What Is Seasonal Adjust?

Most modern sprinkler irrigation controllers have seasonal adjust settings. These buttons offer a convenient solution to changing weather patterns by allowing you to make across-the-board adjustments to watering programs on a percentage-based basis. During the summer, for example, most people keep their seasonal adjust buttons set at 100% for 90-degree days. When the temperature shoots up to 100 degrees, the seasonal adjust button can be switched to 120%. In turn, run times will be lengthened by 20%. This saves you from the tedious hassle of having to reprogram everything – only to switch it all back a few days later. If your system has this feature, be sure to learn it and put it to good use when needed. Using the seasonal adjustment properly along with proper maintenance will save hundreds of dollars each year in water and sprinkler repairs.
