Calibrating sprinkler output

Hi,

Firstly, I have a Sprite and love it! Easy to install, easy to set up and I'm really impressed with it.

I have a smart water meter so I know exactly how much water each zone uses and I can see that the Netro Sprite's estimate of water used during irrigation is about 75% of the actual usage as reported by my water meter.  This means that I am probably over watering.


Is there an easy way in the app to calibrate the expected flow rate (litres/minute) of a zone's sprinklers such that the smart algorithms deliver closer to the amount of water they think is needed?  Or put it another way, instead of calculating it needs to run a zone for say 10 minutes, they would just run for 7.5 minutes.

Dear customer,


Netro may not have over-watered your zone. Netro's water usage is based on zone area and it is the estimated value that may not be accurate enough.

However, using a flow meter can help to improve the accuracy of the estimation. If your flow meter is not accurate, the data estimated by it may be biased. Nevertheless, overall, Netro is doing its best to help you optimize your watering and reduce water waste.


Thanks,

Wency
