Selecting the right program
Setting the day schedule
Dividing up your yard
Stations let you assign a specific run time to one or
more sprinkler heads controlled by a single valve. This
makes it possible to deliver the correct volume of water
to areas of your yard with different watering needs.
For example, you might assign Stations 1, 2, and 3 to
lawn areas on the sunny side of your home and Stations
4 and 5 to lawn areas in the shade. You might then
assign Station 6 to a flower garden.
In the example above, you might set run times of 30
minutes for Stations 1, 2, and 3; 20 minutes for
Stations 4 and 5; and 15 minutes for Station 6.
NOTE: You need not use all Stations available on the
controller.
