DIAFIELD Automatic Drip Irrigation Kit, Self Watering System for 15 Potted Plants Indoor, Drip Irrigation System for Garden with Water Timer and LCD Display, Power by AC Plug & No Battery Backup

At first, I was a bit anxious because it didn’t perform as expected. All I could hear was the machine humming away, but no water was flowing, and I even submitted a replacement request! But guess what? After giving it a few tries, it finally kicked into gear! The machine started pumping water, and before I knew it, my plants were getting the hydration they needed with those delightful little drips!I am absolutely thrilled with this product! It was a game-changer when I had to step away for a whole month. The timing feature is simply brilliant! I set it to water every 12 hours for just 15 seconds, which is plenty for my indoor plants. I’m so happy to report that they’re thriving and healthy to this day! Huge thanks to the automatic drip system for keeping my plants vibrant while I was away! 🌱✨

This is the answer when leaving on trips and not needing someone to water your indoor plants. This is amazing! It arrived just before our two week trip. It was easy to set up. I placed a 5 gallon bucket under the plants before leaving and when we returned it was still almost half full.When we came back our plants were happy. Thank you for this.

We were gone for almost 3 weeks. Of course, I watered my plants well right before leaving. I had this set to water once a week, because that is mostly how often I water my plants when I am at home. I set it to water for 25 seconds, even though that sounded long to me. Three of my 14 plants were dead when we got home. I tested the watering system and it was working, but the 2-3 plants at the end of the line weren't getting very much water. One of the plants didn't mind, and was fine, but two of them (both English ivy), had lots of dead leaves. My beautiful Diffenbachia was at least 3/4 dead. It was in the middle of the water line, so I don't know what went wrong there.

I bought one of these pumps about a month ago but did not manage to actually open the box until yesterday. I assembled the whole system yesterday and programmed it for 12 small pots. Everything seemed fine and I liked the fact that, unlike many other similar systems that allow programming of watering duration only in multiples of minutes, I can program the watering duration with this device in multiples of second increments. This is nice for very small pots. All well so far. The product description and the manual is quite vague and misleading when it comes to its power supply. The device needs and AC connection and has no battery, but the description and the manual suggest that the programming is somehow saved in case of power failure. To simulate a power failure, I unplugged the device and plugged it back again after a while. Initially it seemed that all my programmed settings were lost. But after I switched between manual and auto modes, my settings (programming and clock setting) returned; so, the device did somehow remember my settings (at least for the short duration of being unplugged). Nevertheless, it required me to physically diddle with the knob to get my settings back. If there is a power failure while I'm away, there is no one around to diddle with the knob to reset my programming or the clock setting, and I am not sure how long of a power outage it would take before the device's memory is wiped out completely. I want a pump that works reliably when I am away, even if there is a power failure. For me this product is useless. Unfortunately, I have cut the tubing and cannot return it any more. I wish I had read the negative customer reviews before I bought this product; oh well, I paid a price to learn a lesson!

Great for watering hard-to-reach plants. Just fill whatever you've designated as a tank and you're good to go.

I am growing indoors in a grow tent. I have 8 strawberry plants in airpots, and 4 basil plants in regular pots. They are very thirsty, and watering manually every day was getting tiresome. I bought a wireless soil moisture sensor to keep an eye on things, and it was clear that I wasn't doing a good job. So, I bought this thing. Install was easy. The hardest part was figuring out the best way to use the splitters to get somewhat even flow to each plant.The tubing is gray, so should prevent the growth of algae in the tubes because light presumably cannot get in. The timer is dumb, because when I make a change to it, it won't run until the next start time. For example, if I have the start time set to 5am and to water every hour for 10 seconds, and I change it to 12 seconds in the afternoon... it won't run again until 5am. This is an annoyance.The instructions say not to run fertilizer through it. Well, not sure why that is so I'm running a weak hydroponic solution through it along with a soil wetting agent, and things are fine. While my strawberries were getting the right amount of water, my basil was getting too much. I just bought a bag of cheap aquarium valves and put them after the splitter that went to the basil and cracked it open about half. This fixed the problem. Frankly, this kit should come with some of those valves so you can adjust the flow per plant.Despite my complaints, I just ordered another as I'm putting some more plants in which have different watering and fertilizer requirements, and I need to have a separate reservoir for that.Edit: Removed a star. When the power goes out, the schedule is wiped and it does not resume watering. I'm glad I figured this out before taking some trips. So, to alleviate this problem, I have a spare AGM battery here because I accidentally ordered too many, and I'm putting it on a trickle charger. Then, I'm making some cables to plug the watering things into the battery instead of the power block that came with them.Edit 2: the stakes, while they work initially, eventually get filled by roots and clog. I lost a couple of plants to this. I ended up buying a 50 pack of stakes with the emitter on top of them so they work like a mini sprinkler. Roots won't clog these and they work better. The battery backup system is working awesome though. It will run for days without line power, and doesn't lose it's schedule anymore. While these work, I am annoyed about the scheduling stuff as mentioned above and that if I change anything relating to the schedule, the unit effectively stops watering until the next start time (currently 5am). So if I change something in the afternoon, it's done watering until 5am the next day. I'm probably just going to build one with a raspberry pi and some pumps.
