Setting your sprinkler timer
Set the days first, then the start time. Early morning is generally the best time, because less water evaporates. Check every program on the controller, because leftover days on a second program are the most common way a home waters more than it should.
If a zone puddles or runs onto the street, shorten the run time and add a second start, or have the heads checked. Water on pavement is waste in every city we serve.
Not sure your timer is set right? A free 21-point inspection checks the controller and every zone, and we can program it for Parlier.
