I have 3 different drops and I don't want them all to fall at once
I want to select the frame for each one, to choose when the selected sphere can begin to fall
How to do it?

The file below in case you want to have a look

You could leave activation on all the time, then leverage a switch in place of the merge. So you'd have the three spheres and a null attached to it. On frame #1 source sphere #1, then switch to the null for a few frame. After that, animate the switch to present sphere #2 as the fluid source and switch back to the null, etc...

So I tried to follow you, I add the "Switch" instead the "merge", but to be honest I'm a bit stuck now :S

I know how to do it in Blender but here in Houdini, ouch, that's hard :S
