This product worked well to water my plant while I was away. I set it up pretty easily, and made sure it worked. It's pretty noisy for a small pump, and otherwise it seems to work well and comes with plenty of materials/accessories. I hung it off a 2-gallon bucket, and made sure the water was flowing down from the pump to the plant (made the pump higher than the plant) to help w/water flow.

Easy to install and program

My wife and I scheduled a 3-week vacation, and we worried about our indoor plants surviving while we were away, so I searched for an automatic watering system to keep them alive while we were away. I checked several brands, but most didn’t have robust scheduling abilities (we didn’t want to over-water so we needed to set a schedule for once a week for our time away, and because we have multiple plants, we needed to schedule the time length for each watering session…all of the automated watering systems kept missing on our requirements until I discovered the Kollea automatic watering system.I actually bought two as we had multiple plants upstairs and downstairs, and, after reading the directions, my wife and I set them up with a small bucket of water for each pump, attached the various hoses (with T connections to the provided joints so the watering hose could water multiple plants per pump, and attached the filter to the end water draw hose, and placed it in the bucket. After running a yeast to make sure the pump pulled, and distributed, the water to the various plants without leaking, we set up the schedules, a week before we left so we could make sure the scheduling and water levels would be sufficient.The test went perfectly so we felt cautiously optimistic our plants would survive while we were out of the Country…When we returned, there hadn’t been any leaks, and the plants thrived, in spite of the fact our home lost power for several hours (due to storms).Therefore, I can tell you that the Kollea automatic watering system was reliable, works as advertised, and was easy to set up. I highly recommend it.

Se descompuso rápidamente. Solo lo pude usar 2 o 3 veces.

Easy to install. Supplied with High quality tubing and T joins. Please research the costing. Same item is available at lower cost from other sellers.

I've only owned this for about 4 months. About a month ago, it started delivering way too much water randomly. Maybe I have a bad unit. Hopefully, they will replace it.The plastic connecting joints are very weak. Once you attach them to the tubing, attempting to remove them will likely break them. Finally, clear tubing is a bad idea. It allows for algae to grow and eventually clog the emitters. I had to run bleach water through all the lines to clear them. I would suggest getting black plastic tubing and black pvc plastic joints to keep light out.

Fantastic solution overall! It worked great while we were away (3weeks) and I came back to healthy, watered and more than anything ALIVE plants.I found reading previous detailed reviews very useful in terms of the initial setup.It’s relatively easy and self explanatory yet things like pre-planning your placement before cutting and installing the watering tubes, elevating the water container to a similar level to where your plants are, testing out the actual amount of water coming out of each watering spike aren’t mentioned in the instruction booklet.What’s worth paying attention to also is that the time duration on the display is accurate - 3 days means 3 days, yet the water quantity isn’t.I had to play with a few amounts to then decide what will be sufficient for my plants as for example water display set to 200 dispensed about 40-50ml of water out of each spike rather than what you may assume will be 200ml.I tested it as a few reviews mentioned it.All in all I’m really happy with the purchase and will be using it whenever I go away.What I’ve no idea about is how to effectively dry out the tubes after use without having to disassemble the whole thing which still wouldn’t really let me wipe out all the remaining water.

The unit seems well made but there are a couple of fatal flaws and one place for improvement. The hose that comes with it is just thin vinyl aquarium tubing. It's tough to work with unless you soften the ends with hot water and it *never* lays flat. A quality silicone tubing would work much better.But, the fatal flaws... The first is that the unit never tells you when it's going to run. You set the volume and time from now and that's the last information you have. Which wouldn't be so bad except that it doesn't always run. It worked fine with test mode. It worked fine with a 1 hour and 1 day delay. But at 5 and 7 days it never ran. This second flaw makes it basically worthless except as a manual waterer which is what our house sitter is going to have to do while we're away.It really needs to confirm that it's been set and offer some kind of countdown. It has to run flawlessly. Trusting valuable house plants and orchids to something that may or may not work does not make any sense.Don't buy this.Update: 11/30/21 - Well, I took off for a few weeks and asked a neighbor to check to make sure the pump ran after one week. It did. Yay! And then it did again, judging by the water level. But the second run (500ml) didn't make it all the way through before the battery died. I came home to dry plants. So, despite what the instructions say, this needs to be plugged in all the time. It's just not reliable.

