RAINPOINT Automatic Watering System, Water Volume Adjustable, Indoor Self Watering System for Potted Plants, DIY Drip Irrigation Kit for Garden Holiday Plants Watering

Really great piece of equipment - I was away for 3 weeks during a very hot period in the UK and this kept all my plants watered and alive. I tested it beforehad to see for long I should leave it on to deliver an adequate amount of water, pulgged it in, set the timer and it all worked great. When we returned from holiday, the temperature inside the apartament was 37C! So the watering system did amazingly! There wasn't any leakage, all plants looked healthy (some yellow leaves here and there but it was due to direct sun). It is easy to use but a bit fiddly - however that is to be expected, I'd say you have to give it around an hour to set up properly.

I have been using this for a while now and it's working perfectly! I use it to water my 8 foot tall moss pole to keep the moss within moist and support root growth. Its working perfectly and all I need to do it top up the reservoir once a month. Saved hours of time. Make sure you really push the connectors in and use hot water to loosen before hand to avoid leaks. The machine itself is easy to programme. Plant is looking very happy and so am I!

It is easy to install just make sure you have a good think about the route to take and position of the plants before starting to cut the pipe. The joints pushed together easily without the need to soften or oil them. There were no leaks. I had to weight the filter down as it tends to float but that's not the end of the world. To determine the watering duration and regularity some trial and error is required ,that is only to be expected as plants differ in their needs. Altogether it does what it says on the box.

Works a treat. We’ve just been on holiday for 10 days - there has been no rain whatsoever in that time. On our return was delighted to find our baskets and containers thriving with plenty of moisture in the soil. We left it to water baskets twice a day for three minutes at a time, operating out of a 25l Jerry can and still plenty of water in the can upon our return. I wouldn’t hesitate. A fab bit of kit.

Completely madness to set up. Leaks at every joint - switch valves, connectors, and drippers all leak, even following the instructions exactly (hot water on tubing, all connections checked). Only the main timer unit doesn’t leak. Had to remove the micro-drippers entirely so the water can reach my plant before leak out. The timer works but it’s a terrible setup design. it runs a watering cycle automatically while you’re still configuring it, soaking your plants the whole time. Pump is far weaker than claimed - manual says 2.5m lift, but raising a tube just 1–2cm can stop a line delivering water entirely. A silently failed line could kill a plant while away 😅😅 Well it took me 4 hours to set up (I’m very used to home diy stuffs.) Would not use this if I had any other choice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

I love my Rainpoint watering system. This is, in fact, the third set I buy, not because they stopped working, but because I'm very happy with how it works (and I keep getting more plants)! So all my plants will now be self-watered whilst I am away. No more having to ask favours from any friends! I bought my first set as a trial before going on a one week holiday, earlier this year, and it worked to perfection. In fact, I have left it permanently installed with my most delicate plants (orchids, etc.) , which I have put all together in one area. So last month I bought a second set, and just now a third one (which I am currently setting up) to be able to water all my plants, as I prepare for a longer holiday. I haven't put these last two to use yet, but I am confident they'll keep all my plants alive and healthy while I'm away (seeing how well the first set is working!). After building three watering systems, I can say that the absolute key to setting up all the tubes/valves/heads is leaving the tip of the tubes in very hot water for a couple of seconds (I have the kettle by my side when doing this), so the tips become malleable/soft and can be inserted more easily in the valves/heads. This also allows for the tube to be inserted to the very top of each piece (where it's meant to be), avoiding leaks afterwards. Once the system is built with the many heads I need, then I make several tests with glasses, adjusting the quantity of water delivered by each head, to ensure each plant will get the exact amount of water to thrive. The irrigation timing is very easy to set up following the instructions too. It's really very user friendly. So, I totally recommend this Rainpoint watering set. I bought all mine at three different times when they were on offer, but even at its normal price I think it's definitely very good value for money, because it works well and keeps your plants alive when you're away. So one less thing to be worried about!

We have just set up for our plants at home... It was fiddly to connect all the bits but instructions were clear. However despite ensuring all tubing was pushed all the way in on every connection (which was hard and fiddly) we still had leaks from the connectors. Had to solve problem with extra tape. Also leaks from the valves. It does not seem to operate properly unless batteries are fitted. So not very impressed with the final product.

Stopped working after 18 months but worked really well up to that point.

