CARPATHEN Drip Irrigation System Kit - Complete Premium Garden Watering System with Adjustable Sprinkler Emitters, 5/16" & 1/4" Tubing and Fittings - Drip Line for Raised Beds, Lawn, Pots, Greenhouse

I'm great with watering flowers until July. Then the heat really kicks in and I become less motivated. This year, I bought this to water my above ground flower beds. My zinnias went from meh to WOW. Suggest getting a timer to complete the setup. You can adjust the heads to deliver water right where you want it. Easy to setup. One suggestion: if you're having trouble putting the tube to the connector, apply heat with a lighter to the tube then it goes on easier. Comes with lots of different parts to customize to your configuration. I set the timer for sunrise-ish for 10 minutes a day.

This irrigation system is wonderful !! I have 10 pots that I have been watering all Summer. I live in Houston TX where the temperatures have been in 3 digits for the past 6 weeks with no end in sight. No rain. I was spending hours daily watering. I finally started researching the drip irrigation systems. I found some that were outrageously expensive. I found this one and the reviews I read, led me to conclude that this was would work for my needs. My husband and I set it up yesterday. I already had and unused timer. It took about 2 hours to set up. The instructions are very clear and there are videos for set up as well. I set it to water for 20 minutes at 5am this am. At 7am, I went out with my moisture gauge. I was pleased to see that my pots were all in a good moisture range, even better than when I was watering with a garden hose. Only one was a little spotty. I turned them on manually for 10 minutes. I adjusted the sprayer heads in that pot and went ahead and checked all of the others. These sprayers are super easy to adjust, just by turning the yellow top. Easy Peasy !!! I am so thrilled with this irrigation that I am going to install another one in by other set of pots. This is very reasonably priced. I had leftover parts enough to use for my remaining 4 pots. I was able to order the 5/12 main tubing separately which is the only item that I needed to complete this project. Many companies do not sell individual components, you have to purchase an additional kit. Cost savings and earth friendly practices. Side note. The kit is packed in cardboard and paper, no plastic. Can be recycled or even watered and added to the soil !! There was also an unexpected personal touch note from Veronica and Adrian, thanking me for purchasing their product and they are in Romania !! It was attached to a set of wooden stakes that you can write on to identify the plant in your garden and write the name on the wood. I very much appreciate this product and encourage you to purchase it if you think it meets your needs. You will not be disappointed.

I can’t say more positive things about this company’s customer service. I order 2 of these systems for raised beds. In each set was a hand written note thanking the customer for supporting their small business. Originally, a single piece was missing from one of the sets I had ordered and to make ammends they shipped me an entire new set, free of charge. I don’t know if that’s typical; but it was certainly a nice gesture. I’ve owned several different irrigation systems in the past and they never seem to make it through more than a single season. I can’t speak to the longevity of the product in the sun; but it with this set installed I’ve already had my dogs try to chew it up, twice. It was simple to set up, easily customizable. Held up nicely to the dogs - no leaks, no failures. When I was finally done setting the system up (for the third time) and got to test it, it worked far-and-away better than any other system I’ve had. Each stem is adjustable to fit your space. I will say that these sprinklers can put out a TON of water if you want. They can spray over a 3’ area, easily. I am so satisfied with these that I bought a 3rd setup just to support the company; even though I currently don’t need it.

Perfect way to irrigate potted plants in this Texas heat. Installation instructions are clear. As a senior and without any experience at this whatsoever, managed this on my own. It was a bit challenging to fit the smaller tubing to the sprinkler piece but with patience and a little heat, got it done. Only one issue with a couple of the sprinkler male inserts breaking off rendering them useless. Could be something I did. So pleased with this system I purchased another to irrigate a flower bed. I may reconfigure supply tubing by covering it with pea gravel to hide it and provide protection. All of this saves me from having to hand water to avoid getting the leaves wet. I appreciate being able to shut off the sprinkler head in plants requiring less water.

I love this! It took about an hour to set up for my garden. I used a lighter to help soften the edges before putting iny the attachments. Watered my large raised bed garden all summer with almost no effort. Very versatile can be set up to allow more or less water easily to customize it to your plants. I used it with a timer to really automate my watering.

