Irrigatia SOL-C12 Solar Powered Automatic Plant Watering System Irrigation Kit For Greenhouse Gardens Balcony Hanging Basket Plants Drip Irrigation With Water Level Sensor Water Timer, Sprinkler Timer

I love to grow plants but am absolutely useless at remembering to water them regularly, no matter how hard I try! I've been playing with different options for a while and finally came across this system. Absolutely in love with this system. The fact that you don't need a power socket and you don't need a mains pressure tap really helps make this system a real winner for my balcony garden! I used freshly boiled water to help soften the tube ends which makes it easier to insert the drippers and t-pieces and ensures a tight seal once they've cooled and shrunk again. I have 2 drippers each on 3 medium balcony boxes and 4 drippers at the top of a felt vertical herb garden (so 10 in total so far). I will be getting the dripper extension kit as I have 2 hanging baskets, a climbing plant and some sunflowers I'd like to have automatically watered! I accidentally put the non-return-valve (the blue 'dripper') on the inlet rather than the outlet because I wasn't paying attention so the system didn't work initially. Luckily I figured it out and when I put it on the outlet it worked perfectly so I'm really happy. I had a moment's panic after work as I hadn't watered the plants in the morning before leaving and had forgotten about the system. When I got back the system was busy dropping away and everything was well watered without supervision. Absolutely incredible and precisely what I was after! I got a pre-opened, return package with damaged box at cheaper cost which helped to afford the system as it's very expensive. The system seems to work absolutely fine and nothing is missing so definitely worth it!

Good product does what it says and easy to set up. Main issue is that for something so small it's really noisy.

Pretty easy to set up and works like a charm once you have the dripper positions properly adjusted. My tomatoes water themselves and the amount of water adapts to changes in the weather. All I have to do is pinch out, feed and harvest. Now I've had it a couple of years I'm mainly impressed by the after service - this product can actually be maintained. If you have a problem, it can be easily opened up and has modules that can clipped in and out to replace. It has a service line where people who understand their product actually help you to fix your problem, even sending out spare parts – genuinely a breath of fresh air in a world where most products end up in landfill when the most minor thing goes wrong.

It is very difficult to know from the instructions how to set up the system if your planting is in different levels (e.g. in a greenhouse). We found that we had to add seep tubes to the system to prevent all water coming out of one nozzle. Additionally, in warmer weather, the pipes just pop off the connectors so that all water exits from one open end of a pipe. Each junction needs to have a cable tie on it to keep it from slipping off. Really not worth the money. The pump is pretty decent but that’s about it!

This has been fantastic over the recent heatwave, with no power needed to operate it other than daylight. Previously I would have had to visit my greenhouse twice a day to water, but now I go to check every so often and this irrigation system is handling it. The step by step instructions to set it up were relatively straightforward. It does make a noise when the pump is working, but it is not very loud or longlasting. Once set up you can easily change settings so it will deliver more or less water. I have it set up to water along a long and short side of an 8'x6' greenhouse. If you needed to cover a longer length you might need an extension kit. Highly recommended.

The pump is very feeble, only supplying water to the first two pots. It is very sensitive to the levels of the pots. It simply doesn’t work.

This purchase is a replacement for one purchased five years ago from Agriframes and the quality is still as good as before plus the up date of a water level sensor. These units perform magnificently and any one who has hanging baskets, and we have 10, would find this relatively small investment will pay back over and over again in terms of keeping the baskets moist all the time, removing the need to carry water cans up ladders and, because it is a gentle drip feed into the compost also avoids over watering with a hose and lance. sometimes causing damage to the more delicate plants. At this time of year our baskets look one mass of colour and are frequently admired- thanks to Irrigatia.

Very good for greenhouse watering while away on holiday. Straightforward to fit and use. I've only had it for a few weeks so I don't know how how long it will last - for many years I hope.

Facil de usar, conectar tubos. encender y listo. Cumple con su cometido automaticamente. Viene con las pilas recargables. Las pilas se recargan solas con la luz del sol. Tiene 5 posiciones de riego. Te vale para 12 macetas por el material que viene en la caja, aunque que seguro que se puede montar mas cantidad. Viene con tubo de sobra. Es completamente autonomo salvo que tienes que rellenar el bidon. Lo puse con un bidon de 30 litros y me aguanta una semana a tope de riego con temperaturas de mas de 40º Riega perfectamente cada una de las macetas por goteo. La bomba viene con un filtro y un sensor de agua. Lo recomiendo para los dias de vacaciones porque te olvidas de regar. Lo malo, que le pondria algun conector en T de mas, por decir algo.

Rende automatica l’irrigazione, mantiene sempre le piante con la giusta umidità e consuma pochissima acqua, importante in questo momento di siccità.

Despite the reviews, I ordered this for our raised garden I just built and it's been working great so far! Really wanted to get a solar based irrigation system and with no running water where the raised garden is located, it seemed like there weren't many options. I did run into some questions during the install but when I emailed Irrigatia, they were super fast to respond and help out. A couple of things that tripped me up and might help others here. 1. I had a bad battery in the unit and didn't know until I tested them. The light was blinking per the instructions but the pump would not run. After emails back and forth with Irrigatia, I found that the light will still blink (with regular sequences) even if there's a dead battery in there. 2. The unit comes with two water sensors. One goes above the little water cage and one below. I think the manual just references one water sensor. 3. Speaking of water, I picked up a bucket from Home Depot to keep water in and drilled a hole in the lid to feed the sensor into it. Working great. 3. When I finally got it working, it was loud! Ran for at least 6 hrs on the first run before it settled into its routine. Seemed like it was running on setting #5 at first. I have it set to #3 now and when it runs, it is still loud but it's only running every 3 hrs now. I think that's about it. We might setup another raised garden and I would definitely put one of these in there if we do!

Perfect for containers and my small greenhouse. Easy to set up and keeps everything well watered. This is my second Irrigatia system. Highly recommend.

Meine Partnerin hat entschieden in unserem Ferienhaus Tomaten anzupflanzen ohne sich vorher gross Gedanken um die Bewässerung während unserer Abwesenheit zu machen. Ich überlegte mir dass es vielleicht eine gute Sache sei das Regenwasser vom Dach in einer Regentonne zu sammeln, und machte mich auf die Suche einer Solarbetriebenen Pumpe. Das Produkt Irrigatia scheint eines der wenigen zu sein dass es auf dem Markt und in diesem Sektor überhaupt zu geben scheint. Nach drei Wochen Einsatz kann ich nur Bestnoten vergeben. Die Tomaten gedeihen in der Ferne vorzüglich! Hält genau was es verspricht! Entgegen eines "Vorredners" finde ich die Geräusche während des Pumpens (dies geschieht ca. alle 3 Stunden) mehr als nur moderat. Die fünf Stufen um die Wassemenge zu regeln sind ausreichend. Die Bedinenung ist «Idiotensicher»! Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung von meiner Seite! Schade dass es dieses Produkt nicht in jedem Baumarkt zu kaufen gibt.
