C.3 ET Programming Example – Public Park
This will be the final modification to our small public park example. We will enable the irrigation
programs to be Evapotranspiration based. This feature of the RME EAGLE controller will
automatically adjust the base watering schedule for changes in the seasonal and daily weather
patterns. Refer to Table 14 – 30-Day ET Adjusted Water Usage to review the ET water savings.