It has been about a month since I installed this system. Overall, it works great, and the installation was easy. I had more than enough spout connections and tubing for the size of my garden. If you follow the instructions and placement guides, the water flow should be sufficient. I connected mine to a smart valve and automated my watering. I highly recommend this system if you're looking for an economical watering solution.

I have purchased and installed different drip irrigation systems before, and since we moved, needed to start over again with irrigation of raised flower and veggie gardens. I purchased this kit, then added additional hose lengths (both diameters) in order to accommodate my specific runs. It is super easy to put together. The hardware that you install to the larger diameter hose goes on easily, and then you attach the smaller 1/4" tubing to the pieces that you just installed on the larger hose. It all comes together quite nicely. The hose (both diameters) is super flexible, so much easier to route to wherever you need it to go. The only down side to this for the thicker "main feed" line is that if you have a sharp bend to make, like 90*, the hose can pinch closed. Not to fear, they sell 90* corner pieces too, and that solves the problem at a small additional cost, but well worth it in my opinion to have such a flexible hose. TIP: When installing on a longer run, lay out the feed line first, then start installing the hardware and 1/4" lines and sprinkler heads at the FAR end first, working your way towards the spigot that feeds your system. This avoids the possibility of delaying the complete installation if you have to add on additional pieces or hose lengths as you move closer to completion of the project. Once you have it all laid out and installed, you'll have to balance out the individual sprinkler heads so that you have the appropriate flow per each sprinkler head. My system has about 17 heads I believe, and the flow is pretty weak now with the water pressure that I have at my outdoor spigot, but that's precisely what I wanted with a drip system... It waters all of my flowerpots and raised garden slowly, allowing the soil to drink up the water, without overflowing/wasting water. Nevertheless, if I had to add many more heads, I would have to have an additional feed line, and then switch between the two "zones" in order to increase water pressure at the sprinkler heads. The system does come with 2 feed fittings, so this would be possible...

This review is going to sound like I was paid to write it (I wasn't) or got the kit for free or at a discount (I didn't. ) I'm just a hobby gardener in Austin, Texas that has now had to deal with 40+ consecutive days of over 100°F days and NO RAIN. To keep my poor potted plants from suffering a new level in Dante's Hell, I have had to hand water the suckers at least every other day. Even first thing in the morning, it's a pretty miserable experience. I got this irrigation system out of pure desperation and a fleeting desire to remain sweat free until 9:00 a.m. At best, I thought it might water some of the larger pots while I still continued to hand water the smaller ones. (I'd still have to deal with the heat, but hey, a few minutes shaved off is better than nothing...) I got this kit and was pleasantly surprised by three things right off: First, all the various parts and connectors in the kit were nicely labeled and packaged (in eco-friendly paper bags no less!), so there was no guesswork as to what part fit which diameter tubing. Second, the tubing was not all kinked up when I uncoiled it and was ready to use straight out of the box. (I was expecting to have to uncoil the tubing and let it "relax" in the heat awhile before I could begin working with it.) Third, the kit came with a parts list so that I knew exactly how many of which kind of connectors I had available for use. This was really handy when visualizing how to access all my plants with the tubing. It was a little tricky to put the 1/4 inch tubing on the connectors, but the instructions suggested putting the tubing ends in hot water before sliding them on the connectors and that worked for the most part. (I still had to use pliers to get a good grip.) Now this is all fine and dandy, but my expectations of having it really work well were pretty low. As I was cutting the tubing and connecting the various drip heads, I was already planning on how I would have to cut the system in two so that I could have enough water pressure to reach all of my plants. Imagine the surprise this jaded and cynical purchaser received when I turned on the water spigot and everything worked like a charm. Even my farthest plants were getting water! I attached a third party timer to the system in order to comply with our local watering restrictions and it still works great. The packaging says that Carpathen is a family owned business so this may explain why everything worked as advertised. I am very pleased! (Yes, I still have to live in a broiler oven, but the barbeque is great and now I can minimize my time outside now during this apocalyptic heat.)
