That's still a lot of time. When we moved in and had the walk-thru with the builder, she set the timers on 9 minutes and in the winter they went down to about 6 minutes, that's back when I had grass. I don't have any grass now, so that's different, but still that's a lot water and when May gets here, you're sensor should pick up when we have rain and cut them off, I just go ahead and manually turn it off that time of year.
