On an in-ground sprinkler system, which would be better for the lawn (details inside)?

Asked by rojo (24179points) August 18th, 2017

Would it be better to water every day for “x” minutes or every other day for “2x” minutes?

You would use the same amount of water and should use the same amount of electricity but which would do the lawn more good?

Seems like the every day one, if set right, would produce less runoff but are the plants better off for it? Would it depend upon such factors as temperature? Would water loss through evaporation differ?
