Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, start by placing the pump unit into your water butt and positioning the solar panel in a location that receives maximum daily light. Run the provided tubing through your garden area, cutting the hose to fit the distance between your pots and inserting the tee connectors where necessary. Attach the 15 drippers to the end of the stakes and secure them into the soil.
Compatibility:
- Works best with water butts and rainwater collection tanks.
- Compatible with most standard greenhouse and patio containers.
Care instructions:
- Filter Maintenance: Check the pump filter weekly during peak summer months to clear sediment.
- Solar Panel Upkeep: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to ensure maximum charging efficiency.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, disconnect the pump and store it indoors during the winter to prevent internal water from expanding and damaging the components.
