Automatic drip Irrigation System，DIY Indoor Plant Watering System,Self-Priming Pump, programmable Timer, Indoor Pot Plant Watering Device

I have tried various solutions to water plants while I'm away. All failed the trust test.Gone 5 days and came here and all my plants are still alive. Almost identical to when I left.The 7 gal tub was almost empty.Fed 2x a day for 4 minutes at just about wide open.Yes, ism sure thst there are online capable systems out there, but this is just for when I am gone a few days.Really like this a lot

I ordered this Automatic Drip Irrigation System with the hope of keeping my zillions of plants well watered after I bring them indoors for the winter. Of course the system isn’t big enough for zillions, so I decided to hand water my favorites, and use this system on a few that I could stand to lose if I screwed things up.Set up was a little overwhelming when I first opened the package, but after laying things out it really wasn’t as difficult as my eyes told my brain it would be. it all makes sense and went together just fine. The quality of the tubing is actually pretty decent, and it doesn’t kink up like thinner tubing can. It takes a little trial and error to figure out how long your water supply will last and what settings you need for each plant, but it gets easier as you go. You need to consider the humidity, sunlight, and any drafts/fan breeze that can dry soil out when you set each ‘waterer’ for your particular situation.The pump is fairly quiet and it hasn’t given me any issues in the month I’ve been using it. It’s set up in an area of the house that doesn’t get a lot of traffic, so it’s easy to forget it’s even there, unless you pay attention to all the life-support tubing, which i’ve tried to disguise under ferns and leaves.This has been a good set up so far, and I’ll update my review if anything changes. Happy so far!

This is a little tricky to set up. And all the math to figure out the rate and how much water my plants need was honestly a little overwhelming and I was afraid I was gong to under or overdo it. In the end, I’ve decided to save this set up for my starter plants in the spring. This unit will water many plants but it will all be the same rate so you should have similar size plants with similar water needs. I may also use when I go on vacation but leaving the pump and the water reservoir out for everyone to see while also stressing about whether they are getting the right amount of water didn’t work for my lifestyle. The unit works was described once you figure it out and I at least like the clear tubing so that you can disguise the set up as much as possible.

I set up an indoor vegetable garden with some of my favorite plants used in cooking. I have an automatic grow light to provide the light, and this automatic watering system for the water. It works great. Have you ever had green onions cut moments before cooking? Wonderful.The setup was pretty simple. The first thing to learn is the flow rate. My testing showed that the pump moved about 2 cups per minute, which I believe is about 1/2 L/min. With this known, you just set the length of time the pump should run and how frequently.

This little pump does what it's supposed to. It is fairly easy to set up. The bigger questions are. How much water does it pump? How long do I need to water? and, How much water should I have in the reservoir?Unobstructed, the pump puts out about 18 (~2 1/4 cups) ounces per minute. The sprinkler heads, which are well-designed with a hollow stem into which the water is injected, seem to have a maximum flow rate of around 10.5 ounces (~1 1/4 cups) per minute. This can be reduced by screwing the cap down on the spike if you have different font sizes that require different amounts of water. Two sprinkler heads could absorb the entire flow from the pump.We have five large (14") pots with tropical green foliage. (Think Fern bar.) If I put on five stakes each stake will get about 3.6 oz of water per minute. A 14 inch pot needs about 24 ounces of water a week or twice that if in a sunny window. If I set this timer to water every three days, I would need to set the how long timer for between three and six minutes of watering. If I want to go on a two-week vacation, I will need between two and 4 gallons of water available for the pump. If I want to give 30 ounces of water per pot per week, a 5-gallon water jug would last me a month.Thats all well and good, except my wife does not want a 5-gallon jug of water sitting on the floor next to her beautiful houseplants, which sit on the floor of our dining area in front of large windows overlooking a Koi pond.In summary pump is small, fairly quiet, does not run very often, and can be hidden behind a large pot, but the water reservoir requires a fairly large container that would be hard to hide. That's not a problem if you're only going to use it for vacation watering, which I suspect is what we're going to do.
