Gree house feeding
The media could not be loaded. Was a bit dubious when I saw the size of tbe solar panel. Very pleased though, even in overcast conditions it powered the pump with no issues at all. Used most of tbe hose and even the furthest away getting sufficient water through the feeder

Simple and effective
Easy to set up. Clear display so you can which mode it's on. Very quiet when running.Could have done with another 5m of tube.

Self-Powered for Isolated Greenhouses
This is a useful device for watering plants automatically in places where there is no mains electricity and you do not want to bother with batteries. The control unit (including pump) has two wires: one for the connection to the solar panel; and one for the connection to the low-water sensor.The solar panel can either be mounted on the ground using the included spike, or mounted on a surface with screws. There is a 300 cm cable from the pump to the solar panel. The connections to the control box are fully waterproof. We placed our panel on the front of the greenhouse such that it faces south. The angle can be adjusted. Being winter we set it at a low angle, but in summer we will set it to about 45 degrees. Fitting was simple with a hole being drilled in the greenhouse for the cable to pass through. However, we did trim the post slightly (using a hacksaw) as it was sticking out a bit too far on our greenhouse.You can place the water source quite a distance from the pump, as it is supplied with a 500 cm cable that is used to detect if the water source has been depleted, such that the pump will not run dry. The pump is limited to being no more than 1.5 m above the water source due to its power. We tested it by using a bucket of water, but our intention later on is to access water collected from the garage roof i.e. outside of the greenhouse.It was supplied with just over 14 m of water pipe, that is used for both the pump to the water source, and for the distribution of water around the plant containers. The watering system is easy to fit together. The pipe needs to be heated in hot water before it is pressed onto the connectors. When it contracts it forms a waterproof seal with the connectors. There certainly will be enough pipe for our purposes. We are currently using it just for winter salad but will expand the system later on when it gets warmer.The control unit has a good range of frequencies and watering duration. The pump is rated at 400 mL/min across all drippers (15 supplied), so the duration needs to be extended the more drippers are in use. It seemed to work fine in practice. There are indicators for low water (lights and beeps) or insufficient power (lack of sunlight), which are useful.This will be of great use for routine watering, particularly when we are on holiday.

The first one worked well
The second, the pump after 2 weeks charging still doesn't pump.Not happy.

Looks like a great little solar powered irrigation system.
I've had a good look trough the box and I must say, from what I can see, this looks like a great little solar powered irrigation system. Obviously, December is the wrong time of year to set it up and test it in my greenhouse, but I can't wait for spring, the lengthening days, and stronger sunlight, to give it more thorough testing. However, the quality of it looks good and I can't foresee there being many, if any, issues This system should allow me to be able to take a few days holiday in Summer without having to ask my neighbours to water my tomatoes and cucumbers.

Ok
Good for pumping small amount of water to plant not enoght pressure to use as a sprinkler system

Not waterproof
I didn't even try it out, the back of the solar panel was so badly glued on it wasn't attached. I couldn't tell you about the quality of the irrigation system, I sent it straight back.
