Operates on one 9v battery (not included).

•  We even use 1/2" Mainline so that you will have enough water pressure to water all of your pots and baskets within 100 foot area.
•  A smaller 1/4" line may just dribble or dump the water all in one spot.   This system will water every pot and basket the same!
•  Each emitter outputs 0.5 gph!     For extra large pots, run 2 emitters.
•  Make a mistake? Change your layout next year?   No problem... goof plugs are included.

NOTE:  The White Kit weighs more because of the white mainline.  The black mainline is rolled in a tighter coil and fits in a smaller box than the White mainline tubing.  So you may notice the white kit costs a little bit more to ship than the black kit.

Attn. Customers with Concrete Walls:  A Florida customer shared this alternative with us for the CLJ Clamps included with the Kit.  If you have a concrete wall, he suggested

"using Plastic U-Straps.  I used these p lastic straps from the hardware store with concrete scr ews 3/16 by 1 1 /4.  Need to drill first... hammer drill is best if you have one!"

  I love my irrigation system the we purchased from Berry Hill. My husband installed it and it was so easy. And my Ferns are so happy on my from porch and my covered back deck. And I am happy that I don't have to water them every day.

  I have this kit on my porch at home for my hanging baskets and pots. My plants get so big every year! I added an orbit timer and have used this system now about 5 years. It's easy to install and then I just leave it out all year. I just take the Filter and Timer inside during the winter months.

  Installed this system on our front porch last weekend. Works great! In a block and stucco house such as ours, the J-clamps provided are useless... I used 1/2" plastic straps with concrete screws instead. See the "Share" section for a photo. Perhaps this kit should offer the necessary parts for installation into concrete, as an option?
