Fun Facts: To keep your yard healthy with just enough water, it is important to set your timer with a watering schedule that suits your area considering the amount of rainfall you usually get. For example, in central Florida, a suggested watering schedule is two days a week (such as Monday and Thursday) with an irrigation run time that varies by month, as described in the table below. January--12 minutes July--49 minutes February--10 minutes August--60 minutes March--17 minutes September--48 minutes April--40 minutes October--43 minutes May--64 minutes November--32 minutes June--50 minutes December--16 minutes By following a similar type of schedule in your area, you can save about 10 - 20% on your water bill. However, keep a close eye for signs of excessive wilting if rainfall is not typical. The amount of watering needed can vary by the types of plants you have in your yard.
