How long should I run it?
Measure actual output with catch cups on your lawn, then calculate minutes = required water depth (mm) ÷ measured output (mm/hour) × 60. At the stated 9mm/hour reference rate, 5mm takes about 33 minutes. This is a calculation example, rather than a weekly watering recommendation.
Allow for rainfall, grass type and soil conditions. New turf and seed need a separate establishment plan. Use My Lawn Mate’s watering tools.
