How Settings Affect Irrigation

Sand

Soil

1

Clay

Longer cycles, faster evaporation

More & shorter cycles, less evaporation

0%, Flat

Slope

2

45%, Steep

Fewer cycles

More cycles

Low

Sprinkler Precipitation

3

High

Longer run times

Shorter run times

Low

Plant Type (Kc)

High

Less watering

More watering

Lower

ET%

Higher

Less watering

More watering

Full Shade

Sun

Full Sun

Lower ET, less water

Higher ET, more water

1

Sand has higher infiltration rate, but lower water holding capacity

2

Cycles do not affect total amount of water, only how much is applied at once

3

Lower precipitation rates require more run time to apply the same amount of water

Version History

The ET Module is run by special software called “firmware”. There have been several features added or improved over the life of the product.
Version 17, 18: added 7 day watering histories, ET Global Adjustment percentage.
Version 19, 20: streamline watering history and added Non Water Windows and related features.
Version 21: Product package includes 100’/33m approved wiring for ET Sensor.
