My question is how many times a week do you water and does it change during the year. Do you shutoff system december/Jan once a week until May/ 2 times a week in the summer etc......?

Thanks for your help
According to Water Wizard on VCDD web site a premier north of 466 total water usage should average 21200 gal. South of 466 outdoor usage should average 17700/month. More info here:
