Effective root depth which is generally considered the top 50% of the maximum root depth. Typical Root Zone is 4-6 inches for annual flowers and ground covers, 4-8 inches for cool season turf, 6-12 inches for shrubs and warm season turf, and 12-24 inches for trees.
Each type of plant is assigned a specific root zone depth, for warm climate lawns this is 6 inches. Here too, you can precisely determine the root zone depth in the advanced settings. Effect: A greater root zone depth leads to longer watering intervals and longer running times.
I'll bet the turf has very shallow roots and is very dependent on the constant watering, zero drought tolerance, even though it is an area that would benefit from training the grass to grow long roots.
If the controller can sense an open circuit, put a 10W 100Ohm resistor from the zone 1 terminal to common, this will draw 240mA and consume 5.75W of power. It'll get warm so don't attach it to the plastic case.
Setting the Sprinkler precipitation rate: Use the Catch Cup option in the smart watering details. Use flat bottomed/straight sided cans. i.e. tuna cans. Enter the test run time Enter the depth in each of the catch cans.
