HASTHIP 12Pcs Drip Irrigation Kit for Garden Home Office with Slow Release Control Valve Switch, Self-Watering Spikes for Pots Plant Automatic Plant Water Devices for Travel Vacation

The media could not be loaded. Ordered with a suspicion. Tried. Found working Amazingly well. Easy to install. Drops should be set at a rate of Approximately 1drop per 30 seconds. The more the better. I did the math. 1 drop equals approx 0.05ml. that means 0.1/minute. 1litre for 10000minutes. On an average 1 litre Water will keep the plant alive for a week. No leakage. Thanks Amazon.

I have more than 20 plants, I wanted if I set it up for every plant in such a way that I only have to fill the bottles and it keeps giving water for 7 daysIt does not work in that way. Every time you have to remove the entire setup, fill the bottle and then set the knob again. (It does not drip, you have to open the knob fully, let the water flowing then start closing to reduce the drip speed.) Not useful at all in that way. I wanted to buy 2 more set (planning to have more plants). Thank god did not order. Too costly and then not repeatable.

It will take some trial and error to get this going. I was travelling for 8 days some time back and I have 17 pots that needed irrigation. After some trial and error with bottles, drip times (the equation given on the pamphlet is BS) and placement I had 15 of them going after about 5-6 hours of work. Prepare your fingers and do some breathing exercises beforehand. Long story short, although all my plants survived, the drip only worked (drained fully or partially from the bottles) in about 10 of them. I am also thinking because of the 'bubble top' nature of this (compared to the other model) it is an easier task. No Mseal required.Pro-tips:Get sturdy bottles of 500 ml. Larger ones collapse much more easily. Absolutely no Kinley bottles, they have the structural integrity of stale cotton candy.A drip tempo of approx 25 seconds is easier to achieve than 30-40 seconds.DO NOT remove the small sponges in the holes, they are essential for the drip. I found out the hard way.The water WILL spill on to the little catchment cup when you flip it and THEN start dripping. Adjust the screw when this happens.Now knowing all of this, a youtube video or a more detailed instruction from the vendor would've helped, I had to figure out most of this myself even though it's not too tough to figure out. -1 star for that. Although a 3.5 star would be more accurate overall.

The watering device and the bottle cannot hold onto each other. The water just drains out of the bottle as soon its inverted. Tried to tie rubberbands, threads to give a grip to the bottle so that water doesn't run out. It's not working.....the ridges on the watering spikes are letting water run out instead of dripping.

I had great expectations but was utterly disappointed. It can of course only work with bottles which are not cut below, you need to keep them closed. Do not peirce a small pin hole either, or you will put water everywhere when you refill it to but it back in a pot/growbag. When you need to put it back upside down, that's where your gesture will need to be careful and slow, otherwise you may splash water everywhere. In all, not a good product, but it's hard to find convincing material in drip irrigation...

Its a good quality product but make sure to use hard plastic bottles only. This system kept my plants alive for 2 weeks.

Product works as per the description. But needs regular checkup to ensure its working as expected. I'm using it since three weeks and does its job fine.Whenever the water in the bottle is completed then refilling it means you need to set the knobs again to ensure free flow of water.Don't think this is an exactly an system you can use when you are in a vacation. Its little costly for the work it does.

As the spike is smooth after a while the whole setup tilted causing the water to overflow from the sides. Great concept but needs a bit of trial and error.
