sPlant Drip Irrigaition Kits for 1/4" Tubing 32ft, Silicone Hose Drip Irrigation Accessories Compatible Automatic Drip Kit or Watering System Fittings Kit Pack

Bottom line, this pump works (I go the upgraded high power version, in use for 2 weeks now)... but some things you should know (read the important point *below*).My goal is to have this pump water my outdoor carnivorous plants (I choose to use distilled water), and I want the pump to run 1 time a day sometime when the sun is set, for as long as it needs to for the plants to have enough water flushed through the pot and in the water tray.If you get this pump, you'll need to play with it until you can set it and forget it. Here's what I've found setting it up:- The ' T ' and ' + ' splitters that are used to split the tube will fit tightly into the tube. I guess it's good that it's tight so water doesn't leak out, but be prepared to put some effort into fitting the splitters on.- The tube and the splitters aren't very heavy, so they don't sink to the bottom of the water jugs as I was hoping they would. Might want to look at finding a way to "weigh" the tube down.The not-really-amazing timing system of this pump:I think they got the message: this thing requires some extra instructions for setting it up. Instructions and youtube videos are clear *enough* where I was able to figure out the time system. Included instructions are decent.Here's what they DON'T tell you:- After you are done configuring the pump (how frequent and how long, aka the left and right screens), you need to click the manual button in the middle. Once you push this button, the pump runs *and ALSO* the timer begins. For example, let's say it's 8:00am and you configure the pump for a frequency of 1 day (left box) and a duration of 5 min (right box), after doing this, push the middle (manual) button and pump begins to run for 5 min. NOW... tomorrow at (about) 8:00am the pump will run again for 5 minutes.--- TLDR: Manually run the pump *at the time* you want the pump to run at its frequency. You want 8am each day? Then manually run it at 8am for the first time.- THIS IS IMPORTANT. This pump cannot store clock info / cannot tell time that I'm aware, and the frequency timer is not very accurate. If you set it to 1 day, it will run about every 25 hours (not 24 like how one would expect). While this pump WILL get the job done, the timer is the biggest negative.- DO THIS: play with that left box (the frequency box, aka: 1 day, every 12 hours, etc) until you're happy. I ended up changing my pump from 1 day > 23 hours. After doing this, I can now say the pump runs every 23 hrs and 51 minutes! Just a few fries short of a happy meal, but it's close enough where I'm fine.PERHAPS UNIMPORTANT INFO- I'm not using batteries, only USB power (standard apple charger, 5v 1a)... now that I think of it, I probably should put in 4x lithium AA batteries just to keep that precious delicate timer mostly accurate incase the power goes out... Yes it does remember it's configuration even when the power goes out, but that doesn't mean the timer won't be way way off than how it already is!!The picture I took...- I put the pump is in it's own plastic bin in a cabinet (I drilled holes in the plastic bin for the water lines and power). I chose to write "IN" and "OUT" on the pump itself, but the pump has them labeled anyways. It makes me feel better; don't judge.- I have 2x 2.5 Gallon distilled water containers. The pump is sitting higher than the jugs, but the 6 plants are about 1 foot above the pump, each plant with a dropper thingy. I don't have issues with siphoning. Water output/performance is good.

The hardest and most time-consuming part is connecting all the water lines together. I found what works best for the t-joints is to hold the end of a tube under the hot water tap for ten seconds and then very quickly jam it on the connector. I tried to pull one off after and can assure it is very tight.For arrangement I made a simple daisy-chain starting from the farthest plant and adding one link at a time. Most links were much shorter than I imagined so I’m glad I didn’t try and wing it all at once. It is important the whole arrangement is not very long (maybe six feet?) since the pump is really weak. Water is more or less even though the one closest to the pump definitely gets more water than the end. I put my cooking basil there and it is doing well.Device itself is bulky and light. Since this model does not come with any container attachment device (hook, clip, whatever) as most do, this makes it a tricky situation to keep it close and above a container of water without the obvious. My cats have knocked it down several times already.My solution was to attach it to the lid of a gallon pitcher and feed the water intake line and filter through the spout. Has the added bonus of limiting evaporation.Batteries are definitely viable. I’m using usb power but since it runs for 15 seconds once a day I can see batteries lasting a long time. It is pretty noisy but I find it is the only way I know it’s working. 15 seconds goes pretty quickly.

It doesn't that well but it works well enough. I used almost all of the provided tubing and definitely not all of the watering spikes and T joints.The maximum watering time is 30 min and my planters are moderately sized and they need a lot of water so I have to do two cycles but I wish they'd have more than 30 min cycles.This seems like a good daily watering supplement but it's not a good deep root watering system. If you're looking for totally hands off never worry about watering, this might not be your best bet.

We used it once, when we returned from the weekend the pump stream was a mere trickle. We checked and it isn't plugged anywhere. We confirmed that it worked before we left. This pump is not worth the money.
