I have not had time to check the watering schedule for open sprinkler but the easiest way to avoid run off is by having lets say 3 or 4 different programs with up to 8 start times. Program a, b, c for different plant types. Let’s say program a (turf) runs 3 times x week with 3 -4 min cycles, starts at 7 pm. Program b runs 1 times per week (shrubs) with 5- 5 min cycles and it runs on the program a day off. We need to figure out soak times, and all the run times need to be adjusted by getting a daily ET update, we need a et reference value that get adjusted according to daily ET provided by a local weather station, there are some free ones on the net.

We will be away from Thursday July 17 to Monday July 21. Orders placed after 3pm EST July 17
will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
