Cycle and Soak is an efficient irrigation method that breaks a long watering session into shorter, multiple cycles. This technique:

• Slows down water application

• Helps water penetrate the soil more effectively

• Prevents runoff

• Promotes deeper root growth

• Leads to healthier plants overall

How It Works in ImoLaza

ImoLaza’s Cycle and Soak feature gives you two options:

• Smart Cycle: Let the system automatically calculate optimal watering and soaking times based on your setup. (Recommended)

• Manual Mode: Customize the watering and soaking durations to suit your specific needs.

If you find the Smart Cycle’s recommended times don’t work for your landscape, you can easily adjust them.

Example Scenario

Let’s say you have a schedule that starts at 5:00 AM and is set to run for 60 minutes total.

With Cycle and Soak enabled, here’s how it might work:

• 5:00 AM – 5:20 AM: Watering for 20 minutes

• 5:20 AM – 5:50 AM: Soaking (no watering, allowing water to seep into the soil)

• 5:50 AM – 6:10 AM: Watering resumes for another 20 minutes

• 6:10 AM – 6:40 AM: Second soak period

• 6:40 AM – 7:00 AM: Final 20-minute watering cycle

✅ Total run time: 60 minutes of watering over a 2-hour window.

This approach maximizes water efficiency and ensures your soil and plants get the hydration they need—without wasting a drop.