The Rainpoint Automatic watering device is one nice product! It is extremely easy to use and setup. The large printed instructions are easy to follow. they clearly show how to set it up with pictures showing proper pump placement so that you avoid the dreaded " siphoning effect " preventing a very wet floor. I tested my system with a gallon jug in the beginning then switched to a larger reservoir for the final setup once I was satisfied. The Rainpoint Drip works perfectly. No mess whatsoever. The Rainpoint uses low voltage USB power with a battery backup system, although the drip system will operate on the four AA batteries, I chose to use the Rainpoint USB and battery backup. It is so nice not to have to manually water everyday. Basically I check the system a couple of times a week, add water to the reservoir when needed. I totally agree with the Rainpoint instructions, be sure to check the batteries once monthly, remove the batteries from this device if it's going to be stored. Also; the battery box lid slides back a 1/4" then lifts straight up. The best part is the watering schedule can be programmed for multiple times daily, multiple days, and weekly. We grow indoor vegetables and herbs year round, watering has always been a issue when we travel. Not anymore, the RAINPOINT Drip Irrigation Kit does a wonderful job for us! The Rainpoint kit has everything that you will ever need to set the system up and water multiple plants Guaranteed!! The Rainpoint warranty is 180 days unconditional, followed by five years of after sales service even if the original return window has passed! The RAINPOINT company provides all contact information to reach them, watch videos, pretty much anywhere in the world with every order. Wow! Who does that anymore?

I have two plants up above my bed that I tend to forget watering, so when I found this I knew I had to have it. I could have sworn that when I ordered this the listing said that it had wifi controls, but a few months later it doesn't anymore. Rainpoint does sell watering kits with wifi controllers, but this one was not wifi controlled. That doesn't matter too much, since it's really not necessary once you get it on a timer. You set the frequency of the watering- I have it set to every 24 hours. You set how long you want the water pump to run every watering, which I have set to 20 seconds, but you can set that number higher if you want to. From there, you use the included water line and anchors to wire up the feedline you want for however many plants you want, although I just set it up for two plants. It comes with tons of anchors and lots of water line, which is why you might want to have the pump running length higher than 20 seconds. Once that's set up, get a reservoir and run your intake line into the reservoir. Keep the reservoir topped up, and you're good to go! I've been using mine for the last 3 months now, and every night it runs and I don't have to think about it. I've had no issues with leaks or pump failure, and I'm happy with this one.

I've had several of these type pumps - like most electronics there are lots of identical and similar products. Even this seller is confused, as the pump I received came in a box marked "Wi-Fi timer" and had other references to wifi on it. It isn't. Also the same pump is listed on another page. Here's a few things to know about this model 1K10P, which available from Rainpoint elsewhere: The pump is above average. I tested it's 'head' at 9 feet and it still put out a decent flow. This set has plenty of connectors and hose. But it only comes with root drippers. If you want adjustable drippers, you'll have to supplement. The timer is limited to 0-59 seconds, then whole minutes. You can't do 90 seconds, or 2 minutes 30 seconds, etc. If you do want to have a water source even or higher than the pump, simply run 1 dripper back to the reservoir (before the check valve, if you use it. ) That way air gets back in the line when the pump turns off, preventing the siphon. Regardless of what timer you get, plan for the worst. My first one (Not this brand) got stuck in the on position. If I hadn't been there, it would have flooded my house.

This thing is really cool. You can set a schedule to run for so many minutes every so many hours or days. USB powered with AA battery backup (I wouldn't run on just batteries). The watering is consistant. There is a metering channel in each of the dripper stakes. There is no adjustment however the channel could possibly be cut to allow more flow for bigger pots. I have not experimented with this yet. There is a lot more tubing and fittings than I was expecting. Install was quick and easy. Instructions are OK. I added some ball bearings to the pickup filter housing to keep it weighed down in the bucket. I would recommend doing this, a rock or something would work great too. The bottom pops right off. Initially I set it for a 20 min cycle and kept track of runtime. Once I was happy with the watering how I usually do it, I marked the time. This is my water time and I set it to my normal schedule of every 3 days. If you change the settings after this it does reset the timer and it will run the first watering again. You can cancel this by pushing the ok button and the pump will stop however your schedule will be reset so only do this on watering days if needed.

This irrigation system was easy to install once I was able to wrap my head around the process. The directions give you some instructions, but not a lot. Overall it took me about 1 hour to set this up for 5 plants in a basement greenhouse. One connector had a slight leak after the first test. I tightened the hose and the leak stopped. How often you need to add water to the reservoir depends on the size of your reservoir and watering needs. I currently have mine set for 1 minute every 24 hours and I need to add to a 2-quart pitcher every 4 days. If you want to extend it for a vacation, you would just put the filter/hose in a larger container. I plan to use my moisture probe every few days for 2 weeks in order to determine my plant's true watering needs.
