If you have in ground sprinklers

What time of day do they go off? Just trying to figure out when would be best.

Re: If you have in ground sprinklers

ours start at 3am or so and have a 2 hour cycle. It's good for us b/c it doesn't interfere w/ showering and such.

Re: If you have in ground sprinklers

Ours go off at 5am. My dad told me it is not good to run them when the sun is up and out, like mid-day because the water on the grass will actually burn it. I run early!Chat Icon

I was told this too. If you water it in during the night the grass will grow fungus and if you water it in the middle of the day the grass will burn.

Re: If you have in ground sprinklers

They go on so they don't interfere with showering, so around 5:30.

6:30Am. Early morning is best. Based on the responses we could probably water ours earlier.

Re: If you have in ground sprinklers

ours start at 4:30 am. We have 7 zones & the whole property only takes a little over an hour. Two hours of watering is alot especially with how much rain we've had. I over-ride ours all the time depending on how much it has rained.
I'd rather be a bit more conservative with the water.

Re: If you have in ground sprinklers

Thanks everyone! Ours are going off at 3am (I think) and my neighbor told me that's a weird time so then I started to second guess our landscaper.
