15 Minutes might not be enough. Your lawn will tell you if it's not.

I used to water every three days but still had problems with it drying out. I cut the time by 1/3 and started watering every day. Lawn has never looked better. I actually save on water. If you're watering every three days, you're not going to shut your system off after a light rain. Watering every day, however, you can cut a day out after a light rain.
