I used the product as described and it really is a waste. Perhaps in laboratory conditions it might work but didn’t work in our lawn. It didn’t give enough information to change anything in our watering.
There are too many variables in type of sprinkler, how far from the cup etc. to make it an efficacious tool.

I bought these to use with a new B-Hyve automated controller. It took a couple hours to get all of the measurements, and went much quicker with 2 people. I plugged all the numbers into my B-Hyve system, and it built a completely automated sprinkler schedule. Coolest thing I’ve ever seen, and now I don’t even have to think about my watering schedules. Haven’t seen any issues with under or over-watering with the automated system. The controller is much smarter than I am for scheduling. Great product that I’m very happy with. Got a great deal on the cups too! OrbitOnline had the best price!

I did the catch cups on my b-hyve app and the grass is grass an the water bill went down. I would recommend this to anyone who has a b-hyve controller.

One of the input parameters for the B-Hyve controller is the application rate of water supplied by your sprinklers (inches/hour). If you haven’t measured the actual application rate, the default rate is 1 inch/hour, which is essentially a wild a$$ guess. The controller uses this parameter (among many others) to determine how often and for how long to turn your sprinklers on to maintain the soil moisture within the minimum and maximum limits. What I had been doing before getting the catch cups is adjusting the frequency and duration times up and down depending on the physical condition of the grass (getting too much or too little water). It is fuzzy science, at best, but it gives a reasonable starting point that can be adjusted from depending on the condition of the lawn. Better than a wild a$$ guess, but not a scientifically accurate/precise measurement. Will buying these things save you water or make your lawn greener? Maybe. Is it worth the cost and effort? That’s a personal judgement. For me, it was a nice science project. 🙂

These were very easy to use simply place two feet away from a sprinkler head and then evenly distribute in each zone. Most of my zones overlap so I had to move them and run the stations twice. Easy to read with one hand. definitely worth the investment to see how uniform the water is applied. My backyard was almost 100% but my front lawn was 50% uniformity. Now I know that I need to install a sprinkler head and not waste a bunch of water.
