How to set up a demand pattern when flow of once in "x" days is required?

Hi,

The water is need to be supplied to the consumers every once in "x" days. Say, here it is considered as once in 5 days. 

If one has to run the simulation for one week (168 hours), how shall the patterns be setup for the above problem statement?  

I have tried using "Daily Factors" option in hydraulic pattern by putting multiplier as 1 for Thursday and 0 for all other days. The hourly demand pattern has been set as 1 for 24 hours with time step of 1 hour. But this will enable supply only on Thursday, which becomes once in 7 days!!   

One thing that was observed after computing the model was that the flow was getting supplied from Friday onwards, that is at the end of Thursday. This does not seem to be correct. 

Kindly help with this problem of modelling the intermittent supply.
