For example, if a stationis programmed to run for 10 minutes, and you set the WaterBudget to 80%, the station will only run for 8 minutes (80% of10 minutes). If you set the Water Budget to 120%, that samestation will run for 12 minutes (120% of 10 minutes).NOTE: Water Budget will not split a minute. Onewhole minute is the lowest run time allowed.1.
