ET consistently above local reports

Yes, I posted in Arizona Turf Water Consumption and What Changed in Flex Scheduling, drawing similar comparisons. I’m not sure about the use of wind data on a PWS, though - I use an airport station.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a perfectly standard method of calculating ET, so I figure YMMV. (There’s Penman-Monteith but apparently there are different ways to use it.) I’d like to hear from Rachio about the differences in methodology since I’m an engineering geek who likes numbers. :nerd: But for now maybe we just use crop coefficient as a lever to compensate.
