I replaced the old technology hunter sprinkler controller with a smart wifi sprinkler controller that I can operate thru my iPhone and Siri.
This controller (my last 2 houses had this too) breaks up each zone time into smaller runtimes that allows the water to soak in instead of runoff. For example, if each zone is set to run for 60 minutes, the system will do 4 passes running each zone for 15 mins. So zone 1 will run for 15 mins, then zone 2 for 15 mins, and after zone 4 runs for 15 mins it starts over with zone 1 again.
Plus my system is linked to a nearby weather station so if it is raining or about to, the system alters it’s watering schedule
