You may well be right about the soakaway, the amount of water they goes into the cistern from the down pipes it can’t possibly just drain onto the soil

Hi yes it does but according to my instructions I think this is for the control unit not the siren

All options other than adjusting siren volume

Thanks sorry how do you set it to sound for 1 second?
