Automatic Watering System for Potted Plants, Plant Waterer, DIY Drip Irrigation Kit with Smart Timer, Waterproof LED Display & Large Capacity Battery, Precise Distribution of Water (White)

This watering system is awesome! It came sooner than expected delivery date so that was cool. It has adjustment leveles so you can control how much water your plant receives and at what times of day. Its small and convenient for space . I’m currently only using it for one aloe Vera plant. I disassembled it today , I’m going to repot it and switch the medium and plant another aloe Vera and use it on both to get the most out of my water system . It has washers to make system feed up to 10 plants! So I’m allowing it to dry some before repotting… the moisture you do see on the plant and in the medium is all from the water system . It waters everything, I just allowed the medium to dry some . The hose you see is long and is to be cut when setting up for multiple plants and add washer . If you have houseplants like my aloe Vera I definitely would recommend this system .

I use this Automatic Watering System for when I go on trips. I live in an apartment and I have a bunch of indoor plants. It is easy to put together. Everything that is needed is supplied. The control panel is easy to use. The unit is rechargable and the battery lasts a long time. I'm not sure how long the battery lasts but I ran it for over a month straight with no signs of it needing to be charged. It was programmed to water the plants every three days. Before I left for my trip I placed a pan under all off the pots in case the water overflowed. When I came home I found that the watering system performed flawlessly.

I got this for watering my plants inside while I was gone. But it ended going outside for a big potted plant that is mostly covered from outside elements. After SIX months, the horizontal LED line on the bottom left for the first number is OUT. My 0 is now a ∩. my 3 is ꟻ you get the idea? But the thing still waters on schedule and charges fine. PROS: Waters pretty accurately from the times I have timed it and rewaters at the same time everyday if you set it by day. (Will take you a few tries to set it the way you like if it is your first time) Directions under Cons Battery Life on this is pretty good. Usually lasts me anywhere from 2-3 weeks when I water the plant daily for 3 mins since it is super hot here. (Or you can leave it plugged in if you don't want to charge it) Tip: Double click the Power/Save button to see a number 0-10 for approximate percentage of charge corresponding to 0%-100%. There is no warning of low battery so you have to check. The tubing and strainer is great. Tubing is dark and prevents algae growth. It is also pretty rigid but flexible. The strainer with the marble weight works great in keeping out bugs and debris. But there are some downfalls... CONS: When first setting up, you have to set the time and frequency. The duration of the watering (How Long) and how often to water that duration (How Often). (You press the Power/Save button once to save the specific setting, if it turns off you will have to reset it) You have to press the Start/Stop button at the time you want to start your first watering. Then after it is done watering the duration, it will water again according to the Often settings you have set. (Note: There is no internal CLOCK SET that would let you set a specific start time AM/PM). (You have to do this again if the device is turned off or loses power) The drippers and clamps that hold the tubing are garbage. I do still use some but they do not compare to rainbird or any other watering brand drippers. They leak out where you use the twist knob if you try to turn it too low (or tighter) to where it drips (THIS IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE). But if you loosen it too much they nearly shoot a stream out. They also lack barbs on the end that goes in the tubing so make sure you get a clean cut and seat it all the way in to dripper. TIP: To prevent the dripper from leaking at the knob, use some quality teflon plumber's tape, I was able have it drip PERFECTLY and even turn off without any leaks! The C clamp stakes barely fit on the tubing and when it does it has a chance coming loose THEN the dripper on the tubing goes where ever it wants and waters everything around it. (To prevent this make sure it is tight and MOST importantly make sure the tubing is installed at where it naturally flexes to, zip ties help too) DOES NOT WORK with rainbird 360 sprayers or any sprayers. It will just dribble out of the sprayers if you use those, the pressure isn't high enough for those. It ONLY works with drip emitters so their small 0.5 to 2.0 gph would work). The pump isn't strong enough to use with sprayers but is decently strong if you let it spray directly from the tubing. Overall, the watering device works with some trial and error. You would have to try it several times and adjust the drippers accordingly before leaving and trusting it to water your plants as requested. But following the setting directions above will get it working right away.

It worked fine, until it didn’t. The first time it failed the “tip” at the end of the hose came off causing the entire pot to fill nearly causing a flood. The 2nd time a tip came off the hose shot water all over my office. I was on a call in my office when it happened, thanks goodness, or it could have been an even bigger mess. I don’t trust it anymore and won’t use it again. Avoid it or find a way to really, really, really secure the hose tips.

Overall this watering system is easy to set up. The lowest watering quantity is still pretty high, so for my small plant I just set it up to water every 3 days with the minimum amount. That kept my plant alive for several months without any management (except occasionally replenishing the water source). Unfortunately the device completely stopped working recently. This is only 5 months in. I only noticed because my plant has started to wilt. It's unclear exactly when the failure occurred, because the display doesn't stay on so you can't tell without pushing a button on it whether or not it is functioning. Now the device just flashes zero when turned on and can't be configured at all. Considering whether I should buy a new one or go with a different model.

It is very useful for our garden on the balcony. The tube and dropper are enough for 10 plants. For whatever configuration, we can easily clip the tube and use T joints to distribute water. We experimented the time of watering and frequency for a few days and found the optimal value. It is a huge relief for us, even while we are not traveling. Watering 10+ plants back and forth can be tiring and this system helps to reduce the burden. Some suggestions: 1. For users, try not changing heights very often among pots since lifting the water up will consume power. Although the pump can lift water up from the ground, It would have the best effect to place the machine at the highest place and take advantage of the potential. We saw weird behavior that some intermediate dropper has no water when we vary heights too often. We confirm rather than clog, it is the magic fluid dynamics. Let the height gradually decrease will prevent this. 2. For product, it would be better if we can see the battery level in real time so that we can have an estimate about when to recharge. Now we can only know by checking whether it is working.

I looked at a lot of different systems I chose this one for a couple of reasons. It came with adjustable droppers. The tubing is black so no algea. It has a rechargeable lithium battery not AA batteries. It's water proof. The no siphon protection.. Now that I have up and running the droppers are great and provide what ever flow I need down to a very slow drip. The tubing is amazing It's soft and easy to connect. I am going to ask if I can buy more of the tubing for my other systems. If came with lots of connectors enough for just about any setup. It is so much better than the other tubing I have from rainbird. I did some testing with running it over and over to measure the battery and it will easily last a month. I have carnivorous plants and have to use filtered water so this system is perfect. Super happy thinking of getting another for other side of my porch.

Purchased due to being away from home for several months. Set up was some trial and error on how long to set for how much water was applied. You are able to adjust the amount per line that is applied per plant - which is nice if some plants need more that others. Tested it many times and left it running on its own. Some plants were over watered, but that's on me. It did work and was reliable. Will use again when needed.
