Bosmere L451 Irrigatia C24 Automatic Watering Irrigation System, Solar Powered Plant Waterer

Perfect. Bought this for our rain barrel to irrigate 12 plants in our raised bed. Setup was fairly easy. I had to use the syringe to prime it initially as described in the manual for first start troubleshooting. It is great that it comes as a kit with all necessary pieces. It has worked flawlessly for a few days since. Will update if I have issues.Honestly.... I bought a refurbished model here because I wasn't so sure it would work based on some bad reviews online. Looking back thru them I'm pretty sure a lot of people are buying them expecting something much different and bigger. If you have something like a rain barrel and a small vegetable garden this is awesome. Look at the recommended number of spouts and distance, I'm pretty sure if you exceed it this won't work well. It is well tuned for what they give you.I was really surprised how great this is and how well it works. Im not a review person but this thing made me want to.

I purchased this Bosmere L451 Irrigatia C24 Automatic Watering Irrigation System, Solar Powered Plant Waterer via Amazon and it worked really well for about 2 - 3 months.Code 80 keeps coming up - the machine runs but the system is not letting water go through to the plants.I have called the company at least twice and only got voicemail. My calls and messages have not been returned.It is very disappointing as the excitement of using this device has withered as did my plants.I am hoping that Bosmere will respond satisfactorily to this post.

Like some other reviews, the pump on the unit quit working two-three weeks into use. I emailed the company (in the UK) and a replacement pump was sent with no trouble what-so-ever. We'll have to see the longevity on the replacement pump to see but, the product works as advertised and considering that fact, I would recommend.

Only has one setting ... suck all of the water until its empty whenever the sun is out. I either have a defective unit (which is no longer eligible for return because I bought off-season and just hooked it up now) or this is the worst irrigation system every invented. The pump doesn't have much power either. I have a 2 foot rise and it can't make it up. DON'T BUY!

This was exactly what I was looking for. I built a vegetable garden bed on top of a reservoir of water. I ordered the L451 for the larger solar panel. Up here in the Pacific NW, our direct sunlight can be limited at times. So having the larger panel was a plus. This is my first time,. and LOW maintenance is the desired goal for this garden. Having it's own watering system, My veggies are going crazy! Neighbors are very impressed. The only draw back to this kit is the lack of drippers. I wish they would have giving more. They are propriety to this kit. I had to add extra drippers via Rain Bird. The Rain Bird is set to use 1/4 tubing. this kit comes with slightly small tubing. 5 or 6mm is my guess. so I had to stretch the tubing some to get it to fit Rain Bird drippers. (I used a small bolt and nut. -- contact me if you need help with this) over all I have about 20 drippers, and it's supplying enough drip on level "5" to keep my planting bed of soil moist at all times.

I wanted to love this solar pump. I’ve bought 4 of them in the last 5 years. This summer I went to set them up and discovered out of the 4 only 1 works. I bought new batteries and still they no longer work. We have a short growing season so they were only used for 3 months and after less than 3 years quit working. I ended up buying a small cheap pump for $30 that works every bit as well as these do. If I have to throw it away after one season I’m ahead of the game.

I'm not understanding the negative reviews at all. I bought this 2 years ago and the thing is amazing. I have a small garden (20 plants) and it has been more productive than ever before! In fact, I'm buying a 2nd one this Spring to irrigate some hanging baskets and other flowers around the patio. From time to time you might run into minor issues, but if you read the website and other troubleshooting tips they are easily fixed. For example, my pump wouldn't kick on after being put away for the winter (kept inside). I read some reviews and used the included syringe and sprayed some water into the inlet and poof, it worked like a charm again. I would highly recommend this product if you want to get the most out of your garden!

Literally, for the plants. I ran this from our rain barrel to our hanging baskets. We travel quite a bit, so keeping hanging baskets watered and alive is a challenge every year. This thing solves that problem in spades. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that it works TOO well - the watering frequency is determined by how much sun it gets, and in July/August, this gets so much sun that it could probably run half as often without any trouble. So, my advice is, unless you live in the true desert, place this somewhere that only gets half a day of direct sunlight.The only other thing to be aware of is that the pump isn't quiet. It's not terrible, but you can definitely hear it from 10-20 yards away, including inside the house if it's attached to an exterior wall (maybe this would be better if the wall was wood-frame, rather than brick/masonry).
