Cinagro Plants Drip Irrigation Kit | Watering Kit for Home Garden, Farming & Agriculture Purposes (30 Plants Kit)

Been a couple days i have used this and here are my observations: Fit - all fittings fit snugly with no much leakage. The system does not require a high flow rate/pressure. I connect it to my main water line at flow rate of about 1l/min and it works without hassles. The loosest fit is the dripper which is at risk to come loose if high water pressure is used. Adjustability : This I would consider somewhat of a con in that it's not a drip irrigation. The flow rate at the slowest from the dripper is at around 49ml/min, which is quite high. So within 10mins u will have watered about 500ml . Further there is no option to turn off the dripper. To stop flow u need to unplug the dripper and block the 4mm pipe. Appearance: Quite aesthetic looking if u route the main supply pipe properly. My suggestion here would be to place the main pipe (16mm) at a higher level and the 4mm pipe to be connected along the bottom to go downwards. (Have ordered more main pipe and will post photos once my system is set) Value for money: definitely as at ₹500-600 for 30 plants, u can just turn on the mains and forget it for the time u want to water.(else u lose around 1/2 hr watering each plant individially) If u use an irrigation timer even this much attention will not be required. To sum up: Pros: Works as advertised Fit it and forget it - hence time saving Doesn't require much water pressure. Cons: Dripper fitting is on the looser side Slowest drip rate is ~50ml/min No option to turn the dripper off. Suggestions: Use sprinkler type end drippers along with these drip ones if u need to cover a wider ground area(e.g. in gardens where u might have a mix of plants growing on the ground and in pots)

A bit pricey for plastic pipes. Not worth more than 1000 ₹. Pipes are very hard to turn or work with. Battery of the valve last not that long. If you buy pipes and fittings you can get it for 6-700₹

I have bought this kit twice - because I fell short on some items from a single kit and also because the emitters are terrible quality. Overall, the mix of items is not what I would have ordered, had I ordered singly. What is the point of including 6 end-caps, 10 straight connectors, and 5 T connectors? I used 3 end caps and that is more than enough - I have a complicated system. I used only one T-connector. Instead, the kit should have included more feeder-to-supply-line connectors. Incidentally, those connectors are really difficult to place. I have calluses from putting in those connectors. MOST IMPORTANT: The emitters cannot be controlled much. They flow more like a nozzle instead of dripping. In other words, you cannot adjust them to less than maybe 80% full flow, which wastes water and destroys the whole point of drip irrigation. I had to buy different emitters to make the system work.

Good for the price, using it for last 3months, good so far

I needed to water about 50 plants. But before choosing the brand or buying I decided to know a bit about these kits Watched YouTube videos on how to plan the layout design. Based on that idea and after checking out price and reviews of similar products found many brands good enough for my small garden After checking out bit more found it was better to buy 2 kits for 30 plants than 1 kit for 50 plants. Cinagro offer was the best price so bought it and it's been a few months and no major issues Also when you receive it... before cutting the pipes, please check and see the big and small pipes are not bent anywhere so that the water flow will be smooth throughout ... I had to return another brand kit which I bought initially, because the tubes were bent badly choking the flow of water How to go about deciding the kit for your garden? Check how many plants you have to water totally. And how many levels like ground floor terrace and hanging plants or plants on stands Watch YouTube videos on how to plan the layout design and how the kit works Then plan and Design and Create the pipe lines and connections near the wall (this is an important criteria for my garden as we have children) Remember to have minimal pipe lines running across the cement floor / walking area / space that needs cleaning, otherwise the pipes can turn out to be a trip hazard and/or nuisance when raking leaves/cleaning/sweeping the garden space... especially in homes where there are small children running and playing in the garden
