% WATER BUDGET - SEASON ADJUST
The Season Adjust 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. % Season Adjust 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 % Season Adjust value back to 100%.
NOTE:
It is possible to inadvertently cause start time stacking when increasing station run
time. Careful planning and use of % Season Adjust will prevent this from happening.
