Micro Drip Irrigation Kit

Very good irrigation kit. Had most of the parts I needed to set up automatic watering on my rare fig tree collection. Was very easy to set up once I decided on the layout, and it works very well. No leaks. It is very flexible and connected to other irrigation kits with no issues at all. Very adjustable to fit your application and plenty of hose and connectors.

After installing a name brand drip system, I decided to run another one for another bed, but I needed more supplies. Since I had a lot of parts leftover, I just ordered the least expensive kit I could find on Amazon (this one). After installing it, I think it was a pretty good deal, but with some caveats. First, the tubing is very soft. This makes it easier to install, but it crushes much easier than the more rigid tubing in my name brand kit. Since I ran it along a sidewalk, I fully expect to have more problems than the name brand tubing would have. It probably won't last as long, either. Oh, and I'm sure this explains some of the complaints about poor flow. I used metal lawn staples to hold the tubing down, because the plastic tie downs come loose so easily, and I had to be careful or the lawn staplers would cut off the water flow. The spray and mist nozzles are nice, but I find it odd that the kit doesn't come with drip nozzles. Especially when it doesn't come with any right angle connectors, either, so you can point the spray/mist nozzles up where you want them. Lucky for me, I had plenty of leftover parts to make it work, but while this kit has an impressive amount of hardware, it does not have some key pieces that are common and needed, imo. It seems more intended to hang from above, so keep that in mind. Finally, it doesn't come with a backflow preventer, which may make it illegal to use some places. I doubt that many people will care, but big brand kits include one for good reason. Overall, I think it's a nice addition to a previously purchased kit for the extra supplies, but it lacks some important parts that some will need to make it work well.

Very easy to use, the snap-in made a huge difference in instalation time. For my application I would have loved to have more red/dripping heads. Easy on ladies fingers.

I bought two sets of these, I already have a couple of sets from other brands these are more what I expected to get just plain old plastic fitting because as you know metal and water creates rust “no worries” here. What I would recommend is a little heat gun, reason being the tube is very hard of not impossible to fit to the fittings lucky I bought from this company on here for a different job: “FloweryOcean heat gun” 😉 little bit of 5 second heat slips together like a glove. So value for money * Packaged well * Tons of parts * Quality of product * Delivered on time * So that’s five.

Every few days the hoses break lose from the connectors or emitters. This is particularly annoying because the whole point of me buying this system was to water my plants when I wasn't home. Now my plants are watered for a day or two, and then I come home to unwatered plants and a lose hose shooting water 20 feet across the yard. There are some other critical reviews that refer to this problem, but I thought that the loose hose would manifest itself as a small leak and some overwatering (not a big deal) rather than a disconnected hose and unwatered plants (a very big deal). You had one job to do... On one hand, the hose does feel pretty tight, and it's not easy to get onto the barbs of the connectors. On the other hand, this has happened multiple times in the past week. Maybe it's related to the warm temperatures here? I have noticed that the hose is significantly thinner and flimsier than hose I touched at Home Depot. I'd return this but I've already opened everything up, thrown away packaging, and cut up the hose.

We have two 4x8 raise bed gardens and I tried hooking the hose adapter up to the 1/4" tubing provided. I found that I didn't have enough throughput to put 9 nozzles in series with the one tube, so only a trickle came out of the nozzles. I ended up going to Home Depot to get a 1/2" tube with hose adapter to run as my 'main', and then tapped off with the 1/4" where I wanted nozzles. With that simple adjustment the system works great. I bought an Orbit b-hyve smart hose timer that I can set a schedule and manually water remotely. With that in place the system works great and I no longer have to worry about watering my vegetables.

I bought this "Flantor Drip Irrigation Kit, Garden Irrigation System 1/4" Blank Distribution Tubing Watering Drip Kit/DIY Saving Water Automatic Watering System for Garden, Greenhouse, Flower Bed, Patio, Lawn", for my wife's potted plants while we are on vacation. The assembly of the pieces were easy and hard. When connecting the tubing to the "3-way Barb Coupling", it was rather hard. To get around this I put the coupling in the freezer and the tubing in some hot water. I recommend wearing gloves when putting the tubing on the barbs. However, putting the "dripper nozzle" onto a pigtail of tubing from the "3-way Barb Coupling" was real easy. So easy in fact the nozzle popped off when the tubing had been in the direct sunlight for a while. To get around this problem, I put a small tie-wrap around the nozzle barb (tie wrap NOT part of the kit). Also, I did not like the advertised nozzle configuration where the water sprinkled up and down. So I made a new fitting where the nozzle was pointing up using two 1" tubing, a "3-way Barb Coupling" and an endcap fitting (all part of the kit) - see pix. This way the water sprinkles out thus distributing water around the pot, not just in one place. I also noticed the "2-way 3/4" faucet connector" seem to leak a little. I think the barbs on this connector are ever so slightly too small. With the water on, I could move the tubing and water would squirt out. To mitigate this (but not fix), I applied a small tie wrap to those hoses also (see pix). We go on vacation soon. This will tell if this network of hoses will survive on its own for a week. Hope this helps.

Really good quality and easy to install. Make life easier

It’s fairly straight forward to set up, with multiple hose fittings to connect to your outlet. Only issue is that plants near the hose have much more line pressure than those further away the line. If you want equal volume of water for each outlet, you need to adjust the dial at each outlet. The problem is that for my setup, my further plants have the dial loosened all the way, and my closest have it tightened all the way, and can be a bit tricky to set up. What might be easier is variable thickness pipes to make it a bit easier so you still have adjustability. Definitely not a major issue, but does take more time to calibrate if this is a concern.

muy buen producto y facil de instalar

Lots of bits. More than I needed but good price.
