VIVOSUN Professional Automatic Drip Irrigation Kits, 15W Output, All in One Professional Grow Kit- Includes Pump, Timer and Regulator, 8 Drip Emitters Garden Plant Watering System Indoor Outdoor

I don't get all the negative reviews on this irrigation system. I usually buy from AC Infinity for these types of purchases, but they only seem to offer single water pumps rather than a all-in-one system like this product from Vivosun...and it rocks. Not sure why there are complaints about leakage and/or grow tent flooding. My experience has been just the opposite. I recommend barely, if any, adjustments on the regulators. This might be the issue for a lot of people. Opening them up too much will certainly cause a leak. Another culprit for flooding might be not following the directions to use the included tool to poke a hole in the hose at the top of the bucket so water isn't syphoned out into the grow area. The tubing I received was packaged perfectly- wound in a nice coil with ZERO kinks in it from the manufacturer. Maybe this was a quality issue that has been resolved by Vivosun. Either way, no complaints here. I can't speak on the included timer. I chose a third party option that allows me a bit more control than the Vivosun unit. The water pump itself is a durable 15 watt pump. I'm experimenting currently, but I have the pump cycling on for 2 minutes every hour. The pump cycles through without fail. Installation was a breeze and the instructions were easy to understand. Since this is a standalone system, you don't have to connect it to an integrated controller or anything like you would with a system that syncs an inline fan, lighting, etc. to one another. So no connection quality issues - just set up the included timer. Also, the $40 price point is fantastic considering you're purchasing a full irrigation system right out of the box. I didn't have to buy any additional components to get up and running. I went out of my way to leave a worthwhile review of this product due to it's ridiculous sub-4 star rating. I HIGHLY recommend this irrigation system. Some of the negative reviews here have to be chalked up to user-error or past supplier quality issues. Vivosun has earned my future business.

Once again VIVOSUN has made a great product! My entire growing setup is all VIVOSUN and I don’t have 1 complaint. They all work extremely well together, easy setup, and great quality. I’ve read many reviews on this irrigation system. I’m not sure why people are giving bad reviews. Follow the instructions and keep your tubing tight (not a lot of slack) and even lengths. I turned the pump speed to about 50% 2 stakes per 5gal pot. It takes about 12min depending on your medium to get adequate runoff. People complain about tent flooding. Well you need to expect runoff so I purchased some elevated trip trays and the system works flawlessly! I recommend flushing your pots about every couple weeks to prevent nutrient lock but other than that it saves tons of time and keeps my plants healthy!

So far things are working as planned. However my first grow wasn’t successful. Nutrient lock out

I recommend spending the extra $10 to buy the 16 emitter kit with the smart plug. Way worth it. I am tempted to buy it when I get some extra cash. The timer is ok but you have to pay attention and recheck all settings. Watch it for a few days to make sure you don't have to adjust timing cycles, flow on the pump or both. I had one side that didn't work and found out that I had to cut a slight bit off of the tip that pushes into the 4-way splitter. It was in too far and impeded the water flow. Also flush your system from time to time to ensure that the emitters don't clog.

Edit: after a month, only 2 nozzles dispense water, nearly lost 3 plants because these unexpectedly stopped working. Such a simple propposition, pump water through a few plastic hoses. The issue with these are the injection molded splitters that come off the main tubes. Either don't work, fail after use or when they do work, dispense at vastly different rates from each other. If you need to rely on these, you'll end up with dead plants Original reviw: I have all five other Vivosun products that I am very happy with. This "Professional" automatic irrigation kit is very disappointing. It only has to do one thing and that is pump water to the plants. I assembled carefully following directions and only 5 of the 8 irrigation lines had any flow. I made sure there were no kinks and that I was using pure clean water. Ultimately I had to take 3 of the lines off, one from one splitter and two from the other 4 way splitter (not easy to get off once they are on) and use a 1/16th drill to drill out the hole because it was not patent....defectively manufactured. So, if you use these, verify that each line works before you depend on this system to sustain your precious seedlings. After the non working lines were opened, it worked but each line had a substantially different flow rate, some dripped twice a second, others once every3-4 seconds. I would only recommend this for emergency use if going of vacation with no one to water for you. Even then there is a risk. 2 Stars because ultimately it did pump water, I had no time to return it before leaving on vacation or I would have.

I first tried using only the flex feed watering system and placing the 5 gallon grow bags on them to grow carrots. Unfortunately my carrots never grew after seedlings despite the system keeping the soil moist. So I added the irrigation pumps for the flex feed and the carrots are on schedule for growing. Carrots thrive with consistent watering and they like the coco coir, vermiculite, greensand, worm compost and slow release fertilizer. It got unusually hot in my greenhouse and with the temperatures in the 90s, the reservoir became low and the irrigation pump made a squealing sound warning me so I filled the reservoir and it started pumping the water as usual. The reservoir indicator would have let me know it was low if I looked at it, too. I like the fact each pump doesn’t take much energy to run and they can plug into a separately purchased multi charger unit. Great quality products to use in my root garden I can grow year round in my greenhouse.

I bought this a few months back and installed it in my garden. It does a decent job, but there are some important caveats. This says its for indoor and outdoor plants, but the plug/timer itself is not meant for outdoor use. So unless you have a good spot to run your power from inside to outside, you need to get another way to control your outside system's power. Which renders a good part of this kit pointless. The tubing is easy to work with, and I didn't have any issues plugging the splits or emitters into it. I ended up buying an outdoor smart plug instead of the vivosun one and will be buying some new, slightly larger emitters and tubing. No complaints about the pump so far. If you have no idea where to get started with building this kind of system, go ahead and pick this up. That's why I got it. If you already have some experience with pump-and-bucket irrigation systems, skip it and just buy some parts on your own.

Worked great to start seedlings before the growing season. The timer has a lot of control on run times.

Ich nutze das Bewässerungssystem von VIVOSUN in meiner Indoor-Growbox mit Coco. Die Pumpe ist leise, aber stark genug, um auch mehrere Töpfe zuverlässig zu versorgen. Besonders gut gefällt mir der mitgelieferte digitale Timer – er bietet viele Einstellmöglichkeiten und läuft sehr exakt. Die Schläuche lassen sich mit etwas Geduld gut verlegen. Bei mir war alles vollständig im Karton, inklusive der Tropfer und Verteiler. Wichtig: Einmal sauber aufbauen und richtig eindrücken, dann ist das Ganze auch dicht und wartungsarm. Was mir aufgefallen ist: • Die Tropfer lassen sich gut dosieren (von Tröpfeln bis kräftig) • Der Timer ist nicht wie bei Billigsets – sondern zuverlässig und präzise • Die Pumpe ist leise, auch bei Dauerbetrieb kaum hörbar • Ideal für 4–8 Pflanzen, je nach Setup Einziger Hinweis: Die Schläuche können anfangs etwas widerspenstig sein – ich hab sie kurz in warmes Wasser gelegt, dann ließen sie sich deutlich besser verarbeiten. Fazit: Für alle, die ein zuverlässiges, leises System mit gutem Timer suchen: klare Empfehlung. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder kaufen – Setup ist einfach, Leistung passt.

Très décevant! La longueur de tube entre la pompe et le répartiteur est beaucoup trop courte. De plus, la puissance trop faible voir l'absence de pompage sont insuffisant pour fournir un débit constant.

I found this to be a great system so far. Im using 14 emulators out a a 32 gallon bucket. Even watering performance. I forgot it over night and it drained the 32 gallons and didnt burn out when it ran dry. Pretty solid little pump unit. Putting the hosing and such requires some grip strength. However when put together well it doesnt leak so far.
