Adjust  Water  Budget  Percent

The  Water  Budget  feature  on  the  ESP-TM  lets  you 

increase  or  decrease  the  run  times  of  all  stations  by  a 

selected  percentage.  You  may  adjust  the  run  times  as  low 

as  10  percent  and  as  high  as  200  percent.  Adjustments 

must  be  made  in  increments  of  10  percentage  points.

The  percentages  are  calculated  on  the  normal 

programmed  run  times  for  each  station.  For  example,  if  a 

station  is  programmed  to  run  for  10  minutes,  and  you  set 

the  water  budget  percent  to  80%,  the  station  will  run  for  8 

minutes  (80%  of  10  minutes).  If  you  set  the  water  budget 

to  120%,  that  same  station  will  run  for  12  minutes  (120% 

of  10  minutes).

The  water  budget  feature  can  be  useful  for  cutting  back 

watering  during  cool  winter  months,  or  for  increasing 

watering  during  periods  of  unusual  heat.  Keep  in  mind 

that  the  percentage  you  set  applies  to

  ALL

  stations  on

BOTH 

programs.

Turn  the  dial  to  ADJUST  WATER  %.

The  display  shows  the  current  water  budget  setting

(between  10%  and  200%).  A  setting  of  100%  means

that  all  stations  will  run  according  to  their  normal

programmed  run  times.

Press              or              to  increase  or  decrease  the

percentage  in  10-point  increments.

When  water  budgeting  is  set  above  or  below  100

percent,  the  words  WATER  BUDGET  will  appear  in

the  top  of  the  display.

To  turn  off  water  budgeting,  repeat  steps  1  to  3,  and

set  the  percentage  to  100%.
