5.1 Watering Modes and Scheduling
The RAINPOINT system offers two primary watering modes:
- Normal Watering Mode: Set specific start times and durations for watering cycles.
- Cycle & Soak Mode: This mode allows for frequent, short watering cycles followed by soak times. This is ideal for slopes or dense soils to prevent runoff and ensure water penetrates deeply to plant roots, improving water efficiency.
You can set up to 20 watering plans across both modes to meet diverse irrigation needs.

5.2 Intelligent Rain Delay
The system can automatically skip scheduled watering based on local weather forecasts to prevent overwatering during rain or snow. You can also manually set a rain delay for 24, 48, or 72 hours via the app.
