This solar-powered irrigation kit is so handy if you’re planning on going away. It will keep up to 20 pots watered when you’re not around so you needn't spend your holiday worrying about your plants!
It doesn’t need to be connected to a tap or hose, just a bucket of water (or a water butt) so it’s very simple and user-friendly. The 3-in-1 main unit combines a water pump, a control unit to set the watering schedule and a solar panel to recharge the batteries.
Choose a sunny spot for the main unit (you can stand it on a surface, hang it on a pot or fix it to a wall). Connect it to your water bucket and run the drippers to your pots using the supply pipe (this can be cut to size). Once you’re set up, choose one of the 14 programmes to set your watering schedule. Each of the 20 drippers can deliver up to 300ml of water.
Contains 1 x main unit with integrated pump and solar panel, 20m (3/16") supply pipe, 20 x 0.5 l/h pressure-compensating inline drip heads, 15 x (3/16") pipe pegs, 3 x rechargeable AA batteries (1.2 V, 2,400 mAh), 8 x (3/16") plugs, 1 x filter.
