To achieve this goal most spray head zones (sprinklers that do not rotate) need to run approximately 15 minutes and rotor zones (sprinklers that do rotate) need to run approximately 45 minutes. If you have much slope on your lawn areas you may need to run 2 cycles but with shorter run times on the zones.
How Long Each Zone Should Run. Each irrigation zoneâs run time should be determined individually. You want the controller to run the system long enough to put 1/2 to 3/4 inches of water in each zone. Typically this is twenty minutes for shrub sprays and forty minutes for rotars. For sandier soils, the 3/4-inch rate may be required.
