WATER BUDGET
The Water Budget feature enables you to easily increase or decrease
the station run time (by percentage) of all stations assigned to a
selected program. This is handy for making temporary, overall station
run time adjustments without changing the original run time settings.
Water Budget values range from 0 to 200% in 10% increments, with
100% being the normal setting.
For example, as the fall season approaches and the temperature
decreases, you may want to reduce the station time for the stations in
program A by 30%. Later you can return station times to their original
values by setting the Water Budget value back to 100%.
Note: It is possible to inadvertently cause start time stacking when
increasing station run time. Careful planning and use of Water Budget
will prevent this from occurring.
To change the Water Budget percentage value of a selected program:
1. Turn the function dial to the Water Budget position.
2. Select Program A , B , C or D with the Program switch.
3. Use the + and/or – buttons to increase or decrease the percentage
value (0–200%).
4. Turn the function dial to the Run position.
Note: The controller displays the % symbol in the Run
position when Water Budget is in use for any program. During
operation, the adjusted run time will be displayed.
