Why are the master irrigation clocks set at Eastern Standard Time?
For a number of reasons the master clocks are left at Eastern Standard Time. The first is that for many homeowners it is difficult to make arrangements to switch the house irrigation clock because they are part-time residents. We also found that many people just forgot to change irrigation clocks. Another reason is that by changing times twice a year on 348 home clocks (not to mention the complicated master clocks), errors are bound to be made. Some of the less important reasons are: cost of having the clocks changed 2 times per year; inconvenience to owners; and cost to homeowners who are unable to change their own clocks.
