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.
Run your sprinkler and see how long it takes to get a half inch of water in the can â just like a rain gauge. Usually itâs about 30 minutes. So 20 minutes, 3 times per week will get an inch of water on your lawn, and 30 minutes 3 times per week will get 1 Â½â down. Bear in mind that during extreme heat, you will need to water more, due to evaporation and heat stress on the grass.
