Just create your new seeding program and uncheck all the days on your regular program until you finish the grow in program. That's the work around.

​@@Analyzer52 how do you do that without having to go into every zone to modify the normal runtimes? in other words, I can uncheck all the days from my normal program so it doesn't run. but when I create the new program, I want i need to specify a new runtime for all zones. a fixed amount - say 10min. seems like there has to be a way to create the program with the same fixed runtime for all zones without having to manually go in and change that runtime setting for every zone. just like you do when you manually run multiple zones and overwrite the normal runtimes with a fixed number.

@@jeffborkowski Unfortunately, I think this is the only way. I'm working on it now. I'll let you know what I find out. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I thought you could create a speeding program without changing the time for your normal program.

@@jeffborkowski I just did it and didn't have to mess with my normal watering zone times. I setup a grow in program to start immediately and end on November 2 with it watering every day for 10 minutes per zone. I then went to my regular solar sync program and clicked on watering days which is set to every 2 days and I set it to start watering on November 3rd. This means it will not run the regular watering program until the grown in program finishes on November 2nd. Make sure you have the newest version on the app. They updated it a lot earlier this year. Hope this helps.

would love to see another short video of you setting this up from start to finish. are you building a preconfigured schedule which looks like it allows me to specify a runtime and interval for watering X times per day. but then I don't see how to trigger the pre-configured schedule. whereas if I go in to create a new program start time, i don't see where to override the runtime.

Glad it helped. Enjoy the holidays.

When a fescue lawn is about 4" tall it's time to mow. See this video for help ruclips.net/video/4WV3qkIbhg4/видео.html

I like Lifesavers ;). Thank you for the kind words

lol

That's great. I'm glad it helped.

Winterizer is a late fall fertilizer. Usually the heaviest one of the season. We typically apply this in November.

Thanks Billy, glad it helped. Welcome to KC. BTW lawn seeding season is end of Aug through Sept. You can completely renovate a lawn at that time if you want to tackle it. Let us know if we can help.

That’s great!! Glad it was useful and thanks for letting us know, made my day.

If I have 2 valves do I turn both valves 90 degrees ?

It's our pleasure, glad it helped.

Thanks Frank, I still really like it. I wish the cut quality was a bit better and more suction for leaf pick up but I may be a perfectionist. All in all very happy

Unfortunately Yes, most of the time we find the shut off in the house when there is no backflow device. But there is no rule on that. When there is no backflow device the system was probably installed by someone who didn’t understand what they were doing and the rules go out the window. Good luck.

Glad it helped. You made my day, thanks for letting us know.

great! glad it helped. I'll be sure to pass it on to our team.

My pleasure!

Awesome thank you!

correct, either ball valve will work.

This is the backflow device for your sprinkler system and will not effect the water in the house. Yes you will still have water inside your home.

@@HeritageLawnsKC Awesome. Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry I didn’t show that better. I am turning a small valve in each port to a 45 degree angle. On the side of each port is a screwdriver slot to allow this. By turning it to an angle it allows any water trapped in there to get out and not freeze. Hope this helps

I have the ball valve turned off. I turn the screwdriver slots (3) on top of the valve 45 degrees. With the main valves at 45 degrees solid streams of water come out of the 3 ports. Why does that happen? Is there a port underneath?

@@JOB-jz9yd Was your water turned all the way off?

Do you turn the main water supply back on?

Our pleasure, we are glad we can help. Thanks for the kind words.

Our pleasure, thanks for the kind words.

In the Kansas City area Sept is the best time to reseed if you need to thicken your lawn. We are also pretty dry right now so watering 1 inch per week will help it bounce back too.

In this case there was no erosion and the ground was fairly level. So the solution was to mow low the day before and water deeply the afternoon before seeding. Next day we aerated one pass then verticut one pass. Spread seed evenly and then a starter fertilizer. Worked all that in with another pass of the verticutter in the opposite direction and started watering to keep damp. Fescue seed will germinate in 14-21 days depending on soil temp and moisture. good luck

Hi Pablo! In the winter we turn off the water supply, use an air compressor to remove all the water from the system, and leave the test ports open as a procaution. This will prevent any freeze damage to the system.

Sorry for the delay. I just saw this. No the area doesn’t have to be mulched.

Hi Christopher, thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your experience! I watched your linked video, that's extremely frustrating. Hopefully, this is a feature they will upgrade in the future so others don't experience the same!

yes that should work. If the ground isn’t frozen the turf can take up the nutrients. You don’t have to wait to water since there is no weed control involved. Water right away if convenient. Mulch the leaves if you can but the fertilizer should be in solution and in the soil after 1 or 2 waterings. Then if you have to bag or blow the leaves off you can. I hope this helps.
