How much yo water yard in heat?

[slow99]

St. Augustine. Right now I'm at 15-20 minutes 2x a week for the yard. In the heat of summer I kick it up to 30 minutes per station 2x a week. I run the flower beds 10 mins every morning in July/Aug.

You're almost assuredly in violation of your city's water restrictions at 30 mins per zone, 3x a week.

We're allowed 2 days. That is what I've got it set at currently, 10 minutes per zone.

Just remember , when it gets hot , July and on, you can run multiple start times and with small lawns , still be within your rules. Running 2 start times per day is actually mush more efficient than running all at one time .

We use this method on our new yards.

It's just a scaled down version, for example, instead of running each zone for 30 min during a cycle, simply split the time to 15 min each zone for cycle one then the same immediately after that cycle has ran start the second. You get a much deeper watering without any run off, and if you have a small area that only can take 2-3 min before run off use a completely different program (most only use program A, but most controllers have A B and C programs)and run it 3-4 times. There are many ways to get watering more effective it just takes some work.
