The rain sensor will turn off the system for awhile when you have a heavy rain.
Thanks RetiredGuy. Based on your suggestion, I checked my watering times and apparently my system was set to run for 1:06 at 100% on two of the zones. I remember the tech telling me the SolarSync will dial the time down from the 100% to maybe 40% on normal days. I went ahead and reduced the watering times to 40 minutes. I appreciate your feedback!!
