1.0 out of 5 stars Defective design, August 5, 2009

I encountered 2 problems installing the kit. The first is that the 3/4" Hose Swivel Connector leaks between the threaded connector and the compression adapter. The second is that the 3/4" Hose to Pipe Thread Anti-Siphon Connector does not properly compress the water hose's threaded connector to the hose adapter. This causes a leak between the hose connector and adapter. I have the highest quality hose, and it does not leak when connected to an ordinary faucet. The kit is unusable.

I have had this system in place for 2 seasons now and has worked flawlessly.

I have it on a timer and I did have the attachment to the hose crack once. I jerry rigged a new attachment from parts from Walmart.

Otherwise it has worked great. No complaints. I have about individual 15 plants on the base system (Bonsai trees, ferns, topiary).

We are in North Carolina, so it hasn't been exposed to extremely cold conditions. Freezing yes, but not very often.
