One Zone On Water Surplus

Hi,

A weird scenario that has never happened before.  We have 5 zones - 4 grass and one trees (now bushes).  We have never had a scenario where only one zone would not water due to a water surplus - but, I just noticed for the last two weeks - even though it has been very hot - the trees/bushes zone has not watered - although everything else did.  I am guessing there is a problem, but do not know how to fix it.  Also - is there a way to see what will water tomorrow?

Let me know,

Thanks,

Aaron

  If the zone vegetation is set to Bushes, this means 20% less evapo-transpiration vs Grass *and* different root depths. Depending on the amount of water in soil it's correct that Bushes would see water surplus (with 20% less consumed from soil + a deeper root).

  Thank you for your response.  In this case, I don't think that explains the problem.  It has never not run for 2 weeks before.  Also, it has not rained in over a week and it has been very very hot.  Does that make sense?  I don't see how it could be.  Should I try Rebooting the device?  Would that help?

  Let me know,

  Aaron

  You can check the water surplus in each zone by clicking View and Manage below Soil Water Surplus in zone properties (in Web Interface). This way you we can make an idea how much water RainMachine thinks there is in the soil.
