Great product!
We bought a name brand starter kit for our starter drip irrigation system. The spigots are of higher quality and do not displace the dirt. This is a much better product than I expected. I just wish the timer we bought did even half as well.

Just does not work, lots of problems
This was the lowest-priced drip kit so I went for it. It has lots of problems. I've abandoned it as an option and am going to use something else.The threaded hose connector has threads that don't seem to match up with any of the 5 mating hose threads I tried. Its almost like it has a slightly different thread pitch or something. You can get it to work if you are extremely careful to avoid cross threading. After attaching it to the metal hose thread and pulling it back off, there was obvious damage to this kits plastic threads (not cross threaded, more like theads that weren't the same size. I had some hoses with plastic threads but wouldn't even try them for fear that there would be thread damage. The first sign that this kit is crap is that it comes with teflon tape when hose connections are sealed by a rubber washer in the female side of the hose connection.I had lots of leak problems. The T-connectors were the main problem. The hose would blow off of them. I tried to correct for this with a 25-psi pressure regulator but that didn't fix it. I tried zip ties on each but that didn't fix the leaks and the hose would still blow off. Some of the T-connectors appeared to spring leaks through their hard plastic. (P.S. I made sure every hose was over the 2nd barb on every connector and cut off the hose before reconnecting a hose so I didn't re-use a section of hose that had been stressed).I think the hose used is just too soft. It is more rubbery than plastic and the difference in flex/softness is significant between say 65 degF and 90 degF. So this kit might work fine in the spring but, when warmer temps hit, the hose will go soft and pop off its connections.The hose's softness makes assembly very difficult. The instructions say to put the hose in hot water for 10 sec before connecting it, which I did. The problem is that the warm water makes the hose extremely soft to the point where you can't really push the hose onto the T-connector because the hose will collapse on itself. I managed to get the hose on the barbs like this but it was a PITA. I was in a hardware store and was looking at their drip systems. Their hose was much stiffer and I would say was more plastic-like than rubbery.Of the 30 drip heads, 4 would not adjust to closed or go anywhere near a drip.

Cannot connect to a garden hose or hose bib.
Set would not be that bad if you could use it. First, the tubing smelled so bad from chemicals that after I opened the box I had to leave it out in the garage. Then when I attempted to try it out, none of the faucet adapters fit on a garden hose or hose bib faucet. The threads are not Female Hose Threads (FHT). Don't know what they are. Might be 3/4 inch but don't fit on hose or hose bib faucet. There was no way you could get it connected to a garden hose. Tried to find a hose adapter at the local big box they did not have any that fit the small tubing supplied with the kit. Worthless if you can't connect it. Sent it back. Will try another brand/seller of the same type item.

Good irrigation drip kit
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Got this kit to replace some of the existing drip hose and valves that i had installed before that stopped working. This kit is pretty cheap compares to all the individual parts if i were to buy them separately at Home Depot. They work well and fit into my existing setup. In my video, i show the whole set up that you'd need to create an automatic garden watering system, which you'll need the automatic sprinkler timer, with half in rubber hose and filter.

Easy to install
I purchased this drip set for a small vegetable garden. This set is easy to install and works perfectly. I am now able to distribute the correct amount of water to each plant simply by adjusting the flow rate on each drip head. Once the initial adjustments were done, all I have to do is turn on the water. This set is also expandable. Feels good to know that I can add to it and move the pieces around if the layout of my garden changes. There are no cons to purchasing this drip set......

Really convenient way to water your entire garden with no extra effort!
My in-laws grow a beautiful vegetable garden every year. Last year I recall my father in law struggling to water each plant as he would have to lug the heavy hose over and stand there for awhile to make sure he got the whole thing. This year I was determined to try to make their life a little easier. I found this 82 ft micro drip irrigation system and knew we had to give it a try. They arent quite ready to set everything up as it is still a bit early however we have played around with the set and it looks pretty straightforward. They are getting older so it is going to be much easier for my father in law to just turn on the hose and all plants will be watered at once. Its pretty cool that you can adjust each nozzle according to how much water you want for that specific plant. You can have each nozzle put out a different amount of water depending on the plats need. We will be setting it up for the season in the next few weeks. I will update if for any reason we are not successful. So far I am pleased and cant wait to try it out.

Decent set, but you'll have to buy more parts to get it to work.
Overall I like this set. It was reasonably easy to assemble. Found it was much easier to not soak the tubing in warm water before installing it. That made it too soft to be able to push onto the fittings.One negative, and it's a big one. The threaded connection isn't the proper threads for a hose bib. It's threaded for a faucet in the house. I had to buy a hose repair kit and use the rubber fitting to make it work. Very disappointed in that aspect of the kit.But overall, it waters well and I like that each dripper is individually adjustable.

Very disappointed.
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This product seemed made well enough. Also it wasn’t too hard to set up, just time consuming. However the faucet connector is terrible. I ordered a replacement just to see if perhaps my first one was bad. They both leak. No matter how much white tape, it always leaks. Also if you’re using up almost all the hose then the water pressure drops and the very end barely gets any water. I do not recommend this product.
