Default Excessive water bill

Something to consider. Remember those of us who live south of 466A have very different irrigation controls. These new systems water outside of your programmed periods as detected by this new system. I too had an irrigation/excessive water use issue shortly after moving to this new area . KB services came out to check the system and couldn't find an issues so I ended up calling the company in California who make the irrigation system. I was told that these systems were not designed for tropical areas such as Florida, but rather for places like Arizona. I was told how to disconnect wiring within the box to prevent the auto watering system from engaging. Once this was done, I was able to set my programming for specific days and times without any additional watering being automatically done. So this may be something you might want to check out.
