Just make sure you are watering uphill, so siphoning doesn't appear. We ended up putting our plants up on wooden boxes to elevate them. They are too large for small tables. We placed two drips in each pot. Had a 5 gallon bucket with water, so there was plenty of water for the week. Review: Good product with some issues - Easy to install other than it not having a label for which is the in and out nozzle on the unit. Instructions are quite bad and likely a poor translation. The pieces it comes with are mostly good with a couple of them causing leakage. Not a deal breaker for me though. The water tubing is good quality. Overall the unit was smaller than I expected, which is great. I adjusted the number of nozzles per plant to supply optimal water amount per species. Did some experiments to determine how many oz/ml were pumped per second, which as to be expected, varies depending on the total number of nozzles and configuration. Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome and being able to 3 leave plants unattended for 45-50 days with a 7 gallon water canister and this unit. 4 stars only because of poor instructions and the couple of leaking connectors.

Nice, watch out for siphon
Very nice, moves a lot of water. My two plants only needed 20 secs once per day. Be careful of siphon effect, unit and plants need to be above water source level, then works fine.

Check your battery compartments!
Wow - I had seen one review where one of the battery ports was made incorrectly and then I opened mine to find this! Completely unusable. The reason I gave 3 stars was because this was one of 2 sets I purchased. The other was wired correctly but the directions were horrible so thank you to all of the other reviewers who posted instructions. The pump works well and the tubing is good quality.

Don’t buy if using in higher humidity
I liked this at first. It was confusing putting the setting on it but I figured it out after a few tries. What I do NOT like is the fact the USB plug rusted and now no longer works because the humidity in the grow tent was apparently too high. The plug corroded and now no longer works. Not happy as I only used the thing a few weeks

The automatic watering system is fantastic.
I like the fact that I do have a freedom of mine to travel and my indoor garden will be water

Bad instructions, siphons
First, the good. The pump is strong and works well. It's small and easy to place. The Bad: The included instructions were written by a non-English speaker and it shows. Programming is poorly explained. Who thought expressing the interval time in hours using tenths as a unit was a good idea? The instructions say, " Set the interval time for each watering. The minimum time is 0.1 which means watering every hour. The maximum is 30, which means watering every 30 days." Got that? Good luck figuring out how to water every other day. The instruction's example mentions setting it to water every day at 9 AM, however there is no time set function so I assume that just means 24 hours from the time you program it. How to use the many pipe junctions to water multiple plants isn't explained at all. As other said, make sure you place the water supply below the level of the lowest drip outlet. If you don't, it will siphon every drop of water out of the bucket. Apparently nobody thought it important to put a check valve in the pump to prevent this. This gets the job done. Too well if you aren't careful about where the water source is place. It siphoned fie gallons of water through a gardenia in under 24 hours because I had the bucket on a table. With a check valve and better instructions I would have given 5 stars.
