Set Watering Start Times
Start times are the time(s) of day that the program begins.
You can assign up to eight Start Times per day to a single program.
Multiple Start Times allow you to run a program more than once on
each day. For example, if you’re growing new lawn seed, you may want
to water several times a day to keep the seedbed or top dressing damp.