UPDATED 3/6/25: WORKED FOR ANOTHER YEAR'S HOLIDAY MONTH! ADDITIONAL TIPS- Be careful when detaching input/output tubing from pump as teats are very delicate- I snip off tubes with scissors then use nail clippers to cut off stubs. Remember to run pump on TEST to get all water out of pump before storing kit for long period of time.UPDATED 1/25/25: Getting ready to leave for the annual February at North Myrtle Beach, and I pulled unit out to set up for this year. Unit still going strong AND battery still showed full charge after being stored for a year (I still use power cord hook-up while using to be sure). See in the latest online photo that the control pad was redesigned for clarity and this is GOOD! I think that this product has a lot of returns due to buyers either not being able to set up or program properly IMHO! I have to reread the directions each year to do the set up and verify program settings before I'm sure! Don't want the wife's plants to die from lack of water. A happy wife means a happy life!!!UPDATED 1/23/23: Prepping for our annual February trip away. Unit still going strong and battery still had 80% charge from last year. INPUT teat snapped off when being disassembled last year. Super Glue fixed it, but be sure to use a probe inside it while glueing to make sure you don't block it up. Decided to carefully slice it off pump when I disassemble after using it each year. Still a good investment into the 3rd year.January 2021: Just bought this system so that my wife wouldn't lose her plants while we are away for a month. She didn't feel right asking a friend to come over due to Covid situation so I bought this system for her after comparing what is available on the market.Many of the reviews for the various systems are filled with dead plants, leaks, and failures, and I may know why. Since most of them come from China, the instructions are translated and leave a lot of confusion in their wake. I would have rated Assembly/installation higher if the instructions had been better.Here are the "Tricks" IMHO to making this system work:1. Unit came with a 70% battery charge in it. The USB cable supplied is WAY TOO SHORT and there's no charger. I added my own longer cable and USB/AC charger from a phone.2. Charge the unit to full charge. While charging unit will flash 7, 8, 9 (X10%) . Shows 10 when fully charged and connected by USB cord/charger to wall outlet.3. Read the instructions multiple times, then with unit in hand, do a dry run to program it.4. I then cut a short (about 18") piece of tubing, put it into a 2 liter bottle of water, sucked water into it and connected it to pump INTAKE, then standing at the kitchen sink I pushed test and pumped water for a while. Was impressed by the flow/pressure of pump. I then placed this in the side after connecting the intake filter (supplied with unit) to the tube still attached to the pump.5. Taking the roll of plastic tubing, I then unwound a piece long enough to reach/wind through all of the plant containers. I put a plant watering stake on the tube's end (path of least resistance) then working my way past each plant, snipped the tubing and installed a "T" joint that faced the center of each pot and continued to work my way to the last plant. CRITICAL: DO NOT PULL TUBING OFF OF FITTINGS AFTER INSERTION OR 90+% CHANCE OF LEAKAGE! WHEN YOU PUSH TUBING TO FITTING TWIST THE TUBE AS IT MOVES ALL THE WAY AGAINST PIECE.6. I had 9 pots so I cut eight 3" pieces of plastic tubing and inserted a watering stake in each one. I then attached to the open spot on each of the eight "T" fittings already in line. I DID NOT PUT STAKES IN POTS YET.7. Cutting a piece of tubing long enough to reach from the end of the first plant to where the bucket/pump would be located, it was attached to the end of the first "T" fitting in line, taken to the kitchen sink, and connected to the pump's OUT port. Once good flow from all stakes and no leaks were observed at the joints, the assembly was disconnected at the pump, taken to the pots, and the stakes were inserted into each pot's center.8. A large bucket was filled, the pump was reattached to the tubing assembly with the pumps intake line placed into the water and the USB charger/cord was plugged into 110v and the cord's end plugged into the pump AFTER the pump was clipped to the buckets side OVER the inside of the bucket (see photo 2). NOTE THAT THE PUMP IS HIGHER THAN THE BUCKET'S WATER LEVEL, LOWER THAN THE PLANTS/WATERING STAKES, AND THAT ALL TUBING CONNECTIONS (PHOTO 3) ARE OVER THE POTS SO THAT IF THERE IS A LEAK IT DRIPS ON THE PLANT. THIS SHOULD PREVENT ANY SIPHONING ACTION/SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE IF IT WOULD OCCUR.9. The pump was then run on TEST to verify water flow, lack of leaks, and total system operation.POSSIBLE CAUSE OF DRY PLANTS: The system's output is measured in milliliters (ml) TOTAL OUTPUT PER WATERING. THIS PUMP'S MAX OUTPUT IS 990 ml PER WATERING - 120 ml = 4OZ - SO IF YOU SET THIS PUMP TO 990 MAX YOU'RE ONLY PUTTING A QUART TOTAL INTO YOUR PLANTS COLLECTIVELY AT A TIME. I am almost certain that people who have complained of dry plants either didn't calculate the water amount/frequency OR the size of the water reservoir correctly. My wife determined that 4 oz per plant per week should be adequate BUT SHE HAD NINE PLANTS instead of eight and she wanted all nine watered so the amount is actually estimated at 3.7 oz per plant per watering. We will probably increase the frequency to 5 or 6 day intervals to over compensate.Well that's it for now. I plan on editing this review once we are back in March to report if the above worked.JUST BACK AND FOUND ALL PLANTS ALIVE & WELL WITH BUCKET EMPTY. Changed schedule to every 5 INSTEAD OF 7 days watering. BEWARE that you CAN'T regulate individual plant amounts so I found two small ceramic containers filled almost to top ready to overflow when I got back. Would have been my fault if it had happened. Other than that this system is definitely a buy in my book. IF YOU ARE GONE LONGER THAN A MONTH; SUGGEST YOU CONNECT MULTIPLE BUCKETS WITH LARGER D HOSES THRU SIPHON ACTION OR YOU WILL DEFINITELY RUN SHORT OF WATER AND PLANTS WILL DIE. BTW, YOU GET LOADS OF TUBING AND FITTINGS FOR VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS WITH THIS KIT.Best to all and stay healthy!
