365 calendar for odd/even date watering

Meets the Odd/Even date watering mandates often used for landscape water reductions

Master valve/pump start circuit assignable per station

Stations requiring a booster pump can be supplied while other stations can run on street water pressure

Bore level recovery (delay between stations

0-59 secs, 1-59 mins, 1-2 hrs (Option of pump circuit ON or OFF during delay) Bores that need recovery time from ground water between stations would not need the pump circuit on between stations

Rain delay up to 9 days

Test all stations program

Manual station advance

During automatic, semi- automatic, and station test cycles, allows advancement of operation up through the stations
