Fixed watering (disable weather for program)
I see a lot of posts about less watering than what was setup. But find no fix after a year of owning my Rainmachine. I can manually set up my watering and it will water for the set time per zone. But, I have found NO way to set up the programs to water 100% of my set times in program mode. My sand on the NC coast will take all the water I give it. Just have no need for "water saving". My well will deliver whatever I need, but the Rainmachine keeps trying to save me water. I have turned off Adaptive Frequency, set my soil type to "Sand" and it still will not do 100% of the set time like in manual mode. Is there something I am missing. If I want to water for 30 mins in trying to establish my yard, I want to water for 30 mins. NOT 15..... If someone can tell me how to set up the program to automatically do what I can do manually I will be very happy with this product.

Hi,
For the program that you need to run 100% no matter what, using RainMachine Web app, choose to edit your program and on "Weather Adjusted Zone Duration" select "Fixed" instead of "Weather-Adaptive Watering".
On mobile apps this setting can be found by going to Programs > Your Program > Edit Program > Advanced Settings.
The "Adaptive Frequency" that you turned off it's used to skip cycles of watering not forcing zones to run to 100% of your entered duration.
Hope this helps,
Thank you.
