 ***********************************
 
 Sets the multiplier value used to proportionally increase or decrease the run duration for all valves/zones.
-When a given valve is activated, this value is multiplied by the valve's run duration (see below) to determine the
-valve's actual run duration. *Note that a multiplier value of zero is allowed; if the multiplier value is zero, the
-sprinkler controller will not start any valves.* **This can result in confusing/unexpected behavior if a visual
-indication of this condition is not available!**
+For seasonal changes, it’s easier to use the multiplier to adjust the watering time instead of adjusting the
+run durations directly. Set your run duration to the time you want for ‘mild’ weather (spring/autumn) and then
+use the multiplier to increase (summer) or decrease (winter) the calculated run times. When a given valve is
+activated, this value is multiplied by the valve's run duration (see below) to determine the valve's actual
+run duration. *Note that a multiplier value of zero is allowed; if the multiplier value is zero, the
+sprinkler controller will not start any valves.* **This can result in confusing/unexpected behavior if
+a visual indication of this condition is not available!**
