WATER METER
Water budget (optionnel)
The Water Budget adds a percentage of time to the duration of each station. It is normally used when changing seasons. Ex: If you entered Station 1 = 1h on Program A and Station 2
= 0h30 on Program A, then enter a Water Budget 120 % for Program A. When the Program A starts, the stations 1 and 2 will be increased by 20%, (ex 1h12 for Station 1 and 0h36 for Station 2).
MONTHLY WATER BUDGET
The Monthly Water Budget allows you to add a percentage to the station time indicated in each of your programs. This means you can define a percentage for each month, enabling you to anticipate seasonal weather changes.
The idea is to take as a reference the watering time of each of your stations for the month of July, which will be the maximum watering time. For this month of July, you will define a Monthly Water Budget of 100%. The other months will have lower percentages.For example: March = 50%, May = 80%.
This Monthly Water Budget is added to the Water Budget indicated in the program.
SETTINGS
By default, if you don’t use it, the Monthly Water Budget is automatically set as 100% for every month of the year. To set up the Water Budget functionnality:
- Connect to the programmer by activating your phone’s
- Go to the product settings by clickingthe green gear at the top right of the screen.
