Amazing solar irrigation for my containers
I bought this solar irrigation system in 2023 and have been using it during the growing season. I just set it up and it still works! Very pleased at how easy it is to irrigate my 20 containers on my patio. The solar is reliable. Once you configure it you can depend on it and it will alarm when the water level is getting low. I don't have outside water supply so this is a small miracle for my plants. I have to lug water to the tote I am using as a vessel but it's so much better for the plants and me than hand watering.

Good basic solution for plant watering -- at a reasonable cost
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).

I love these kits!
These are a game-changer. If you hate dragging out the hose every day to water your vegetables, like i did, these are a game-changer. I use these solar pump systems for my veggies that I grow in felted bags and pots. I have many on grow tables with clear covers, so they don’t get over-watered, but it’s so easy to shut these off, it’s not a big deal. VERY simple to set, and once you get used to setting these up, you’ll be SO happy with them. I have deck rail pots, too, and use these for them. And, if I’m ever lucky enough to get the greenhouse I’ve always wanted, these will be perfect for that, too. I use beer-makers carboys for water storage, and only have to fill them about once every 5 days or so. I water twice a day for 5 minutes. There’s no wasted water, when you are feeding the plant at its stem.Simplify your watering routine. And if you have a heat gun, it makes setting these up even easier.Great, useful kits. I have purchased several.

Great way to repurpose standing water
So far I love this thing. I got it today and set it up. Super easy to do. I put it up into a temporary spot just to test it and I ran it for 3 rounds of 20 minutes today and it is really lowering the water nicely. Context: I get a ton of runoff from my neighbors yard every day and was digging a French drain to handle it. The trench itself isn’t done yet and I still have quite a bit to dig. I also figured having a trench and French drain is a nice way to also have free water for some flowers. (We’ve been battling massive heat plus this runoff hasn’t been kind to the flowers, so hopefully I get it all in place soon and heal the flowers up. Is what I’m doing the best method for this? Who knows but it is what I decided to do on a whim.) We had a big thunderstorm today so the water in the trench was massively more than normal so I threw this in there. We still have a ways to go but I think this will work awesome when I’m all the way done with the work. The outlet is going to end up watering a veggie garden but for now is just draining into the greenbelt behind the house. The first picture is when I first turned it on. Then there’s a photo of after an hour of it running in 20m intervals. The closer shots are before and after the last 20 minute cycle so you can see what one 20 minute cycle does. Update (from 5 to 3 stars): I just hooked this up to water 10 plants and it doesn’t have enough pressure to water that many. It only dribbled out water to the first 4 or 5 and none of the others. If I plugged the first one, another one would start dripping, so I know it wasn’t a clog in the line. I’d had high hopes after it really did a good job with just the straight line, but it really let me down when adding the Ts.

Good for porch plants
I wish I had bought this years ago. My mother has a little porch garden and this has been a life saver for her. Getting up there in age, it has been hard to get enough water to all of her plants, especially on hot days. It takes a bit of time to put together but is well worth it. Now all she or anyone helping her has to do is refill the bucket with water. Her plants look alive, well watered, and she isn't worried about forgetting to water them in this heat.
