This system was relatively easy to setup. I had 18 pots on drippers. Six of the emitters did not work properly, they did not drip, just a steady stream of water. Their customer service got back to me quickly. Hugo suggested a couple of things to try, which I did. I still had several emitters that did not drip. Hugo then sent me a package of replacements with plenty of spares. All is good now, system works great for 3 weeks. I appreciate the prompt and positive response I got from customer service.

I bought this for my 2 -year-old potted Meyer Lemon tree because I was going to out of town a few times during this past summer. It was trial and error to figure out how many spouts to attach to the little tubing as I wound it around and around the base of the tree in. Also had to test how frequently and how long to have it water the 16” pot. Finally settled on 5 minutes every 12 hours (had about 12 watering thingys on the tube). It worked great all summer. Tree is green and healthy with 15 fat lemons still turning from green to yellow. But a couple of weeks ago I noticed it was leaking from the faucet connection. I turned off the water, unscrewed and examined it. Couldn’t see any obvious problem, so cleaned threads on faucet and inside connector with a brush. The little filter-screen washer looked clean, but on a hunch, I removed it and put in a new plain rubber washer, and wrapped nylon plumber’s tape three time around the faucet threads. When it was reconnected, I used channel lock pliers to gently tighten it beyond hand-tightening. When I slowly turned the water back on —not full force, just enough to see the water bubbling out when I put it on manual. No more leak! Still working great, but I’ll have to remove the system for the winter, drain all the parts and put it away until next spring. The lemon tree comes inside on an enclosed porch where I have to watch the temperature all winter. It does freeze here in Central Texas! One more note: I have learned that the best way to store the lemons until I need one is to leave them on the tree indefinitely.
