MIXC 230FT Quick-Connect Drip Irrigation System Kit, Automatic Garden Watering System with 1/4" & 1/2" Fast-Lock Tubing - Adjustable Nozzles & Sprinklers for Garden, Greenhouse, Lawn, Potted Plants

I just finished installing this in my vegetable garden today. The system allowed me to irrigate 8 tomato grow bags and my 6 by 3 raised bed along with several free standing flower pots. I had no Leaks and it was easy to install. I ended up with a large amount of 1/4 inch tubing but ran out of sprinkler heads and 1/2 inch tubing. Instead of buying another kit I am trying to find the parts I ran out of but will buy another kit if I can't find what I need.

Great product and super easy to install.

Quick connects, tubing, and sprinklers (emitters) all work great. The 1/2 inch tubing connectors have failed (popped apart) three times now. While the concept is good the nut that compresses the 1/2" tube on the barb bottoms out before it is tight enough. As a result we have had the 1/2" tube pop out and damaged/killed several hundred dollars worth of plants while we were gone for a few days. Yes, the tubing was installed correctly. We are on a private well and usually have only 55-65 psi so pressure was not the issue. Either the barb is too small or the tubing is too thin or the barb and nut need more taper or something else needs to be done to correct this defect. I am going to use the splitters as provided but try stainless hose clamps rather than the nuts. The only problem with that is the risk of breaking the plastic barb if you tighten too much. I will try to update later.

It works efficiently in my garden and no faults observed

Quick connect is definitely worth getting, its so easy to set up the irrigation system. I wish there was an option for longer 1/2 inch tube and more connect that goes directly to the faucet. Overall, pleased with how many sprinkler it came with and I was able to source additional attachment from Amazon.

I am impressed by its effectiveness.

Got this to replace the barb connector version. Which worked but the fittings were not molded right and did not work properly. Decided to try this one. The quick connect is far better and those parts are not leaking. However, this model uses the same plastic compression fittings for the 1/2in main hose. At first they were fine but after a week they all started leaking. They could not be tightened anymore. I tried on one of them and I stripped the plastic threads. ended up having to buy hose clamps for each one of them. Cost me almost twenty bucks in additional stainless steel clamps but now it is leak free. Plastic compression fittings over a barb for the 1/2in hose is a bad design. This system will work if you buy it but anticipate having to reengineer some aspects of it.

I was nervous about doing it by myself. I’m 71 years old and I had a big area to cover. But it was easy to do easy to snap together and works perfectly.
