Weekly Watering Schedule
Scheduling Pattern
Select Watering Days:
Run Time Per Watering Day: 75 minutes
Cycle and Soak
Divide watering into shorter cycles to prevent runoff on slopes or clay soils.
30 minutes
Cycle & Soak Schedule: 3 cycles of 10 minutes with 30 minute soak periods
For optimal performance with minimal runoff, consider dividing total run time into multiple shorter cycles with intervals for water absorption. For slopes or clay soils, a cycle-and-soak approach is recommended.
