To adjust the water budget for programs
In order to provide a full range of functionality, the BaseStation 3200 controller software includes an option to
increase or decrease the amount of time all zones in a program will water. However, we recommend that you use
other methods for adjusting the amount of water that your irrigation system is putting down. A healthier way to
water turf is to always water deep (about the same amount of time) and change the frequency of watering to
maintain the correct moisture level. Use the Day Intervals schedule for better results. Refer to Setting up the day
intervals for a program on page 49.
