CONTROLLER CONFIGURATIONS
This controller can operate four different iterations of ReWater's recycling irrigation systems,
thus there are slightly different controller configurations available. Those iterations are:
CA Compliant Greywater (110v)
City of LA Compliant Greywater (110vand 220v)
Rain Harvesting (110vand 220v)
Greywater & Rain for LID Compliance (110vand 220v)
If you have our California Compliant Greywater system, then the main body of this User’s Guide
pertains to your controller. If you have one of our other three iterations, any difference in your
controller configuration is addressed in alater section dedicated to that type of system.

GENERAL INFORMATION
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 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 current time and date are always changing, only the most recent date can be 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 (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 ofthe valves, AC power must be applied.
To install the battery:
1. Unlatchthehingedcontrolmoduleassembly
and carefully swing it 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. Always handle and discard batteriesproperly.
Page 8

HOW THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKER WORKS
The 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 as follows :
1. Set the dial to one of the following positions: Run, Manual-Single Station or Manual-Program
Cycle.
2. Press the OFF button to return the controller to the normal operating mode.

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.
Page 9

HOW THE SENSOR FEATURE WORKS
The 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 willalso prevent the recycling function from
operating.

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.)
Please read the ReWater Owner’s Operation Manual before installing or programming your
Complete Control .
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.
SELECTING THE NUMBER OF RECYCLING VALVES
This feature MUST be set up first -- The stations in the Complete Control must be divided into
freshwater stations and recycling stations. The lower numbered stations are fresh water, the
higher numbered stations are recycling. The station number you select here will be the first
recycling station on your controller. All station numbers less than your setting will be fresh water
only (and need to be plumbed directly to a fresh water source). For example, on a 21-
station controller, if you select 11, then stations 1-10 are fresh water only and 11-21 are
recycling stations. If you select 1, then all stations are recycling stations.
To set the station numberfor the first recycling 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” means REcycling Valve
Number).
4. Use the +and/or –buttons to set the first station number that willbe a recycling station.
Once you have divided the stations into either fresh water or recycled water, and connected
those stations to the correct type of water supply, you may proceed to other programming
subjects.
Page 11

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: If required by a lack of recycled water, the ReWater System will automatically supplement
the recycled water program(s) with fresh water at the filter at midnight, if that feature is
programmed to be on, as explained later in this manual.
WHAT IS A WATERING PROGRAM?
In basic terms, a watering program is a small set of instructions which tells the controller when to
start a watering cycle, which stations will operate during the cycle, which days the 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. Separate
programs are usually used to group stations with similar watering requirements. For example,
you might use one program to water lawns in full sun every day. Another program could be used
to water lawns in partial shade only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Shrubs and flowers
using recycled water might use one program for watering every other day. Trees using recycled
water might run on a separate program every other day.
As you can see, the availability of four programs allows you to have unique watering programs
and sources of water 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, as that water is not stored by a ReWater System. Storing recycled
water is strongly discouraged because it turns septic.
WHAT IS A PROGRAM WATERING CYCLE?
When a fresh water 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.
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.
Page 12

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
Note that we have 40 minutes total watering time per cycle in Program A. If we had set the next
start time at 2:30 a.m., the start time would have been delayed until 2:40 a.m., enabling the first
cycle to finish as programmed. This function is called "start time stacking", and can occur within
each program.
Watering programs, however, operate independently, which means that two or more programs
can run simultaneously. In our example, Program B will also start at 2:00 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. For recycling stations, the station time is the total
time per day, NOT the time per start.
Note: When scheduling watering programs to run simultaneously, it is important to ensure the
water supply has sufficient pressure and volume to maintain optimum irrigation performance .

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
SETTING THE CURRENT TIME AND DATE
Before you can program the controller for automatic watering, you must set the controller clock
to the current time and date. This controller features a 365-day calendar with automatic leap
year compensation. Once the date is set, the controller keeps track of the date and enables
trouble-free, odd/even day of the month watering required in some locations. The time and
date apply to all programs. To set the time and date, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the Function Dial to the Current Time & Date position.The Hour digits and AM/PM will
flash.
2. Press the +button to increase or -button to decrease the hour digit.
Note: Continuous pressureon the +or -buttons causes the display to change rapidly.
3. Press the NEXT button to select the minutes digits. Use the +and/or -buttons to set the
current minute.
4. Press the NEXTbutton to select the year digits. Usethe +and/or -buttons to set the current
year.
5. Press the NEXT button to select the month. Use the +and/or -buttons to set the current
month.
6. Press the NEXTbutton to select the day digit(s). Use the +and/or -buttons to setthe current
calendar day.
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.
To erase program information for a selected program:
1. Select program A, B, C o D with the Program switch.
2. Turn the function dial to the Program Erase position. The display will show ERASE.
3. Press and hold the OFF button until "DONE" is displayed.
4. Repeat this procedure for each program you wish to erase.

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 backwashintervalis setto14hours atthefactory.This settingshouldonlybechanged
at the recommendation of ReWater Systems’ personnel.
SETTING THE BACKWASH DURATION
This setting adjusts theduration of a backwash cycle in minutes. To set the 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, fresh 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’ personnel.
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 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 Program switch.
3. Press the NEXT button to select the station number you wish to set (if other than the one
displayed).
Page 17

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
4. Use the +and/or -buttons to display the desired stationrun duration.
Note: OFF is the factory setting for each station. If the station has a run duration and you wish
to remove it from this program, use the + and/or - buttons to select OFF, (displayed between
10:00 [ten hours] and 00:01 [one minute]).
Note: For the recycling stations, the display will show “RE”, followed by the station time. The
“RE” is displayed as a reminder that this 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 use 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 cycle start 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 program will
not increase the watering time for the recycling stations. To increase the watering time fo r a
recycling station, simply increase the station run duration for a particular valve.
SELECTING THE DAYS TO WATER
Several watering day scheduling options are available. Each watering program can utilize anyONE
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.
Page 18

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 compl ex 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 increasesby 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 TODAYas 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,press the OFF
button.
D. Press the NEXT button to select the next day.
E. Repeat steps C and D to set the remaining days ofthe week.
Note: Day Interval must be OFF to select Daysof the Week.
