    I couldn’t find an answer to this by searching-

    I live on a well. I prefer to set my stations not to run one after the other, but to come on, go off, and then have a delay before the next one comes on. So- Station 1 on at 8:00am off at 8:05am Station 2 on at 10am off at 10:05 etc.

    Does Open Sprinkler do this?

    Thanks!

    There is a Station Delay setting in the Options menu. The maximum delay is 240 seconds.

    So if I wanted a bigger delay would I need to make another program?

    Is it possible to this:

    8am station 1 5min
    10am station 2 5 min
    12pm station 3 5min
    2pm station 4 5 min
    4pm station 5 5 min
    6pm station 1 5 min (again)
    8pm station 2 5min (again)
    10pm station 3 5min (again)

    Would that be a separate program for each valve?

    For each station a unique program has to be made to accommodate your specifications. However, the same program can be used for each station by using the interval to define your wait time. For example, program 1 can be only station 1, starts at 8:00AM and ends at 7:00PM. The program will only select station 1 and have a duration of 5 minutes. The interval will be 600 (minutes) which tells the program when to start again. You can repeat this for each station.

    Hope this helps.
