I am a University of Florida master gardener and have experience using the microirrigation system at our county extension demonstration gardens. I have been wanting to do my own flower beds at home but just couldn't seem to get started. This system was a perfect starter setup that I can easily add on to at any time. The instruction were very helpful as far as layout and design. Even without the experience I feel as though anyone could set up this system. Sue

This raindrip sprinkler kit was a bit disappointing. The so called manual it came with was more of a basic non-descriptive overview of having a sprinkler system. It did not come with a manual of how to set the system up for beginners, how each part fit together, even an inventory list and which sprinkler head was the 180 degree and which was the 90 degree sprinkler heads, I just tried them and figured it out later. Also, make sure you are absolutely sure you have the hose going on the right sprinkler because the sprinkler/hose connections are flimsy and easy to break, which I have already done. It is a good system after trying to figure out what to do, but I will probably look at another brand next time. The Raindrip drip kit is a better quality and has a very descriptive booklet of how to set it up. I recommend instead to get that then order separately the sprinkler heads and steaks and institute them into the drip system instead. I did that and it turned out better for me and now have semi maintenance-free front landscape.

This is the second system I have purchased. They work wonderfully. My first one is four years old and still in great condition.

Purchased for my wife. She originally bought this system from Lowes for her Garden, and loved how well it works.When she expanded her Garden she needed another system, but Lowes was out of them, so i ordered from Amazon.She wouldn't settle for any other Brand or system. She feels it's the best system available,especially for the price.

Raindrip Low-Flow Sprinkler Kit #R547DP DID NOT include instructions inside the package. Instructions printed on the box were covered by the shipping label. When the label was removed, the instructions were not readable. A search of the shippers website presented the instructions in PDF format. However, this was a picture of the instructions on the box and it was blurry (again not readable).

This product was super ez to setup. Did exactly as advertised with a minimum of fuss. Word of advice pick up a few extra connector pieces for the 1/4 to 1/2 inch connection. completely satisfied with product.

This kit is much better than I thought. I was thinking it may be weak watering or sprays inconsistent. Bought this kit a Lowes and it was on sale for 26 bucks. They have everything you need for an area around 300 sq ft. It saves a lot of time trying to figure out all the stuff you need especially because you need backflow valves, pressure reducers, and all kinds of little parts for sprinklers and lines. It is an easy kit to install. Just looking at the parts you can figure out how it works. Simple and common sense to install. The sprinklers are very good. You can fine tune the spray very well and control the area being watered. The spray is a light spray but will water plenty. Extra parts seem reasonable but can add up when getting a lot of extra sprinklers.

Some small gripes. One of the hose attachments leaked like crazy so I had to use another one. Also, my kit was missing some parts. I didn't have a 90 degree coupling in the kit so I had to go back to the store to buy it. It would of been good to include stakes to hold the line in place because the main hose lines most definitely need to be anchored down.

I don't know the longevity of the kit. However, if the sprinklers are in an area not to be kicked or broke from the hose they look fine. All in all it is a great kit cause it saves time in figuring out all the company's specific parts for installs especially if you don't install them every day.

I have not had an opportunity to use the sprinkler system as it will not be set up until next spring. I have used three Raindrip drip systems this last summer and I am very satisfied with the Raindrip product. That is the reason I bought the sprinkler system.
