Maotong 240FT Drip Irrigation System Kit, Automatic Garden Watering Misting System for Greenhouse, Yard, Lawn, Plant with 1/2 inch Hose 1/4 inch Distribution Tubing and Accessories

super customizable. easy to put together. exactly as described. only put it together today so can't speak on the longevity but it's exactly what i'd hoped for. love it- saved my summer. small price to pay for a lot of time and effort saved.

Worked well for our front porch to water the beds in front of the porch as well as the six hanging baskets. I will need to get another spool of 1/2" to do another set up elsewhere in the yard, but great value since there we plenty of extra 1/4" parks and 1/4" hose. Water pressure is way more than enough and works well on a hose timer, so I am very please

Installed about 2 1/2 years ago. Running on a 4 outlet manifold from a big orange box store. Most of the system still works. The first year, the small diameter hose became very hard, but didn't crack or break. The emitters caps dry up, become brittle and crumble away the second year. Easily replaced though. Expanding the system can get expensive if buying piece by piece. Recommend buying another separate system to scavenge parts for expansion. If purchasing more of the 1/2 inch line, don't even bother with the stiff stuff, get some that has some flexibility. Exception might be if you were tying it every couple feet like in a greenhouse. Somewhere in the system you need a strainer. 500 to 1000 microns is enough. Even little bits of garden debris will plug an emitter or a junction somewhere and then you'll have to disassemble a bunch of stuff to find the problem. YES, attaching anything to 1/4" hose is a serious pain. Try boiling water to soften the 1/4" branch line. I used a small camp stove to keep water boiling. Also, needlenose pliers are your friend. You can use one arm to open up the 1/4" hose a little bit.

Takes some time, but well worth the effort! Nice kit with PLENTY of hose and fitting selections. Paired with a hose timer, it is a self sufficient watering system! Absolutely happy with the purchase and will be buying a 2nd kit in the future when we expand. All the sprayers ARE ADJUSTABLE! Meaning you can regulate the amount of water coming from each nozzel separately, super customizable.

The overall value of the tubing is the best part of this kit, though it is not as durable as rainbird, raindrop or orbit brands. I accidently punctured the tubing multiple times just adjusting th online when I had it laid out. The 3/4-1/2 reducers cross thread no matter what you do, so some silicone based glue or PVC pipe glue is recommended. There is no pressure regulator with this kit, it's absolutely necessary as without it every connection leaked. The spray nozzles (small, inline) do not adjust well. You either get a concentrated spray area (not the 3' diameter they claim) or it's loose enough to leak from the T-joint. The two staked sprinklers (bubbler, umbrella) state they are adjustable from 0-18.5 gal/min. They are not. You can adjust the spray throw, but they are on or off. I measured the water at the lowest setting and it was still in the 18g/m range. The length of the hoses is great, I have 10,000 sqft lot, and I was able to run a central main line and 4 primary lines off of it, watering 4 garden boxes, 3 herb boxes, and 20 additional plants. However, this would not have worked with the provided sprinklers. I had thought ahead and purchased a RAINBIRD repair/expansion kit that came with over 30 drippers and an additional 100' of .25in tubing and splitters. If I did it again, I'd go all rainbird or one of the others.

This is my first time ever setting up any kind of irrigation system for my garden. I have a 16x16 fenced-in area with four 2x4 foot raised beds. I had no issues setting everything up The quarter inch tubing was soft enough that I didn't have any issues getting it connected. I wish it would have came with a few more drip emitters as that's pretty much all I'm using but otherwise this kit has everything you need plus some extras. So so much extra quarter inch tubing for future projects. I connect this to a garden hose which is connected to my outdoors spigot by the house. I did purchase a backflow preventer and a down regulator. No issues with hoses popping off with this set up

Package has ample quantity of components, that’s the good news. Brace yourself for continuous disconnects in your future, and if you plan to be out of town and trusting this kit to stay put together while your gone, don’t. That’s the bad news. I’ve had drip and spray systems at three other properties. For each of them, I bought components a la carte at the usual home improvement stores. Never have I had any of my connections come apart. I’ve had the typical failures of pieces breaking - it happens - but the professional stuff is of such a higher quality that I didn’t really worry. This time, I thought I’d give it a try with something else and save a few bucks. Mistake! The quality of this kit doesn’t compare at all. The 1/4 lines are soft vinyl and don’t grip the fittings like they should. I installed this for five raised beds and overhead lines for hanging plants. That was a couple weeks ago. Since then, I’ve had 7 disconnects at various connections. The first one was the day I installed it! And before you ask about water pressure, I use pressure reducers at the bib with my b-hyve controllers. I know what I’m doing, and the issue isn’t me or the pressure, it’s the less than stellar quality of this kit. If you have a casual setup and you want to manually water your stuff while you admire your work, this is probably a decent solution for you. It’s easy to work with. If you want something that’s reliable and don’t want to think about it at all, hard pass and go buy the real stuff.

This system works great. It was a very low cost to add watering to my beds around the house.
