Teach the Controller Your Landscape
Accurate plant type, sun exposure, and sprinkler head selections change ET math. Garbage inputs produce garbage run times—even with good weather data.
Weather Sources
Choose a reliable station near the property. Rural sites may need a personal weather device for wind and rainfall.
Flow and Overrides
If you add flow monitoring, review charts monthly. Spikes often reveal stuck valves before customers notice.
Seasonal Review
Quarterly audits catch stations accidentally left at default microclimate settings after landscape changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my run time look short?
Check seasonal adjust, forecast rain, and station sun exposure.
Can I mix ET and fixed days?
Yes—structure programs to match watering rules and plant needs.
