• At least once per month, adjust the irrigation controller to account for any weather changes. Here in Texas, changes to the weather can be quite sudden and extreme.
• Consider installing a rain shutoff device, soil moisture sensor, and humidity sensor to prevent your irrigation system from operating when it isn’t needed.
