4. Using the table below, first look up the water depth in the top row. Select the present season and find the number of
minutes suggested to water. This value (along with the suggested day interval) will be used to set initial watering times for
each Automatic zone.
Note: The time for rotor zones will be very different than popup zones.

Note: These values are guidelines only. They are representative of Kentucky Blue type grasses in moderate climates. Southern

a desired moisture level.
