Solar Automatic Drip Irrigation Kit System, JIYANG Solar Powered Auto Easy DIY Watering Device Supported Pots Plants, 6 Timing Modes with Anti-Siphoning Device (Supported 10 Pots, 6Timing Modes)

I bought 2 of these. I bought one a year ago and loved it so much I had to get more. I set up the new one when weather got better since I bought it when it was still too cold out. Turns out after a couple of pumps the solar panel unit went out. I interchanged parts and trouble shoot everything to figue out what was exactly wrong. The amazon return window went out so I visited the company website to see if I could contact someone about a replacement part. They responded to my email within 24 hrs. I am still pending the replacement part, but I will update again once received. So far great experience even though one of my systems were broken

Year 2 update: Working great. Left on vacation for a couple of weeks. I live on a property with a lot of mature trees. Direct sunlight to the solar panel is about 4-5 hours daily. If it's sunny. According to weatherunderground.com, we had about 25% clouds, which DID include some rain. Because the predicted weather was no rain, I chose twice a day watering before I left. The unit was verifiably pumping water (after 2 weeks away) when I got home. I'm very satisfied.Last year's review -- This system does exactly what it says it will. It's very reasonably priced. So I give it 5 stars. I do wish it had some additional features, though. So far, it's been working fine for 5 days. See pics for setup.Simple system -- Solar-powered pump plus water distribution lines & fittings. Nice. Quite easy to set up but the directions are not very clear – a translation thing, I think -- and the print size is microscopic (hey I'm a senior citizen; have mercy). But if you understand the overall concept, you'll be fine. I see a few reviews that complain about draining the reservoir, but this shouldn't happen if the water supply reservoir is BELOW the pump and plants, which the directions DO specify (otherwise the water will just siphon out from the reservoir into the plants).I'd like to be able to tell how much charge the battery has at any given time -- so I can experiment with different charging locations. Does it need bright sunlight? Will it charge adequately -- or at all -- on a cloudy day? (Currently under evaluation) Year 2 update -- works fine in my partial sun situation - see above.I wish this system had more variable times and amount deliveries. But the features are 5, 15 or 20 minutes either once a day or twice a day (5 minutes once a day is MORE than enough for my situation). The directions say that the pump delivers about 400 ml/minute, which THE DIRECTIONS also equate to 8 ounces (I'm assuming this is US fluid ounces but Imperial isn't that much different). Well, my conversion tells me 400 ml = 13.5 US fluid ounces (NOT 8 ounces). OK -- so this means if it runs for 5 minutes, it should deliver 2 liters or 68 US fluid ounces -- which I verified as reasonably accurate by collecting the total output a couple of times in a kitchen measuring cup. So then this total amount will be divided by the number of plants that you have -- and each plant gets roughly the same amount of water. It's difficult to get less water into a single plant unless you add more plants -- but you can multiply the amount to a single plant by running several drip lines into it.I wish it would allow me to disable the beeping function when the reservoir is empty. (Year 2 update - It beeps after it shuts off, but doesn't continue. Verdict - satisfactory)Lastly -- make sure you're ready for water OVERFLOW because it waters each plant on your chosen schedule whether it rains or not. I don't think I'd ever try this inside and risk flooding by over-watering unless I had my plants set to drain over a tank that was as big as my water supply. Even for outside, I put my smaller two plants on a tray that drains to the ground (through some wider tubing than what is supplied with this system). Otherwise, any water overage would either spill onto the deck or keep the plants sitting in water (not good for my plants, anyway).

This is almost perfect. The instructions were simple enough that even when i skimmed through i only made one mistake in the set up. For my situation there was plenty of excess cord and tubing left over. The only reason im taking a star off is because i believe this is pulling more water than advertised. I have the system connected to a 7 gallon water jug and the setting set to 5 minutes every 24 hours. this should mean i have 13 days of water per fill. Where i seem to be getting closer to 4 days per fill, and yeah some could be evaporation as well. Overall it seems like a good system that i plan to buy more of when i expand my garden system.

Got it a year ago, only confusion was the included directions did not include information regarding the water level probe and how it functioned. Once that was researched and corrected it has worked fantastic for keeping my edible plants in grow bags well watered even with the hot florida sun drying all the soil around it. I have it with a vevor 100 gallon tank.

Extremely happy with this lil gem!!!Will be buying extension for it because we are so happy with it!Keeping it level made it work without effortDid not go through 5 gallonbucket on 10 spikesWhich is awesome set timer for every 12 hours!!!

Great for the Container Gardener!I have a very small backyard in the city, and I purchased this to water my plants while on vacation.Pros: Directions are easy to follow. Easy assembly. Watered VERY well. Very easy to program when and how often to water.Cons: This isn't really a con, but you, of course, need to keep the water reservoir filled on a daily basis. My backyard is full sun from 10am to 3pm in the summer time, so the water evaporates quickly. I used a large storage tub as my reservoir because I had 10 pots (herbs, peppers, and tomatoes) on this particular watering system.I think this would be fabulous for the patio, balcony, or indoor plants. You just have to keep the reservoir filled.

While it worked it did a great job. The solar part didn't last as long as it I think it should. We haven't gotten through our first garden season with them and both of the solar parts died. It's sad cause we liked how well they worked when they did work

3.5 starsGrabbed this kit to add onto my existing system. The hose was very stiff and difficult to work with when it came to attaching the pieces. It took a lot of effort to get the drippers and t-connections into the hose. Other than that the dripper spouts seem to work well and I've had no issues with the hose function beyond setup.
