Turn a catch-can test into a practical irrigation schedule in minutes.
Use this as a planning estimate. Verify product labels, local conditions and supplier packaging before buying or applying materials.
Runtime in hours = target water depth ÷ sprinkler application rate. The result is converted to minutes.
SproutScale preserves full precision while calculating and rounds only the displayed result or the final purchasable unit.
Run the zone for a known time, average the depth collected in several cans, then convert that depth to inches per hour.
Cycle-and-soak scheduling gives compacted or sloped soil time to absorb water.
