Review on Efficient Self-Watering For Your Garden With WayinTop'S Automatic Irrigation DIY Kit by Jeff Bremmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works but has problems

The package arrived with 5 pumps even though the pictures only show 4 but one of the pumps ended up not working when I applied power to it so I basically still got 4 working pumps. All the pumps came with short wires which were less than a foot which is probably not enough for most applications. I ended up extending the wires by at least another foot. The relay arrived with a bent pin which was easily straightened out. One of the relay channels doesn't work which is slightly irritating but the other 3 work just fine. The relay also arrived with one of the LEDs broken off which happens to be for the non-working relay channel. Half of the busbar (on the working relay channels) is not soldered properly and is angled but still works as expected. The tubing arrived with a strong plasticky smell but I left it in a water and vinegar bath overnight which got rid of most of the smell. The moisture sensors work as expected but need to be tested to find their water and air values in order to get an accurate moisture percentage. Overall a good product with some minor issues that can be easily fixed (except for the broken relay and the LED).

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • May Waste Water
