Planning Your Watering Schedule

It is always helpful to plan your watering schedule on paper before beginning the programming steps. You will have a record of your watering schedule and station loca- tions which can be kept with your GreenKeeper 212 after it is installed. A watering schedule form is provided on page 12 for you to fill out.

◆Guidelines For Watering

There are several factors to be considered when decid- ing when and how long to water. For example, the soil type (i.e., clay, loam, etc.), the part of the landscape being watered, climate conditions and the type of sprin- klers being used. Because of these variables, we cannot provide an exact schedule to follow, but here are some general watering guidelines to help you get started.

•Water early in the morning, one to two hours before sunrise. You will have the best water pressure at this time and the water can soak into the plant root zone while evaporation is minimal. Watering during mid-day or in the evening may cause plant damage or mildew.

•Watch for signs of under- or over-watering and make program adjustments immediately.

Filling Out The Watering Schedule Form

When filling out this form, use a pencil so changes can be easily made. Carefully remove the page from the booklet to use as a guide during programming. After installing the controller, fold the form in half and store it in the pocket behind the controller.

Refer to the example form shown on the opposite page and fill out your form in a similar manner with the follow- ing information:

•Location - Identify the location of each watering sta- tion and the type of plant being watered.

Note: Enter the following information for each pro- gram. If the program is not needed, leave its informa- tion column blank.

•Watering Day Schedule - For a Calendar schedule, indicate which day(s) of the week watering is desired. For an Interval schedule indicate the desired Interval number. For Odd or Even days, simply mark the appropriate box.

•Station Run Time - Indicate the amount of run time (1 minute to 4 hours) for each station. Write “Off” for any station which you do not want to operate in the program.

•Program Start Times - Indicate the time of day to start the program. Each program can have 1 to 4 start times per watering day.
