They recommend about 35 minutes per zone, about once every two weeks right now, but that'll change as the year goes by. I had by Hunter set up for a little less watering time (15-20 minutes, depending on the zone), but @ once a week. And I had to change it throughout the year.
This seems much easier to use. The only thing I can't seem to find is if I can change the watering times in this set-up, or if I have to do a manual set-up. Any clues?

I'm very new to TV and will be closing on our new built house in Feb. so please forgive me if this is a bad question.....How does all the talk in this post of changing watering schedules and settings for this brand or that brand fit into the specific mandated watering time set by TV for your particular property? See this link.......

The Villages has put every single property on a mandated schedule according to CDD and specific lot number. For example, my new house is on Lot 25 in CDD 13 which mandates that I water at 1AM on Tuesdays and Fridays. See this link....

........so I guess my newbie question boils down to.......how are we allowed to change the watering schedule from what has been assigned to us by TV? I understand wanting to change the unit in the garage, but the actual watering schedule set forth by The Villages........is that allowed or are we just kind of conveniently turning a blind eye to that? Thanks much. This forum is GREAT!
