Don't expect more than a few months of usefullness...
Install easy enough except when trying to get a watertight connection at fittings . Very hard to do using just hands. Since its all plastic didn't want to use pliers. Used from August, 2016 to November, 2016 to water 5 potted plants and worked ok. Put timer and tubing away for winter, then put back into use in March, 2017 after rains over. Worked at first then noticed leaks in two junctions where tubing went into pots. The fittings were tight but continued to drip. The Big Problem: Timer control stopped working, even after replacing batteries (originals were still good) and following instructions exactly. Tried everything to no avail. System will only work if timer used manually, which of course, negates the usefulness of a timer. So, total time the timer worked was approximately 5 months. Not a good return for the money and labor of installing drip watering. I'm back to watering my potted plants manually... UPDATE:Tried to reach Raindrip... hung up after 36 minutes of recorded message saying basically, "call someone who cares." Changed raring to one star...
