Drip Irrigation System 98ft, Fast Connect Automatic Irrigation Kit with 12mm, 6mm Blank Distribution Tubing and Accessories, DIY Garden Watering Equipment for Garden, Greenhouse, Flower Bed, Patio

This item works very well. In my application, I ran the 12mm line to all 12 of my plant pots on the pool deck. A couple of helpful points to others: this system does not hook up to your outside hose spigot which has a 3/4" hose thread (the vendors connector has 3/4" pipe threads) so you need to make or purchase a suitable adaptor, also, the instructions would be better if they told you to mark the cut end of the 12mm tubing 13/16" back from the cut end which when you insert the tube into the TEE provided you push in until the mark meets the green collar insuring full insertion. Likewise for the smaller tube which feeds the sprinkler, mark the tube 1/2" back from the cut end. Doing so, ensures no leaks which the instructions warn you about if you don't insert the tubing fully, but they don't tell you how far fully is. Fully inserting means pushing the tube through the green collar, through the locking ring, through the o-ring until the tube hits the internal stop. If you understand that, then you should be leak free. The last tip, once you are all set up and have the sprinklers in service, do a test. Insert the operating sprinkler head upside down into an empty 1/2 gallon container and time how long it takes to fill. That gives you an idea of how much water you are putting out. As an example, the flowing sprinkler head in the picture filled up a 1/2 gallon container in 90 seconds. Using that information will help you figure out how long to water and set your timer accordingly. Be sure to take your measurements when all the system heads are running and adjusted to each location. The hose comes tightly coiled in the box and you will have an easier time working with the tubing if you uncoil it and lay it out in the sun until the tube stays semi- straight. I used 1/2" single hole plastic wire clamps from Home Depot to attach the 12mm tube run to the screenhouse aluminum framing.

Very nice that this set comes with all you need to set up a little sprinkler assembly. What you want to add is one of those battery operated garden hose timers to automatically water your flower beds and scrubs. The connectors are basically work like the sharkbite slip on connections. The two items I wanted to mention that were less than super perfect are the "Y" connector has a little drip while my sprinklers are on. And the thicker hose is a bit stiff. However its really kink resistant because of that and I like that very much. I was able to set up all my flower beds and pots around the back of my house with one segment going over to my shed and watering a bunch of things there. I used two packs. The best part of this system its the ease of use. Setup was about 2 hours for everything. I thought it will take much longer. Very easy and simple and the heads work great. The little bubbler and sprayer are adjustable. So great to adjust for different water usage of the different plants. Great value and a great alternative to a professional installed sprinkler system that cost a fortune. It can be easily modified and each component can be replaced if needed. I this holds up in the elements its an ideal do it yourself set to get your landscaping what it needs. ?It deem really well designed and I expect it to be usable for quite a while. With a bit of attention I can imagine using it for a few years. Would be nice to have a show with parts where I can additional items. But at this price I would not mind getting another set for extras if needed. Very happy so far. I will update the review in a few months.

I have been using rain Bird drip irrigation in all of my beds. I just didn't need the massive system and all of the gizmos that came with rain Bird and at this price point I decided to try the 96 ft setup. This was far easier to set up than rain Bird. It took me way less time. That being said, there are some limitations. I don't like that I can't purchase additional couplers. Once you are out of the connectors that bring the hose together you can't add anymore. Unfortunately I needed at least four to six more so I'm short. I will end up having to move the drippers from plant to plant on alternating days. I looked in their store and do not see an option to purchase more. For people who complained about leaks, all you have to do is readjust the hose into the connector. Every week I had was solved by reinserting it or wiggling it in a little more firmly. I like the two options for the bubbler and the sprayer. If you wanted a very strong spray going straight up in the air, you could do it with this setup. My dogs thought it was fun to drink out of it as I was setting it up. The water pressure in it is great. I was able to adjust it down to what is the same as a drip or trickle setup in rain Bird. One of the best things about this setup is that the connectors freely spin. So if the hose is going in different directions and your smaller hoses need to go in different directions to plants, the connector freely spins. The rain birds do not. Once you puncture the main hose to put in a drip line, the rainbird system isn't going to move and this often can cause small leaks because it is so inflexible. That being said I have no idea how this system will hold up. I'm on my second year with the rain bird. I pulled them all in for the winter because I live in the Midwest. I label the different garden systems and put them in a giant plastic bag and seal them. I rolled them back out this spring from last winter and they were just fine. Sometimes getting them into the right spot for the right plant is a bit tricky but it's not a big deal. This is where I think this new system will actually outshine the rain bird. Those rotating couplers are fabulous. If I find a way to purchase extra couplers so I can get more water to all of my plants and not have to alternate I will upgrade my review from four stars to five stars. Not being able to add on without purchasing another set is a bit ridiculous.

Easy to assemble. Great product with easy instructions.
