How long and how often to water
To accommodate the special watering needs of different
parts of your yard, you can assign each Zone its own sep-
arate watering day schedule. You can set each Zone to
water either on specific days of the week or at
specific intervals between watering days (for example,
every second day).
In addition, your controller gives you a wide range of run
times to provide precisely the right amount of water to
each Zone. Settings may vary from OFF to 12 hours,
