INSTANT DRIP WATERING GRAVITY FED IRRIGATION PLANTS GREENHOUSE SYSTEM WATER KIT

I ordered 2 kits, to serve ground plants and those on shelving. They arrived very quickly and were easily installed. It's a bit fiddly trying to get the water drip rate right, especially on a long run but once that was sorted the system works well. Not sure how much the height of the bag affects water drip rate,( still experimenting), but I am pleased with the purchase.

Useless! The drippers can’t be properly set, they just don’t work, meant to work like a little tap but the flow can’t be regulated therefore the bag empties in no time. Lesson learnt, if you buy cheap don’t expect anything else but badly made and shoddy. Not worth sending back. Grrrrrrr!

This is a pretty good product for the price I think. I set it up in my greenhouse and the pipe is long enough to do nearly 2 sides of a 5 X 6 footer. The bag is strong enough to hold the water and the handle has not broken under the weight, so good from a quality perspective. The drippers all work fine too. Useful for a day or two of self watering when I am away, but I can't slow the dripping down enough to make it last longer.

The water bag is like a beach blow up cusion. The valve is exactly the same as a blow up cusion. The first problem then is that the valve includes the little non-return aspect of these common valves. The result is that the hose will not push though the valve as it needs to. I solved this by using a drill of the correct diameter to remove the offending unwanted non-return flap in the valve. Take great care of course not to drill through the bag. Next problem was that the hose does not make a completely water tight seal with the valve (it drips a little). I solved this with a small cable tie pulled tightly around the valve. With these modifications the kit works okay. It is of minimal quality but let's face it is very cheap. The 7 adjustable drippers are quite clever.

To woter my plants in my g/house wen i am not ther.

When I first received these and set them up along my flower boxes they worked well. They were fiddly to get started though as the pipe has to be kept on a downward gradient. Trying to get the correct drip rate is very time consuming and if not done right the bag empties in less than one hour. The slightest rise will stop it working. After the first month I noticed that the water was not leaving the reservoir bag. The slightest bit of grit or debris blocks it up and despite washing the bags out they have stopped working altogether. I was also getting fed up with the amount of time I was spending on them. I was spending more time trying to solve the problem than it took to water with my watering can. So for now I have gone back to my watering can and I suppose the positive of that is that I am getting more exercise.

Never used, too fiddly

What did I dislike? Absolutely everything about this product! Compare the two items in the photo - on the left, this item, and on the right, the vastly superior Garland Big Drippa. From the packaging you would think they were the same. Not so, absolutely everything is different, the bag (thinner), the hose (thinner diameter), the bag to hose connection (more like that of a cheap beach ball), the valves (completely different, even the colour), the bag holder (that was for nailing to something, absolutely useless in an aluminium greenhouse!). But, heyho, I carried on obliviously (there are no instructions) cutting the hose to fit the valves and when all was connected filled the bag with water, then to be confounded as to why the valves were not regulating the water supply. On closer examination of the valves, three were split. I wish I had not tried this as I feel that I cannot return it to Amazon as I have cut the hose. Steer clear at all costs. This really is a product where you should be able to award no stars.
