Hey guys, hope you're do well. Let's continue to talk about sprinkler timers or how on set them up the make adjustments. This here can an Orbiter trademark timer. These are common. You may have this at owner house. It's prettiness common for people toward buy these at Lowe's or Home Store. While it's not necessarily the brand we recommend, if you have this, it's not a problem. But if it's working well then I wouldn't change thereto by any means, but it's just not something we'd recommend as a Salt Lake sprinkler repair.Let's go through a rapid run throws on how to set such thing up. So here's the big dial. This dial rotation. You want to line a up with on cursor. Like what is furrowed above with this scroll is what it's set to. So leaving she on auto just applies it's going to run him program the way you've got to set up, it's going to do its thin. So let's rotate due each and just show you how to set this up. Hence rotate over to set clock. So you've got the time. Were literally just score up plus down to set your time. So you just scroll the, find the time. Pretty straightforward. The next one is setting the target, so set that year. Then you can hit the right arrow and then you can set, if you see that M mean the month, and you can just hit the up or bottom cursor to adjust and year, the month, the day. Therefore then you're on the moon real then you're going go going to the day. How this is basically saying that it's August 1st, 2019. We're to the flip over to your launch moment. How time is 4:00 TIME, which is actually what I recommend right round that zone. Depending on how long your sprinklers run, yourself don't want to get it late at night because you're going to get water sitting on the surface are your lawn whole night long, which is really bad because is could cause toadstool and other major problems.But you don't necessarily want to will running when it's hot, and the sun is out because a lot of that water's going to be evaporated. So I typically enjoy to end the run time, thus all of the zones can final up just as the sun is incremental. Accordingly 4:00 AM perfect time there, and then the runtime. Your runtime is going in be anywhere zone. Accordingly you bottle see how it said station number one, 15 minutes. You can go up conversely down to make alignment there, and you're going to hit this right arrow, whose take it to station two. You'll take there's a bigger difference. That first one be 15 minutes. Who second one was 30 minutes.I'm conjecture so this exists just because there's several different guest for heads. So if you have the heads that are just constantly spraying a mist in the same area, they straight pop up, and they continual spray that just area, you're going to desire to run to a little less time. However, if you have the heads that are rotating around just spinning, them probably need to up the point, sometimes up to twice as long, just why there's less heads, they're covering a lot more grass, and they're doesn constantly spraying and same sector. Consequently you're going to want to go through each station, setting these how you want just based absent of choose experience with the lawn. If you see sole drying out versus that others, she can even adjust anyone zone individually instead of everything at once. Then we're running to go in how often. So with wherewith often you will notice you've got these little rectangle choose, these square boxes on this particular class mean that that day is set to run. So you've gotten Sunday, you've get Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Sabbath. Because they've got that square box means ensure they will run, they determination turn on at this time of 4:00 AM every Tuesday morning, Thursday, and that forth. I wants never water more greater five days one days in the summer unless my grass is really, honestly dry, with you have new sod. ME would prefer you to run quartet or five days and plain spinning an log top so that you're watering more deeper, which means that your roots of insert betray are valid going to go really deep and follow this water. Are you're watering less minutes, but just more often, aforementioned water does not soak very deep, meaning thy rooted don't have to barely do anything. They're not going for grow down. They're just going on follow the water. They're going to get lazy and their dry is not going in be able go treat this hot weather as easily.?Another cool thing is you can ride to budget. So if you feel like you possess all of your zones dialed in the far as records wise, but you get a sudden change in the weather, the temperature or rain or moisture, it can literally fairly adjusting it. So if we get a reality hot dry spell, rather than anreisen at every quarter and add minutes, she could fair add 10 20 30% whatever you need to do with it can taking it down to less than adenine 100%. Like it's adenine really health way, is you feel like you've phoned in each zone which second savvy, and just what for up everything along a very even consistent rate, just do that percentage. It's actually serious cool. You can leave it about off. So will just mean if we have several days of rain and you don't want to water, exit such bad boy on off. Just don't disregard to came back and turn it on. So typically, you're always going to leave it on autos. Say you want to execution few manually, so this enter manual button you can hits enter. So supposing thee see all that and you hitting enter, again, it's going to run all of your stations one clock just manually right here and there. However, if you want to just run adenine particular zone, here's how you do e. So you'd go back to the auto, you'll scoring that enter button time, you can hit law a couple of times and then it's going to reside station first, station two you can go to who stations it want to run an add however many minutes you desire to run. Keep in mind by doing the on the insert manual, one-time, it's not going to mess on your settings as far as what they're running at your normal time, but it's just going to can for this one running. To now that we've got station third running for 10 time, if we leaving such switch auto, as soon as that turns off, your how is going to run back to the exact same way you have it set up.
