Observations:
- Many plants were installed in last 12-18 months, so watering is more frequent than otherwise necessary.
- During winter months (November to February), reduce by 50%.
- During spring months (March to May), reduce by 25%.
- Zone 4 is not propertly hydro-zoned. We have water needy azaleas on same drip as drought tolerant manzanitas.
- Long term — separate the main line that feeds the irrigation and the rest of the house. Install meter to monitor usage.
- Query whether some of the main line feed to irrigation is going through the whole-house water filter. Need to figure that out.
- Check all zones monthly to ensure no popped or broken sprayheads, etc.
