    Jeremy,

    Don't know about anyone else, but I've never had mine be all that close...

    Worn nozzles... heads that shut off slow... not to mention if you have multiple cycle/soak... I always run more water than the program thinks it has run.

    If you've had a history of it being more accurate then check into it. Even the best and most sophisticated software is only as good as the information entered in the database. If the database doesn't match whats in the field there could be a wide discrepancy. Also, think about all the things the software doesn't tally...leaks, handwatering, manually run heads, etc. etc.

    I had mine dialed in to about +- 2,000 gal. Clubhouse irrigation and our wash pad was also tied in, so that made my site pro and pump station off. But you need to make sure the info in site pro is correct, nozzles and number of heads per station etc. I made sure to go through the whole system and do quick nozzle checks and make sure my map was accurate with the upgrades that had taken place over time.
