ADVANCED FEATURES
Cycle and Soak
The Cycle and Soak feature is an enhancement to the existing X-Core
controller. It is designed to aord customers the ability to minimize
runo due to dierent soil and terrain characteristics.
The Cycle and Soak feature allows you to split a station’s runtime into
shorter watering periods. The shorter watering periods will help prevent
run o in situations like slopes or tight soils. It is recommended that the
Cycle time is less than the station’s watering time, and the Soak time
for the water to be absorbed. The total number of cycles is determined
by taking the total programmed station run time and dividing it by the
Cycle time.
