Quiz Outcomes

  You should try a Flex Daily schedule!

  Flex Daily Schedules determine when to water dynamically on a zone by zone basis; intervals will adjust based on weather conditions and soil moisture estimates. Disclaimer: If you have more than 3 days of restrictions, test out a Flex Daily schedule on one zone before applying it to all of your zones. While a Flex Daily can work with more than 3 days of restrictions, it's smart to be careful!
• 2.
  You should try a Flex Monthly schedule!

  Flex Monthly Schedules determine an optimal, predictable monthly schedule using historical ET data to adjust the watering interval and duration on a monthly basis to follow seasonal changes. This means Rachio will automatically adjust your watering intervals and durations to offset seasonal weather changes (you'll receive an alertwhen schedule changes are made). If enabled, Weather Intelligence features will skip waterings based on real time weather data.

  You should try a Fixed schedule!

  Fixed Schedules allow you to select which days you wish to water. Whether you have some watering restrictions or none at all, a Fixed Schedule will only run on the days or intervals you set (no matter what). If you have your schedule set to run on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, it's going to always run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If the schedule gets skipped on Monday, the next run time will still be Wednesday.
