Smart zone watering some zones multiple times

I have eight zones with smart watering enabled for all zones. I noticed this morning when looking at scheduling that a few of the zones will water multiple times in the same morning. For example, Zone one will water for 4 minutes, Zone 2, Zone 3 excetera. Then it goes back to Zone 1 for 3 minutes, and maybe zone for for 7 minutes. Is this normal?


I have inserted a screen shot.Notice the zone, "house left."

Netro will break up long run times into smaller segments which allows for better water absorption.  Also, if you have slopes programmed into your zones Netro will break up the watering schedule into two or more segments depending upon the degree of the slope in order to avoid run-off. Based on the short run times you are showing I suspect you have a fairly steep slope programmed for that zone.

I’ve noticed this for the first time this morning. My front lawn is scheduled for 39, then another 35 at the end. Is this normal and I’m pretty sure this is the first day it’s done it. Why today? Not that hot by the way. Thanks
