Default Re: SAVE $ ON IRRIGATION WATER BILL
Just curious how many zones are you watering and how long were your zones set for? Some need to be longer than 15 minutes for they cover more area especially where run off is not a problem. I find it highly improbable that you will reduce a 30,000 galllon useage to only 4,000 gallons and still provide sufficient water to your grass especialy in the heat of the season. I think I am running about 6 or 7 zones and my low irrigation water useage has been 12,000 with a peak of 22,000...the difference being it rained some months just before the sprinker system was set to run.
