Summary

Now that you have your Rachio set, you may need to set the zones' attributes on the app. You may wonder what is stope type and how it is used, right? This article will help you understand this! It's important to have it correctly set because it affects your watering.


Slope affects the maximum allowable zone run-time within Smart Cycle

As the slope gets steeper, the maximum allowed watering time decreases (as illustrated in this support article). For steep terrain, a runoff will occur at a much faster rate. 

Flat (0%-3%)

Slight (4%-6%)

Moderate (7%-12%)

Steep (Over 13%)
