LCD Display Solar Drip Irrigation System Kit, 30 Working Modes & 10 Watering Interval Solar Powered Drip Irrigation Kit Supports 15 Potted Plants, 2200mAh Automatic Watering System for Garden

The front of my house is ugly. Its on a main road, and there is nothing but sidewalk and road. I have a lawn and garden, and its mormal suburbia in the back. So I spent my time making my backyard and garden looking nice before i even thought about the front. Well i finally got a couple window planters and a couple really nice stone bowl on a pedestal planters, and at least the front pops with a little natural color now. I went on a 6 day road trip about 7 and half hours south of here back on 6/20, and the weather turned out to be the first heat wave of the year. Although it had already been one of the hottest last month of spring that I remember. I didn't even know they made irrigation drip machines that weren't giant ones used for farmland, or medium ones for greenhouses. Bought this, tested it out the day before we left, and it worked as advertised. I hid the water bucket behind one of the pedestal planters. When I went away, I asked my neighbor to, a couple times, please check to see if they were alive and the soil was moist, and fortunately they were. When we got back, the plants looked as good as before. (not to say they all looked great; my green thumb isn't so green haha) It's worked just as well since we got back watering on the schedule I set. So far, so good.

This solar drip irrigation system was a life saver. The modes and watering intervals made it possible for me to make sure that enough water was delivered to our flower pots without flooding the roots. It is great value for the money - and since it is solar - there is no battery. It was easy to set up and functioned perfectly throughout the whole summer.

My biggest annoyance is that I can not see anything when I push the buttons. Thought maybe there is a cover over that part, but that does not seem to be the case. Also it does not have an end cap, like any other drip system. So I guess at the end you need to put in 2 blue spikes. Waste of time and effort. I can hear that the pump is trying to work. So I figured I try again the next day and let the unit charge another day, which it should not have needed since we have good weather here. Also the water line is way smaller than 1/4" lines. More like a toy instead of something useful. At this time I do not even have an ideal how long I would let to have it run to get water to my little new plants. 3 minutes don't do anything. There is enough water in my barrel. So yes, very dissapointing. Tried 9 min today to see. I am going to stay with 1star.

I have to give this 5 stars because it does exactly what it says it will do and nothing more and I can't fault it for not doing more than it says it will do. However consider this a warning if you are purchasing these. If you would like to add additional lines to the system it won't work terribly well. These little pumps really can't handle much more line than what they come with. So don't purchase these with the intent of buying more line and sprinklers seperatly to add to the system. The little guy just can't handle it. That being said this was easy to set up, and works great with my rain barrels, I think I am going to switch it from my garden beds to my herb pots though.

I ordered this Solar Drip Irrigation System Kit to water large planters that contain vegetables. I have a raised bed vegetable garden on one side of my house that uses standard drip irrigation components. In my other side yard, I have a lot of large pots that contain more vegetables, some herbs, and a few berry bushes. I can't use normal drip irrigation for those pots without running a hose across a walkway, though. We also try to use as much gray water as we can for irrigation, so being able to siphon water from a bucket seemed like a useful feature. Setting the system up is fairly straightforward. Programming the unit is relatively simple. As suggested in the instructions, I let mine sit in the sun for a full day to get charged before connecting it. It did not take very long to get all of the drippers connected to the main unit. I turned it on to verify that it was supplying water to each dripper before inserting them into the soil in my pots. The main disadvantage of this unit is that there is no way to control the amount of water delivered through each dripper. Yes, you can specify how often you want it to run, and how long you want each run to last, but you can't control the amount of water the way you can with a traditional drip system just by switching out drippers based on gpm. With this system, you have to overwater smaller pots in order to get sufficient water for a large pot. I haven't tried connecting standard drippers to this unit to see if they will work. I can't really tell what sort of water pressure this unit delivers. If you need a way to keep plants irrigated, this system will work so long as you have all of your plants in more-or-less the same sized containers. Unlike another system that I tried, this one does not seem to care as much about the relative height of the controller vs. water barrel vs. drippers. It seems like it would be easy to add more drippers, but again I don't know what the maximum flow rate for this unit is.

Love these! Saves time standing in the hot green house to water plants and still not getting enough water. They can be set for different watering times and days. We have a couple of these and ordering more. We purchased water barrels to attach these to so water can be provided to a large green house on the hour. Easy to put together, why did I not do this sooner???

It’s not water proof…… it didn’t last outside during the winter

I have a lot of pots and over-railing containers. I have been testing out the unit and it does circulate the water. I bought 20-gallon garbage cans for use since I have hooked up about 15 outdoor pots on a unit that are 8-12 inch sized. With the railing containers I have 3 connectors since these are long and narrow. Every day it runs for 20 minutes. I figured the volume of water that it delivers to each container is about 2 ounces/minute so I need to run it long enough to deliver about 2 cups of water which I estimated for my purposes will equate to an inch of water per week. So far it has worked. I started with 5-gallon buckets but soon decided that I need to run the pump longer which meant I needed more water. I am trying to see how many days 20 gallons might go. So far I am liking what I see but it has been a few days. The directions says that the system delivers 400 ml/min. I am hopeful the experimenting will work as I figure I can find someone to fill the buckets easier than I can find someone to actually water all the pots. I measured the soil wetness where the water trickles about 3-4 hours after it ran and it is in the moist to wet zone so that is good. I plan on running system daily but may be able to cut back on the running time. As someone else mentioned you really want the pots to be about the same size or for the larger ones you may need to insert additional emitter, which is what I did in some of my pots.

Me gustó mucho
