I just added Hydrawise to my Hunter ICC2 through a faceplate upgrade. I really enjoy the interface over the Centraulus interface, which I has used previously.

I'm intrigued by the virtual solar synch (VSS) feature and am wondering if others who use it are happy with it or have any tips. I have 17 zones, 10 of which are for my lawn, and I created a lawn program based on timed events as I had when using Centraulus. I would manually adjust the run percentage if I saw a particularly warm or cool few days coming up but that was a wag at best.

I want to try the VSS but there does not seem to be a lot of info out there other than setting it up for what normally would be the max zone times for the summer. I understand VSS will reduce the water times when appropriate, but will VSS force longer times if there is a really hot stretch?

Put another way, for reference, I normally have my timed lawn program set to run 4 days per week here in Northern Colorado. During hot spells I'll bump it up maybe 20% and/or go every other day. I run the lawn program twice per day (5am and 830pm) and the zone times range between 17 and 22 minutes during each of the two runs.

Would that be a reasonable place to start with VSS or do I need to bump it up because VSS treat those times as a max?

Hope that makes sense.
