Drip irrigation kit with 8 watering programs, 5 to 50 m hose

What it does

A drip irrigation kit like this waters the row of pots along your wall while you are at work or away for the weekend. You stop coming home to dry soil and hauling a watering can up the steps. The timer runs the schedule on its own, and each red dripper feeds up to 80 L/h right at the plant. It ships direct from China with no brand markup, so you pay for the parts and not the name on the box.

This kit pairs a garden watering timer with a drip line that runs from your outdoor tap. The timer screws onto the tap, directly or through the 2-way Y splitter with a 1/2 in or 3/4 in thread and 16 mm quick-connect outlets. A quick-connector with a 1/4 in barb joins the timer to the black 4 mm inner, 7 mm outer PVC hose. The hose runs along your row of pots, with tees and elbows branching off it. Each branch ends in a red adjustable dripper held by an 11 cm stake, and an end cap plugs the far end of the main line.

You set the clock, start time, duration (1 second to 599 minutes) and frequency (1 to 30 days) on the timer's buttons, for up to 8 programs, or press MANUAL to water outside the schedule. At the programmed time, water flows down the hose and out of the 360 degree adjustable drippers at the plants, from OFF up to 80 L/h. The rain sensor can be on or off; when it is on, the timer skips watering in rain. The timer is powered by 2 AA batteries in its rear compartment.

It suits a patio, balcony, greenhouse row or raised bed with an outdoor tap close by and plants that need watering on a schedule while you are out. It does not connect to a phone or an app and does not run wirelessly, so if you want to control watering from your phone this is not the device. The drippers feed off the hose, so they cannot be fitted straight onto the tap or the timer. The far end of the main line needs its end cap, so the line runs as a closed system with the drippers doing the watering.

• Your pots get watered while you are outThis garden drip irrigation kit runs up to 8 programs on its digital timer. You set the clock, start time, duration from 1 second to 599 minutes and frequency from 1 to 30 days. Water reaches the plants at the time you chose, so the pots have already had their drink when you get home.
• It skips the schedule when rain does the jobA rain sensor sits on the timer and you switch it on or off. When it is on, the timer skips the programmed watering while it rains. The soil does not get watered twice, and you do not use tap water for something the weather has handled.
• Each plant gets the amount it needsThe red drippers turn 360 degrees, so you can set each one from OFF up to 80 L/h. A thirsty tomato pot can take more than a small herb pot. Every dripper is held by an 11 cm stake pushed into the soil, so the water lands at the roots instead of on the path.
• It uses the outdoor tap you already haveThe timer screws onto an outdoor tap, directly or through the 2-way Y splitter with a 1/2 in or 3/4 in thread and 16 mm quick-connect outlets, so the tap stays free for other jobs. Kits come with 5 to 50 m of black 4 mm inner, 7 mm outer PVC hose, with tees and elbows branching the line along the row.
• No power cable running outsideThe timer runs on 2 AA batteries in its rear compartment. There is no mains cable to thread through a window and no solar panel to place in the sun. The batteries are not included.
