I agree with SH.
You could also write to the SM and Committee and claim that the upstairs neighbour is causing a “nuisance”. Residents must not use their lot in such a way as to cause a nuisance or hazard to another resident. Clearly the watering is causing a nuisance.
See, beginning on page 38, “If Things Go Wrong”

You could also suggest to the Committee that a Motion be put on the Agenda of the next General Meeting that a By-Law be created that outlines the reasonable hours and days when washing of balconies is permitted. Or you could summit such a Motion yourself.
At least that way you could prepare yourself for the deluge and not be surprised by it.
