No electrical power, no spigots, and up to 20 of your plants get watered automatically for up to 40 days. You can go away on vacation and not worry about hiring someone, or relying on the kindness of friends or family to take care of your plants. I know something always goes wrong when I enlist the help of my brother to take care of my plants when I’m gone - that’s why I don’t trust him with my cats.

You can attach up to 20 drippers to the system’s 32′ PVC hose. The hose runs from the system’s reservoir to your plants and then back again. One dripper, or several for larger plants, is placed in the soil of each plant and it takes care of the plant’s watering.

“A washable polyamide filter removes rust, dirt, and other impurities so drippers wont clog. Four easy-to-set watering programs regulate the 6 1/2 gallon reservoir for 10, 20, 30, or 40 days of operation. The tank is separated from its support base to prevent condensation, and non-slip rubber pads protect table or counter surfaces. Requires one 9-volt battery for one year of use.”
