Many common irrigation controllers have a schedule adjustment option, labeled as Percent Adjust, Seasonal Adjust, Water Budget, or just a “%”sign. This schedule adjustment option allows the user to adjust the irrigation schedule for all irrigation zones at once with a single percentage change more easily than manually changing the runtime minutes for each zone. The sprinkler adjustment recommendation is based on a percentage of the maximum “base schedule.” The “base schedule” is the number of minutes each of the controller’s watering zones is programmed based on the maximum watering need, which tends to be in the July-August time of year. Once the controller is programmed using the “base schedule,” utilizing this percent adjust feature will allow the user to adjust your weekly or monthly irrigation schedule quite easily.
If you have a weather station or a WIFI irrigation controller, these changes are performed automatically daily. No adjustments needed.
