If you choose to enter the time and frequency, the following fields are available:
Watering Length The number of minutes this zone will run for each time.

If you choose to use a preconfigured Watering Schedule you can either choose from a
list of schedules you’ve previously created, or add a preconfigured watering schedule by
entering the watering length and frequency and schedule modifications. If your
controllers are managed by a contractor, you may see preconfigured watering schedules
that your contractor has created, which you can also use.
Note that the Schedule Adjustment option in a preconfigured Watering Schedule is not
used for Smart (ET) watering zones.
Cycle and Soak
Cycle and Soak is the ability to break the watering time into periods of watering (cycle)
and pause (soak) to allow the water to soak into the soil without runoff.
You can enable or disable Cycle and Soak. If you enable it, you need to specify the
cycle and soak periods:
• Cycle Time- the maximum number of minutes the zone can run
• Soak Time- the minimum time between zone waterings to allow the water to soak
into the soil
Tuning Adjust the watering time for this zone from the calculated time. This allows you to fine
tune your watering if your zone appears to be too dry or wet.
