Do you water in stages?

Do you water in stages? For example, say you want to apply 1 hour of watering per zone. Do you simply do:

  • Zone 1 - 60 Minutes
  • Zone 2 - 60 Minutes
  • Zone 3 - 60 Minutes

or do you do it in stages:

  • Zone 1 - 30 Minutes
  • Zone 2 - 30 Minutes
  • Zone 3 - 30 Minutes
  • Zone 1 - 30 Minutes
  • Zone 2 - 30 Minutes
  • Zone 3 - 30 Minutes

The only time I would do the stages is if your ground was really hard and the water didn’t sink in well. Otherwise you’re just making it harder on yourself.

I can’t water more than 20mins before I get too much runoff near the drive or the street. My zones are all set for 15mins and run every other day when very warm. Most of the time I have my system off.
