Initial review: I just installed this system a few days ago, and wanted to give my fresh impression. Product: the kit has everything that you need to set up a watering system for 20 plants. The hose is a bit stiff, but otherwise I am very satisfied with what you get. Installation: I set up my system for 15 potted plants, and it took several hours. Installation is actually extremely simple - once you get the hang of it, things start to move along quite quickly. Some people reported that leaving the hose in the hot sun makes it more flexible and easier to work with, but I found that I was still able to put everything together by hand on a cold, cloudy day. Programming the timer is also very straightforward. Once it was all set up, I was pleasantly surprised to see everything working exactly as intended - all of my distributers are functioning correctly, dispersing the same rate of water for every pot, and I haven't found any leaks in the system. Value: the price is incredible - I had no idea that I could have an automatic watering system for my garden for only $35. I opted to get a 25psi pressure regulator, as many recommended, so that added an additional $11. Still, the value is amazing. If this system holds up for at least one season, it will have easily paid for itself in the time saved watering my garden, not to mention the improved quality of my plants from more frequent watering.

This was my first drip system to set up and use. I give 4 stars based on the following: Pros 1. Easy to set up, all I needed was a pair of scissors to cut the tubing and a hammer to secure the tube clamps. Did not have to preheat the tubing, just pushed in the barbed connectors into the tubing with my bare fingers and everything worked just fine. 2. Total time to set up for 6 pots spread around my patio was about 1 hour, which involved running a tube up and over my garage door. Without that step, would have been more like 20-30 minutes. 3. Timer was easy to figure out and start using right away. 4. Plenty of tees, elbows and emitters. Cons 1. Not nearly enough tubing clamps provided. I had to borrow from my hardware stash to secure about 20 ft of tubing, putting a clamp every 18 inches or so. Also there are not as many stakes as there are emitters. I feel there should be a one-to-one ratio of those. 2. The drip rate that comes out is not adjustable. So because I have different size pots, I had to put 3 drip emitters in a large 20" diameter pot, while a smaller 8" diameter pot only gets 1 emitter. Even with that, the 8" pot saucer overflows after a watering cycle, while the larger pot's saucer doesn't even fill up. I am going to replace them with adjustable rate heads so I can balance the system. 3. The drip tends to go straight down through the high-quality potting soil in my pots, and does not soak sideways very well. I expected more even distribution side-to-side. I am going to try out some "bubbler" type heads to see if that gives me better coverage.

Very easy to assemble for my eight tomato plants in buckets. Timer works great. Some of the drip heads did not work. Contacted the seller and response was immediate with replacement parts arriving a few days later. Great product. Definitely a good buy!

It was easy to set up and seems to work well. The timer unit seems solid enough and easy to program. I worry about the plastic hose connectors popping off, but so far okay. It is battery powered so no need to have electrical outlet.

Great kit, easy install and works perfectly. I got it for my plants on our rooftop so I don't have to worry when I am away. Local stores wanted about $100 for a similar setup. NOTE: It does not come with a pressure regulator like in one of the photos but I did not need it. Took about 45 minutes to setup on my rooftop to 9 pots. Larger pots plan for 2-3 heads smaller pots like in my photo are great with one dripper. Did not have any problems inserting the dripper heads but I did leave my hose in the sun to soften up. Make sure you place your pots and run your hose your desired route before cutting. The kit comes with 75' of hose and enough heads for 20 smaller planters. They all flow evenly and put out a good amount of water. I would buy this kit again. Instructions were clear and comes with everything you need. Enjoy!

Excelente kit, fácil de instalar y programar. Muy útil para no desperdiciar agua.

Once set up it will do the job
