Customer Reviews
Too expensive for its reliability, Awful customer service!
Bought three of these to connect together and irrigate a bed. The included barbed extension inserts leaked like a sieve, and all customer service could do is ask if I had inserted them all the way. My answer was "Yes, and I have added hose clamps to tighten them up. Do you have any suggestions beyond this?" to which I never received a reply. Ironically, the plug for the end which has similar barbs seals perfectly. Other issue is as stated above, the other day on 5 of 7 sprinklers, the little swivel heads blew off for some reason, so now most of the water just goes out into the yard, rendering it useless until I can get more. The swivel heads are slightly larger than a BB, so I'm sure they're laying out in the grass somewhere, but I can't find them. I almost gave two stars because I at least know how to get it to function, but when you shell out this much, it ought to work out of the box. In the end, I used a different barbed extension piece from a hardware store, silicone caulk, and cranked on the hose clamps with a screwdriver until my hands hurt, and I am about 99% sealed, no thanks to the manufacturer.
Pssssst... I did the same thing in another bed with regular lawn edging and little sprinkler heads from a large blue and grey hardware store and spent about a tenth as much. And oh yeah, it doesn't leak or blow out.
EDIT 7/30/09: Last summer I spent around $130 on three of these, replacement sprinklers for the blown out ones, hose clamps, various barbed fittings, and silicone. This summer, more heads blew, and leaks appeared along the line. Just spent yesterday tearing this garbage out and replacing it with $40 worth of Mister Landscaper stuff from Lowe's, which I installed leak-free in about four hours, including running it under an existing sidewalk. I have never written a negative review on any site, but this was easily one of the worst purchases I have ever made, and I am not someone who expects perfection out of the box. Garbage man will take it away Monday, and good riddance. Well conceived but cheaply manufactured product, clueless and unhelpful customer service who basically reads from the FAQ. DEFINITELY OVERPRICED, especially when you account for the fact that you will need to buy different in-line connectors because the included ones are crap.
Low-cost alternative to sprinkler system
I needed to irrigate a small area in front of my house. The planting bed is about 30 ft. wide by 4 ft. deep. I recently installed fresh plantings and did not want to have to waste time hand watering the area every night. I had seen this product at my local home improvement store a few years ago. I guess nobody carries this product in stores any longer so I did a search online and was happy to find it on Amazon. I received the product within a few days of placing my order. I installed the product along the front of the planting bed. I used all 5 spritzer heads equally spaced. It was perfect for my needs and I recommend this to anyone else out there who needs a low-cost alternative to installing a sprinkler system.
if only.....
i love this product, the only thing that i dont like about this product is that the little sprayers that come with the product dont reach to the back of my flower beds. the sprayer sprays about 3 feet wide but does not reach to the back of the bed. i also had to cut off the the ends in order to make them connect, they should have but some kind done something with the end but after i cut it off it connected fine.. so those are the only 2 bad things i could say about it.. so if i were you and a serious gardener and want to water my plants without wasting water then this is the product to buy.. i could go on and on but i will start to ramble.
