Got this to irrigate a new hedge. Works fantastically alongside a timer. I love the sprinklers but really hate the little spikes and could not get them to work. More sprinkler heads would be ideal. Hose isn’t very long either so I use two hoses.
Using clips to hold in place this is a very versatile and easy to use means of watering pots etc. The umbrella fountain like spray means plants are gently watered. It is wasy to install and can be used with a timer. Great value!
Buying the hose, sprinklers, pegs and various other parts (included in the set) would be a lot more expensively individually. If you require the majority of parts, included, you will find this set value for money. Otherwise, just buy the parts you require, separately.
As we have a 100m garden, this is my third set, so that all of the hoses, sprinklers, etc are joined together to water all of our valuable fruit bushes, flowers and plants.
Like a costly bike needs a good lock. Plants need a reliable watering system, feed, compost and a timer to prevent loss. Want to save time daily, buy yourself a good watering system. Hoselock may be pricey but it just works. Recommended!
I wanted something to help the watering of 10 new trees. I was so impressed with how easy it was to install that I expanded my plans and I bought a further 20 dippers, 60m of the flexi hose and a few other accessories to encompass 16 rose bushes and a number of honeysuckle and jasmine bushes. It is great set up…. literally takes just a few minutes.
You do though need to develop the “knack” to lock in the drippers in place but other than that it is so quick. Also make sure you think about which direction you want the dippers to tilt. Very happy indeed.
The Hozelock products connect so well and so flexible. Very very impressed
Product was simple to install and has really made a difference to our shrubs and plants. My only reservation about this product is that the quality/robustness of some of the parts are not up to Hozelock’s usual high quality. We had issues with a couple of the sprinkler heads: on one the piecing needle was not properly secured into its base and on the other the cap was loose leading to the head leaking. Though I fixed them both I would not have normally expected this from Hozelock.
Upon setting up and testing for the first time, all droppers the. Needed readjusting as no water came out. Plants all died when I was on holiday. Maybe my fault for not setting up sooner and testing twice.
I purchased 12 of these items and a few reels of hose lock supply hose.
I have a single garden tap. From this point I have one 150m run going left watering this entire side of my garden. Going right I have another run that hits the right side of my garden which is about a 200m run that encompasses my rose garden that is elevated 10m and my vegetable patch along with more borders.
Now when I say my water pressure is bad, it is bad. I purchased the hozelock turbo jet to boost my system and everything works flawlessly.
The left run is fine.
The right run is too long to water adequately even with the pump so between my rose garden and vegetable patch, about half way, I have split the pipe run. I simply plug and play the different runs at this half way point and everything is fine.
All in all if you have a huge garden like mine do not despair. It used to take me 2 hours at time to water all of my borders. Now I simply turn my tap, 15 – 20 minutes then remove one pipe from the pump, push another in and everything is watered.
The hozelock kit works excellently but make sure you only use their branded stuff, other makes will leak or not seal properly.
The only fault is out of my 120+ drippers, 2 broke whilst installing. Might of been me being a brute or the product but considering everything works as intended I am happy.
A lot of people say don’t do a run that is more then 40m, you can go further but you just need either a pump or adequate water pressure.
This product was easy to set up in minutes and did exactly what it said on the box. Very impressed and I now have peace of mind that my border will have the growing conditions it requires.
I managed to get the 1m diameter coverage but only by removing the flow restrictor. The set up in a 8ft by 4ft bed was achieved with just 3 sprinklers.. so I could water 3 raised beds with this and have enough pipe to water the soft fruit area as well.
The sprinklers are not great as they do not spread the water sufficiently. ( ie you get wet spots.) however after a while the water seems to dissipate everywhere so I think it will work .
I found the clips a bit tricky at first, but like a lot of fixings, when you have done the first one the system becomes clear and straightforward.
If you find you have made a mistake you can easily block the hole with the blanking pieces provided.
A good product overall.
