Great guy and a pleasure to deal with but walks and works at 20 MPH. HE'll find your problem.

Not sure what type of home you have and how many zones but general rule of thumb is ... plants 15 minutes, lawn sprays 30 minutes and rotors 50 minutes, 2 times per week. If there are dry conditions, I usually set mine at 3 times per week but reduce the times a bit. With that said, some homes which are very close may not need their sides and backs on for 30 minutes if their neighbors water reaches their yards as well. Every homesite is different.
