New Installation - Trying to Understand How Watering Works
Just replaced traditional controller with RM and it is pretty easy and cool. However, I set my first program and how does it figure out how long it will run the program? I set the the type of sprinklers to rotors on each zone. Created a program to use the zones and 35% of the suggested run time (from 2 hours to 36 mins). RM then executed the program and only ran the program for 12 mins. The schedule of the program is to run 4AM.
Thanks for the help!

Suggested zone times are based on a normal *summer* day, it's 100% watering. When RainMachine receives weather data, precipitation etc it will reduce this duration. It can also increase this duration if there is a really hot day or for example a hot day with low minimum temperatures (the difference from minimum to maximum temperatures has a big impact on evapotranspiration)
