Hello Tony, The AeroGarden Bounty (9-pod Garden) has default settings to run the pump for different amounts of time each hour/day depending on how long the garden has been growing. For the first two weeks, it is in germination mode and runs the pump for 60 minutes every 11 hours. After the first two weeks, the pump changes to run for 5 minutes every 25 minutes. Additionally, the pump settings and cycle can be changed to custom settings if you wish under the Main Menu. Hope this helps!
Please advise
