Menu/Select button again, use the up and down arrows to get to either the A ET Balance or the B 

ET Balance, depending on which sprinkler program you want to run. 

 

If you want program A to run, press the Menu/Select button. 

 

Step 3:

  Use the up arrow to adjust the A Balance to A ET Start, 0.5”.  By changing the Soil 

Moisture Depletion Balance, the Weather Reach Receiver will allow your sprinkler system to 

water a complete cycle.   

 

Follow the same steps to change the B Soil Moisture Depletion Balance. 

 

Please note:  

To allow your sprinkler system to water its next cycle, this change should be made 

before the ET Window opens.  (Please see the definition of ET Window Start and ET Window 

Length on page 3 of this manual). 

 

 

Problems with your sprinkler system or landscape 

Before making any adjustments to the settings of either your Weather Reach Receiver or your 
automatic sprinkler controller, make sure that the entire sprinkler system is in good working 
order.  It is important to be certain that there are no broken sprinkler heads or broken pipes 
affecting the performance of your system.  Landscapes and automated sprinkler systems are 
subject to imperfections that can be corrected.  

You may need to contact your landscape 

installer or sprinkler professional.

   

 

Step 1:

  Perform a walk through evaluation inspecting your sprinkler system while each zone is 

running.   

 

Step 2:

  If problems in the sprinkler system are detected, please fix the problems or call sprinkler 

professionals to assist you. 

 
Dry or Wet Spots 
Dry and wet spots are caused by problems with your sprinkler system or the program in your 

sprinkler controller.
