"Okay, let's think about this. You're putting down an inch of water
once a
week. That means even if you can only run one sprinkler or zone at a
time,
you can have seven different zones. "

I don't know of anyone that runs only one zone a day.

If the zones do entirely seperate areas, then yes, you could do those
on seperate days. But even then I'm not sure how practical it is.

My irrigation system has seven zones, the controller has three programs and
I use all three. The first program is for the lawn and treed areas (zones
1-4), and runs once every three days. The second is for garden areas (zones
5-6) and runs every two days. The third (zone 7) is for isolated sections
set into paving blocks, which dry out faster, and a group of large pots, and
runs every morning, using micro-irrigation.

Now you know someone who runs only one zone a day. :-)
