Garden Irrigation System, 132ft/40m 16300PCS Micro Drip Irrigation Kit (3000pcs Adjustable Nozzle), Drip Irrigation with 1/4" Blank Distribution Tubing for Greenhouse Lawn Flower Bed Patio--100set

I have set these up as a stop gap while we wait for our tree drip system to be installed at the end of the summer and thus far they work great, I especially like the fan style stake sprinklers and plan to order more. My only complaint is that the adapter doesn't fit my heavy duty hoses, only my medium and light duty for some reason, they don't tighten up the same and leak terribly with my heavy duty hoses. Also our water pressure is a little to high for these and it takes some fine tuning to keep the connections from blowing apart. Lastly at one point a piece of rubber from the tubing clogged up one of the tee's, but it was an easy fix tracking down and unclogging the plug, can't complain for what it is.

This set is great for getting drip irrigation setup going for your garden or patio plants. The set uses all 1/4" hose so by the end of the line the pressure is pretty low, but this is to be expected. The irrigation system was very easy to setup and the included fittings and adapters are very nice. I was able to get my whole herb garden, two strawberry towers and several potted plants connected to the system to get water to all my plants. I still have several left over fittings and tubing that will allow me to expand the system. One thing to keep in mind is that drip irrigation systems are not designed to operate at high pressures that are typical of residential water supplies. You can purchase a simple pressure regulator designed for drip irrigation systems that will reduce the pressure to 25psi. This will reduce and nearly eliminate leaks where the hoses connect to the different fittings.

I should have done this last year, better late than never i guess. Its easy to install/setup way more than enough nick nacks to set up your backyard. I currently have 8 misters going and theres enough pressure for all of them. Only thing I wished was that the mist was finer, its pretty thick. I might just look into some finer ones elsewhere but for the time being this set up and for the price is pretty awesome! Update: i actually like the thick mist now it's grown on me. I specifically set this little system up to keep my dogs cool during summer and the thick mist wets the cement just enough to wet it and cool it but not to make huge puddles so i end up not needing it on for too long and waste too much water. Quick 10minute timer every hour or so keeps my dogs very comfortable during the peak hours of heat.

This is a good introduction to the drip-irrigation you have heard about, a huge step up from the "spray a ton of water with a large hose" style, or the "use one-size automated sprinklers for all-and-sundry" style. A long tube goes from the faucet to your garden bed, which then can be branched off into smaller side-segments which culminate in small sprinkle-heads of 3 different types. It did not take long to install (with a few caveats listed below) - the pipe is flexible enough, and the connectors are easy enough to manipulate by hand without tools. I did not have to heat anything up because I live in south Florida and leaving the package in the backyard porch (covered) did the trick. But while the design of this is easy and simple, the implementation/production stumbles for quality-control. The 3/4" faucet-connector leaked profusely, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I ended up driving up to a big-box-store and buying a similar dual-outlet connector. But then I found that the threading on the next piece (the 1/2" + 3/4" threaded faucet connector) is ever-so-slightly different, that it never fit the store-bought-connector. Another trip to get another, expensive, version in metal. This time too the threads were difficult but I could apply some force and jam it in. I hope to not open that again. But while I could fix the connection problem, and get all the water going - a beautiful sight, I give you that - I found another fatal flaw in the design - the entire length of tubing provided is 1/4" thick. I wish they could have given half of it in 1/2" thickness, because the 1/4 is too thin to carry water for all outlets. The first few outlets get all the water, and the others stay dry. I have been having to wait 5-10 minutes, then close-off the leading drippers to allow the trailing ones to get their share of water. If the supply line 'trunk' was thicker, there's a chance the 'branches' would not draw all the water and all a more even flow. That's my theory - for now I am contemplating buying a roll of 1/2" tubing and replacing my main supply line, hoping it works. Fingers crossed. I will update here on the results. So, bottomline - this will not work like magic, but because of the low cost, I would not call it unusable. It just takes some work.

Product worked like it should. I paired it with a WiFi Howe controller and my garden is growing very well. I did have some trouble with one hose staying on at a junction but was able to hold it with a twist tie. Overall satisfied with the product

I ordered this DIY kit to water azaleas and flowers. I was excited about the length (138 ft) because it would take care of most of my plantings. I used half the hose with 7 of the watering 'heads' and by the 4th one, there is not enough pressure to make it work correctly. the pressure from the hose bib is fine. am not sure what is happening along the length, but I will not be able to use all the hose length. secondly, the water sprinkler attachments are so hard to put on the plastic fittings. If you have any arthritis in your hands, or lack strength in your hands, you will not be able to attach the hose to the fittings. Thirdly, the installation pictures show the sprinkler attachments able to hook directly to the plastic fittings. That is not the case. I had to cut a short hose length to hook from the plastic fitting to the sprinkler head. and last, there are spikes that are supposed to hold the hose stationary. those spikes are so cheaply made, that any kind of movement of the hose loosens it from the spike - plus the spike is only 4 inches long - that's hardly enough to go through the mulch layer and make it to soil. very disappointed, but don't feel like taking it all up to return it. it works for a very short distance if you have the patience to install it.

It is awesome! Installing it was tedious and made my fingers sore, but it is so custom to where and what I need it for that it's totally worth the effort to install it. I'd have liked a little more instruction on which nozzels I should have used for which type of planter and how long and how often to turn it on, but there was plenty of options and most importantly, plenty of hose. (I found that more water less frequently will grow stronger roots. I'm set up for an hour once or twice a week. )

I have been using these for a while now and I really like these once they are installed properly, however I wouldn't but these again because putting them together was a painful experience. Every mist spray head needs to be connected to the plastic tube it provides and pushing tube onto the spray head is very challenging. I understand that it is a trade off, harder to push better connected it will be. Its just that I would search for some other kind of connector type so I wouldn't have to go through the process again. But in the end I did assemble everything I need and it has since been working great for me.
