SO, basically this season I want to start off nice and fresh. I deleted my old schedule and want to add a new one. I went to add FLEX DAILY, but it seemed liked WAY TO much water; something like 9 hours. With that being said, what is the best way to approach the watering schedule. Ideally, I am looking for something that is a SET IT and FORGET it. Any advice and or input is appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, to start sometimes it does seem like a lot of watering. If it seems like too much to me, I go into the schedule, and into durations to adjust the watering times down.
@mailbag It is important to remember the bucket rule when starting a new flex schedule.
Your bucket, regardless of size can hold X amount of water which will be 100% of it’s capacity.
We try to refill the bucket when it is 40 to 50% empty.
Starting a new flex schedule will tell the Rachio that your bucket is empty and will automatically want to fill the bucket and therefore use more water than you expected.
