@mrbarr911 it depends on what kind of pop ups. if they move, i let them run every other day for 20 min. if normal popups, i let them run everyday for 5 min.

Would have been good to mention that the best time to water is in the early morning hours when it is cooler vs. the heat of the day when water can evaporate.

Great info... I have Rain Bird pop up spriklers, If I water once a week, how long should I let it go for?

Thanks. Did not know about the "driving down" of water. I was using a back and forth type sprinkler. I think I'll spring for an impulse type one.
