I love the system, however, your tubing is cheap and needs to be of better quality. It' kinked in a couple spots, which effects performance. We will be purchasing better tubing and I think all will be well.

I had to repair a minor water leak at base of unit

It was a little tricky to set up. But I love the convenience. Wow.

Works as described, excellent for what it cost, and it is really valuable for watering plants when away. Our plants look great though we see them once a week. I am disappointed that one must have it water every day - we may put it on a separate timer to lower the frequency of watering. The tubing is inexpensive and can kink. The valves do not regulate flow very well, but they work.

The Plant Watering System worked just as we had envisioned, and proved very useful for unattended plant watering while I was on vacation. Installation/callibration took about 2-hours (includes mitigation of minor problems). Minor problems: Supplied plastic tubing is curled and has to be un-curled with a hair-dryer to be used; otherwise, the force of the tubing-curl tends to pull the sprayers out of the plant pots. Many of the sprayers were difficult to adjust and would spray at differing angels as adjustment was being made, requiring the sprayer to be re-positioned in the plant pot. Once everything is adjusted it works really well! P.S. I plan to buy natural rubber tubing to replace the unruly plastic tubing.

Much better design than the gravity feed model that I purchased last year

It makes too much noise

My plants survived my week of vacation just fine

Ran great after a LOT of fiddling. Right after the warranty expired, it did too. Its junk, no way to repair, find a better made product.

I needed it for watering 8 indoor + 1 balcony plants in my condo on 2-4 weeks vacations. It did this well, - I give it3 out of 5. Cons: 1 Takes time to install cutting tubes, fixing valves with some clamps to prevent stakes from popping out AND to adjust the valves. Even after a week of monitoring and fine tune-ups one plant was soggy after the vacation but all other were OK. 2 I wish it had 150 ml setting between 100ml 3.5 oz and 200ml 7 oz, and watering option every 2 days, rather than once a day. 3 Flimsy stock tubes. 4 Inaccurate timer - mine was rather 24 hours 20 minutes than 24 hrs, as it shifted gradually to later time, from 5 pm in the first day to 7 pm after a week. Considering noisy pump, it CAN wake you up if you are home, but this didn''''t concern me. Tips: 1 Replace the stock tube! It is thin, may kink and block the water flow. I went to Home Depot and bought 20 ft of clear Vinyl tube 3/8 Inner Diameter * 1/4 Outer Diameter. It is a little loose, so I used the stock flimsy tube as an insert/gasket: put it on the valve connector, cut up to the length of connector, and put the clear Vinyl tube over it. 2 Allow yourself 4-5 days to adjust the valves. Shut them all off turn clockwise, then open 1 full turn anti-clockwise. Turn on the Test mode, it opens the pump for 30 seconds. First 5-10 oz will simply fill the tube, and you won''''t see much water out of the nozzles. Some valves will pour, some will drip. It will re-set when unplugged, so you may set it on 200ml as well, and plug/unplug while adjusting - it distributes 200ml in 4-5 intervals, one interval is enough to adjust one valve. Adjust each valve one by one. Switch the unit off or unplug often while doing this, or it will swamp your plants for many days. If yo can''''t adjust some valve to little output, switch it with the plant that can take more water. After 1-2 days you will see the soil condition, and tune-up valves as needed. Check again next day. Then again. After 1 week of monitoring/adjusting I went on vacation and one plant still happened to get too much water. 3 Don''''t forget to place the unit so that the output nozzle is on the level or higher than the highest valve. 4 You may want to group the plants on some low stand close to the unit. Mark each pot at the bottom according to its number in line -1,2,3 etc. Next time you''''ll need less adjustments. What else? Ah, yes - it is made apparently in UK that''''s why milliliters, 200 ml= 7 oz, and marketed in UK under a different name for about US$25 - so don''''t be surprised by sales and promotions from Smarthome. I don''''t know anything better for this particular task, anyway.
