Once you turn your control to run it may depending on rain sensor adjust to as much as 50% of the original setting
In Jim's defense his writing down times of each zone were most likely correct at time of setting.When you viewed the settings
with lack of understanding of the system lead you judge that he was wrong
That's interesting that you mention the seasonal adjustment. In fact, he suggested that this wire/feature should be disconnected...which he did. Thanks for that thought but that doesn't explain what happened; he simply made a mistake. The fact is, he was rushed, abrupt, and rude. That was our experience with him. His many positive customers ensures his continued success and I respect their opinions. The opinion of those of us who had an unsatisfactory experience should also be respected.
