Perfect Irrigation for my garden!
I bought this kit, along with an additional 100 ft of 1/2 inch tubing, 50 ft of 1/4 inch tubing, 1” garden stakes, and additional connectors for the the 1/2 hose and this irrigation system works perfectly! This irrigation system runs about 80:ft around 3/4 of my house. I set up a regular garden hose that runs along the back of my house across my patio to my garden. This is where it connects to the irrigation system. To insure that I had enough water pressure for the entire length, I use the pieces that I was able to adjust and shut off in case I wasn’t getting enough water pressure. So I put most of the orange drip irrigation tips within the first 40 ft length of 1/2 inch hose. I used connectors about every 3-5 ft so that I could run the 1/4 inch tubing & fittings to each individual plant along my foundation. I used 9 of the blue tipped fountain sprayers, 5 of the red tipped sprinklers, all 20 of the orange tipped adjustable spray/drip heads (I glued these on) and a few of the T connectors. I also used 10- 1/2 “ connectors (these are what you attach the 1/4” tubing to and only 4 come with the kit). The key to my assembly success, and what saved my fingers from agonizing pain, was using a heat gun! I tried the hot water method but after a few minutes The water would cool too much and the tubing would not get hot enough to stretch and slide over the fitting. The tubing that comes with this kit was softer than the tubing that came from another seller that I purchased as extra. Once I got the tubing over the fitting I heated it again which cause it to shrink slightly around the fitting so that when it cooled it was set in place. I used garden stakes to hold the hose and connectors firmly in place. I capped the end, which comes with the kit. I had a bunch of left over pieces. This took me several hours to assemble but it is well worth it. I’ve used it only about 4 times since installing it 2 weeks ago because we keep getting rain, but I only have to run it for 5-10 minutes because it is directly watering each plant! This is such a huge time and water saver for me! So happy with this purchase!!!

Best to have to save plants!!
I usually like to do watering by myself but now the weather is not so good and too windy felt like a good idea to have drip irrigation to save plants.I never tried drip irrigation the first time trying it. I didn't expect the quality of the product under $30 is really worth having. The tube is really thick I had a hard time putting the links, then read the description found out to keep it in hot water for a few min makes my day easier. But i needed more sprinkler points I bought them separately now I got everything I want. It's working well I am hoping it will sustain for a long time.

Most of it is garbage
I do lot of yard work and usually I buy the pieces from the hardware store. I added a vegetable garden that needed its own irrigation grid and timer. This package seemed to have everything you need except the quality is very bad. The extension connectors and may be the main hose are ok, the rest is garbage. The drip tubes is something you will have to throw in the bin upon arrival or else you will waste time and money. The size and the quality of the tube is so bad that multiple connections easily pop out under the hose water pressure. The result is flooding parts and killing others from lack of water connection. Of course you wouldn't know that unless you are there through the cycle since it breaks at different time at different spots. I wasted the time and now I have to replace everything by off the shelf replacements of all the tubes and the nozzles. Do yourself a favor and don't touch it.

A good value, but not exactly a high quality system
Very easy to assemble and install, but the primary line should be longer, as the smaller lines that branch out from the source lose A LOT of pressure. In some cases, you are left with just a dribble of water coming out of the sprinkler head, but the those closest to the source are gushing out. The amount of adjustment to help regulate that is non-existent...it is either off or on.

Good kit with lots of options
It's a nicely put together kit and very reasonable price. Nice range of emitters and each is adjustable. Assembly is a little difficult at times. The 1/2" fittings go together easily once I actually understood how to do it. But when I started it up, several of the 1/2" fittings leaked. Had to tighten further with pliers, but still one leaks a bit. The 1/4" tubing is a bear to push onto the fittings. I found that hot water didn't help much but used one of those sticky pads you use to grip a jar lid to open it worked pretty well to help push on the tubes. Overall pretty satisfied so far. Added a pressure control and a timer inline.
