Vacation Watering Setup



















































This is a gravity flow system and does not require a pressure regulator or back-flow preventer. Do not attach to your water system without these safety devices!



Battery powered irrigation for potted plants (water tank not shown).

Attaching this system to a rain barrel would be the perfect solution, but the cost is much higher than a trash barrel!!
Materials:
½” Electrical Conduit Which Will Fit Inside Of Hose
Adjustable Drip Emitters (1 for each pot)
6” Stakes (1 for each pot)
¼” Tees (1 for each pot)
¼” Hose (length determined by pot placement)
Hose ‘Y’ Connecter
Double Female Hose Connecter
6 – ¼” Outlet (adjustable)
Garbage can, tote box, or plastic container to hold water, which you can make watertight where the water hose attaches.
