Suggested Vs Custom Duration - Rainmachine Pro-16 Quick Start Manuals

Suggested vs Custom Duration
Watering durations for each programmed zone can be set by:
Suggested duration (recommended): Pre-calculated from the
properties of your zone (soil type, plant type, sun exposure and
location) for a typical summer day. If Weather-Adaptive option is
enabled, this duration will be constantly adjusted based on weather.
Custom duration: If you transition from an old controller, you might find
it easier to use your previous duration. If Weather-Adaptive option is
enabled this duration will be constantly adjusted based on weather.
The RainMachine adjusts these durations based on three weather
choices: live, seasonal or "do not adjust".
Example: more watering is required on hot days, than on cool days.
If rain is forecast, watering will be reduced or completely suspended,
leading to substantial water savings.
