Run position whenthe current time and date havebeen set.
ERASING EXISTING PROGRAMS
This process allows you to easily clear the controller memory of all user -defined watering
program information within an individual program. This is an optional procedure and can be
skipped if you wish to retain previous program operating information or the controllerhas not
yet been programmed.
Erasing a program resets the memory to factory conditions: No station run durations, no
program start times. Active watering days setto S,M,T,W,T,F,S. Water Budget is set to 100%.
Note: This process is program independent and resets only the information for the selected
program. (CONTINUES)

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
14 PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
SETTING THE BACKWASH INTERVAL
The backwash interval setting is used to adjust how often the Complete Control backwashes the
sand filter of trapped debris. The COMPLETE CONTROL®automatically backwashes that filter
by counting the accumulated recycled irrigation hours. When that count equals the backwash
interval setting, it performs a backwash cycle (default at midnight). To set the backwash interval,
follow these steps:
1. Turn the Function Dial to the Recycling Features.
2. Press the NEXT button four times.
3. The display will show “RE Bl” and backwash interval in hours. (“RE BI” stands for REcycling
Backwash Interval).
4. Use the + and/or - buttons to adjust the backwash interval.
Note: The Backwash Interval is set to 14 hours at the factory. This setting should only be
changed at the recommendation of ReWater Systems.
SETTING THE BACKWASH DURATION
This setting adjusts the duration of a backwash cycle in minutes. To set th e back wash duration,
follow the steps below:
1. Turn the Function Dial to the Recycling Features.
2. Press the NEXT button five times.
3. The display will show “RE BD” and backwash duration in minutes. (“RE BD” stands for
REcycling Backwash Duration).
4. Use the +and/or -buttons to adjust the backwash duration.
Note: The backwash duration is determined by the filter vessel size, water pressure, and
source water quality and is set to 4 minutes at the factory. This setting should only be
changed at the recommendation of ReWater Systems.
SETTING THE STATION RUN DURATION
A station is assigned to a program when it is given a station run duration (from 1 minute to 10
hours for freshwater stations, 1 minute to 1 hour for recycling stations) in that program. The
station can have only one run duration per program. Additionally, the station can be assigned to
any number of programs (A-D) and have a different run duration assigned in each. To set the run
duration for each station, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the function dial to the Station Times. The controller displays STATION NUMBER 1 and
OFF (or the current station runtime).
2. Select Program A, B, Cor Dwith the sliding Program switch.
3. Press the NEXT button to select the station number you wish to set (if other than the one
displayed).
4. Use the + and/or - buttons to display the desired station run duration.

15 PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
Note: OFF is the factory setting for each station. If the station has a run duration and you wish
to remove it from aprogram, use the + and/or - buttons to select OFF, (displayed between
10:00 [ten hours] and 00:01 [one minute]).
Note: For recycling stations, the display will show “RE”, followed by the station duration. The
“RE” is displayed as a reminder thatthis is a REcycling station.
SETTING PROGRAM START TIMES
This feature is for fresh water valves only. This procedure is used to set the watering cycle start
time(s) for each fresh water valve program. Each program can have up to 16 start times, as
you might need on steep slopes. Each start time will initiate a sequential watering cycle of all
fresh water stations with an assigned run duration in the program.
To set program cyclestart time(s) follow the steps below:
1. Turn the function dial to the Start Times..
2. Select Program A, B, Cor Dwith the Program switch..
3. Use the +and/or -buttons to display the start time.
Note: To remove a start time, adjust the time to display “OFF” (located between 11:59 p.m.
and 12:00 a.m.)
4. Press the NEXT button to assign another starttime to the program.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each programas necessary.
Note: The COMPLETE CONTROL® will operate one watering cycle in a program at a time. If a
start time occurs while a watering cycle is in progress, the start time will be delayed until the
previous cycle is finished (this is called "start time stacking"). If the watering cycle extends past
midnight into the next day, the cycle will continue operating until finished. However, if a
watering cycle has been delayed until after midnight into a non-watering day, the watering cycle
will not occur.
Note: Recycling stations do not use start times. Setting multiple start times for a recycling
program will not increase watering timesfor recycling stations. To increase the watering time
for a recycling station, simply increase the station run duration for a particular station/valve.
SELECTING THE DAYS TO WATER
Several watering day scheduling options are available. Each watering program can utilize any
ONE of the following schedules:
• Days of the week
Use this type of schedule to water on specific days of the week. The days are displayed as three-
letter abbreviations. For example, Sunday is SUN, Monday is MON, etc. Only the days you select
to water will remain on the display.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
16 PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
• Odd Days or Even Days
To select every odd or even number calendar day, usethis option. Because the 31st and the 1st
are both odd number days, the 31st is automatically removed from the schedule .
This watering option can be combined with Days of the Week to form a more complex watering
schedule. For example, Days of the Week could be set to water on MON, TUE, WED, THU. and
FRI with ODD DAYS set to ON. This schedule would only water on weekdays that have an odd
calendar date, watering on MON, WED, and FRI on one week, TUE and THU the next week.
• Day Interval
Selecting watering days by Day Interval enables a specific number of days between watering to
be selected. For example, selecting a 1-day Interval schedules watering for every day. A 2-day
interval schedules watering for every other day. A 30-day interval is the maximum interval
frequency, which provides watering once every 30 days.
Another setting within the Day Interval is the current day of the schedule. The current day
(displayed as TODAY) can be set for any day within the interval. This number automatically
increases by one every day. When the TODAY number equals the Day Interval number, a
watering day will occur. For example, to water every third day starting today, a 3-day interval
would be set with TODAY as day 3. Or, to water every 5 days starting tomorrow, a 5-day
interval would be selected with TODAY as day 4.
To set a watering day schedule for each program:
1. Turn the function dial to the Watering Days. The display will show the current watering day
schedule for the selected program.
2. Select Program A, B, C or Dwith the Program switch.
3. Set the watering day(s)for the program using one of the three following procedures: Days of
the Week, Odd Days/Even Days or Day Interval scheduling procedure.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary to set a watering day schedule for each program .
Days of the Week
A. Press the NEXT button until the weekday abbreviations areshown at the top ofthe display.
B. SUN (Sunday) will begin flashing.
C. To select the day,press the ON button. To remove the day from the schedule,pressthe OFF
