Making an Irrigation Schedule

If you are planning to water either on selected days
only (P2), or up to three times a day on selected days
(P3) it is important to make a watering plan before

the days you want to water, the number of times you
wish to water each day, and at what time you want
the watering to start.
Consult this plan while programming the Controller.
