Default Smart Zone settings

Each Smart Zone can be set to a preset, e.g. Frequent, Deep, Boost, EPA, etc.  If you click Customized, you can choose the Min and Max Soil Moisture, and the Flow Rate (inches/hour).  Presumably, there is a default value of these three choices for each of the presets.

How can I find out what the presets are for these three values?  e.g. for the EPA preset, what is the Min, Max, and Flow Rate?  Same question for all of the Smart Zone presets.

Thanks!

Ken

Dear Ken, 


These numbers are computed base on your configuration, e.g. mode, plant type, soil type, sprinkler type, and are  not open to public. Roughly speaking, the low/high are around 60%-90%, which is also a good starting point if you want to use customized mode. The flow rate is based on sprinkler type, a good estimation is : 

mister: 2.0inch/hour

fixed spray head: 1.5inch/hour

bubbler: 1.0inch/hour

rotor head: 1.0inch/hour

rotary nozzle: 0.7inch/hour

rotary emiter: 0.5inch/hour

It seems that if you want more frequent watering, you would increase the Minimum Soil moisture. What, however, is the the advantage of setting the Max Soil moisture at 90%, instead of 100%?

You can set 100% for sure. Some plants do not like too much water. 90% is wet enough for most plants.
