Key features & specs

How it compares

While standard garden sprinklers waste water by spraying into the air, this Raindrip system delivers moisture directly to the root zone. It is more specialized than generic soak hoses, which are difficult to route into individual pots. Compared to smart controllers like the Rachio, this is a self-contained hardware solution that requires no existing irrigation infrastructure.

How to use it

1. Attach the digital timer to your outdoor faucet and set your desired watering frequency and duration.
2. Run the main supply tubing along the path of your containers.
3. Use the included tool to punch holes and attach the feeder lines for each individual pot.
4. Secure the dripper stakes into the soil near the center of each plant's root ball.
5. Perform a test run to ensure all emitters are flowing correctly and tension is even across the line.
