Irrigation systems

Zeusiblue

Hi all i was in P.Barrats today and was looking at the Aqua hozelock irrigation system which would be ideal for watering pots and plants whilst on holiday. Was a bit off by pricetag of £45 !! Has anyone tried this and is it worth the money?

They are quite good, I use one with a tap timer when on holiday. Theres a few copies on ebay, but only the pipes, it seems to be the main timer units that cost the money.

brilliant piece of kit, search online and you may get it a bit cheaper. the kit does my patio comfortably and you can increase it by buying extras. well worth it especially when on holiday.

Thank you for your replies. is there much difference between the normal model and the deluxe?

Might need to correct myself, mines the normal auto micro irrigation like these:

I think aqua only applies to the pod versions, which look a bit small scale.

Aldi has a copy in next week, but without the timer, which is needed really.

ebay is also full of copy kits.

If your talking about the same ones, I think only the deluxe comes with the timer.

I paid £15 each for three of these down at B&Q.
