You can run an irrigation zone on demand from your web browser or from your Hydrawise app.
Please view the steps and screenshots to access this feature:
- From the home screen, click the REMOTE icon (
) at the bottom of the app. - Select one of four options to manually water listed below from the top dropdown.
- Single Station – This allows you to manually start a single zone for the scheduled time or a time you manually change.
- All Zones – Runs all zones for the normally scheduled time or a time you manually change.
- Programs – Manually select either all or some zones to start.
- Zone Tester and Winterization – Contractors use this tool for winterizing and testing your system.
IMPORTANT: In the event you have a conflict with your automatic schedule, you can check the box titled Stack zone runs if scheduling conflict. This feature will allow the manual cycle to run shortly after the programmed cycle. If you leave it unchecked, your system will run manually now but will cancel the programmed cycle.
- Select the SINGLE-ZONE option at the top dropdown.
- Select a ZONE from the list.
- Change the RUN TIME inside the circle if desired.
- Click START.
- Select the ALL ZONES option at the top dropdown.

- Click RUN NOW.
NOTE: Blue represents that zone will water and white represents that zone will not water.

This feature will allow you to run each zone manually, and then allow you to quickly advance to the next zone. If you enable Winterization Mode, the system will be suspended until the date set after your testing is complete (e.g., spring). This tool is most often used by irrigation professionals using the blow-out winterization method.
- Select the Zone Tester option at the top dropdown.
- If a suspension is required after this manual cycle, check the box for Winterization Mode and select a date.
- Select a Zone from the list.
