THANK YOU!! We moved into a home, the meter was set up incorrectly, where my water bill was $800. Turns out, it was set to 40 minutes, per zone x 6 zones everyday! and the water budget was at 100%. Your video helped me set it up correctly, and I am confident our water bill will be much lower! Thanks again for the great intuitive video.

I just had sod installed. Directions indicate I should water twice a day. First time for 40 minutes in morning, and 20 minutes in evening. Have been trying to set second watering for a different duration, but it just reverts back to same duration as the first time. Is there a way to change the duration if you are watering more than 1 time per day? Thanks Gary.

Unfortunately no, your water time you set will just be duplicated and second time. You might just spread it out 3 times per day for 20 minutes. Ask you guy that installed if they would be fine with?

Yes usually, I suggest manually turning the 2 zones on at the same time (at the valves) to see if you have enough water volume to do that. The valves would normally need to be close to each other or most timers won’t have the amperage to send enough current to two different locations on the property.

When displaying the run times for zone 2, it shows the new setting as if Saturday/Sunday are the only days I want to run that zone. I just want to change the weekend to run an hour later. How would I change the setting? I will not be home when it supposed to run Monday-Friday and need it to run as planned. Zone 1: All days: run at 5 am; 1:00 pm; 4 pm Zone 2: Monday-Friday - run at 6 am; 1:45; 4:45 Saturday-Sunday - run at 7 am; 1:45; 4:45 I will be changing 1 week from today to run 2 times a day.
