Look around at all the yards that are wind-burned and dry today. Look at a weather app and water when the winds are low, and yes, water every day at that time. Divide your recommended watering times for the two or three days by seven and water every day at the right time. There is no set-it-and-forget-it setting for your irrigation timer; it is up to you, as the owner, to pay attention to our weather patterns. What is an extra $25 dollars a month to keep everything hydrated?

Thank you for mentioning the most important fact which means how much rain we are getting which would dictate how often you should be watering your lawn. I also find it amazing that most people don’t even bother to ever go out and put their irrigation system on to see if it’s working or if you have Certain ones that are broken or just to monitor that the system is working properly.
