A WIFI irrigation like B-Hyve makes it easy to make changes.

Watering recommendation from Deans, smaller yards probably have the low flow MP heads.
Based on my experience, the MP rotars due use less water, however to get the same amount of irrigation to your lawn, the system has to run longer. So now you pay more in electricity. I've changed out my MP heads to Pro pop up heads.
