#### Manual adjustment of the irrigation quantity

In the Raindancer app, you can specify the desired irrigation amount in millimetres. Once irrigation begins and pressure is applied, the app displays the necessary retraction speed in meters per hour.

Here's how to use it:

Select the drum icon and navigate to Auto Speed.

Please note that any subsequent changes in pressure are not automatically adjusted for; to manage this, a remote control for your reel is required.
