Your sprinkler system will adjust in a few ways. When we come out to perform a startup we will adjust your timer for the current weather. Throughout the season you may choose to leave that timing alone or adjust it as you see fit.
One of the most clever ways is to allow your timer to adjust itself using weather data from the internet. Should you need help or a refresher course on operating your timer please call our office and we will walk you through it.
