The WeatherTRAK controller features an ADJUST menu that allows for adjustments in watering. Two types of adjustments can be made:

1.  Adjusting water amount which increases or decreases individual station run times.

2.  Adjusting day frequency increases or decreases the water days without changing runtimes.

Changes can be made on a station by station basis. This feature allows for fine tuning of a specific or several stations without applying a percent adjust at the program level. For example, if a specific station appears too wet, you can use the “water amount” option to decrease the station’s runtime. The range of adjust is 50% less water to 25% more water in 5% increments. Conversely, if a station appears to dry out or stress between irrigation cycles, you can use the “Adjust Day Frequency” function to resolve the condition.
