I'll check into that. I was assuming the sticker on my box was a rule or restriction of some sort so I didn't allow the Rachio to do anything except the schedule I set.
ETA: I just set up the Flex Daily. Will see how it goes. Thanks for the tip. I hadn't really looked at that before. |
Lots of good advise here.
The chart on your box seems ambiguous. I listen to the professional lawn care folks.
People have received letters for a history of over watering if over 7,500 gal/mo for a Villa or 10,000 gal/mo for larger lots. They blamed this for deterioration of some streets. So watch your irrigation bill with that as a target.
Having water run down the street indicates over watering As others have suggested, a controller that lets you break up watering into four short cycles helps avoid this and is most efficient.
Flume makes a device that lets you monitor water usage on you phone remotely and detects leaks.

Catching one broken head while you're away will easily pay for it.
