Universal Kit

Excellent product. Good value for money spent. Easy to set up.

I can't fault the customer service and I like the product, however it is not perfect. The advertised spread of one meter is simply false and really cheeky, as others have said and appear to agree.I have one single sprinkler that reaches 80cm and this is the biggest. It's not a water pressure or positioning issue as I have moved it to a specific plant once I realised it was the best and it's the same. Equally true with the poor ones.Most have a spread of 30-40cm so I was quite disappointed.It's fairly easy and quick to set up. Some of them fell apart and needed WD40 to be put back together before use. I found the hardest part was clipping it up once on the hose.I like that you can choose the position of the sprinklers compared to a soaker hose etc.I combined this with a timer and it does work well. I just wish the 1m spread advertised was reality. Maybe they will improve them in future...

Great system now have it in my front and back garden

Ok so I have a huge garden with long borders over brimming with mature shrubs and everything in between. I also have multiple large vegetable patches. I also have diabolical water pressure!I purchased 12 of these items and a few reels of hose lock supply hose.I have a single garden tap. From this point I have one 150m run going left watering this entire side of my garden. Going right I have another run that hits the right side of my garden which is about a 200m run that encompasses my rose garden that is elevated 10m and my vegetable patch along with more borders.Now when I say my water pressure is bad, it is bad. I purchased the hozelock turbo jet to boost my system and everything works flawlessly.The left run is fine.The right run is too long to water adequately even with the pump so between my rose garden and vegetable patch, about half way, I have split the pipe run. I simply plug and play the different runs at this half way point and everything is fine.All in all if you have a huge garden like mine do not despair. It used to take me 2 hours at time to water all of my borders. Now I simply turn my tap, 15 - 20 minutes then remove one pipe from the pump, push another in and everything is watered.The hozelock kit works excellently but make sure you only use their branded stuff, other makes will leak or not seal properly.The only fault is out of my 120+ drippers, 2 broke whilst installing. Might of been me being a brute or the product but considering everything works as intended I am happy.A lot of people say don’t do a run that is more then 40m, you can go further but you just need either a pump or adequate water pressure.

You need to be very careful not to leave out in frost and if you do take it up for the winter - the chances of exposing the pin puncture is high and therefore difficult to put together again the next summer without leaks. Better to bubble wrap each sprinkler and leave alone. Hozelock generally appalling design for hose attachments which only last about a year I have a big collection! I now no longer buy the attachments as have found a frost proof option.

Got this to irrigate a new hedge. Works fantastically alongside a timer. I love the sprinklers but really hate the little spikes and could not get them to work. More sprinkler heads would be ideal. Hose isn’t very long either so I use two hoses.

Not good. Everything is fine, apart from the universal drippers. They are supposed to have a range of 1m diameter or 50cm in 8 directions. My best has a diameter of about 50cm. Most about 30cm and some don't even leave the dripper itself. The kit advises a pressure test by seeing how long it takes your tap to fill a 10l bucket. Mine overfilled the bucket in 24secs which puts it in the max bracket and therefore should cope with upto 30 drippers so pressure is not the issue. I have taken the drippers apart and improved some by running a 26awg wire down them but the gains were marginal. I then discover there's no option to simply get hozelock to replace the faulty drippers, Amazon/HL only provide the option to send the whole thing back for return or replacment but remember at this stage you have invested time and planning not to mention traipsing around your borders in all the areas you thought you would never go getting it just right only to find the system doesn't work due to not meeting its advertised potential. It's so bad I can't believe Hozelock is unaware given that 0/10 drippers work as advertised. Not wishing to traipse back through my borders I replaced most of the drippers with the jetsprays I had bought which do what they're supposed to do but I will probably pursue Hozelock as this is incredibly irritating from a brand I've always thought highly of.The good news is it is compatible with components from other companies who are a fraction of the cost and actually do what they say... I'm sad to say I wish I had gone cheaper from the outset and saved myself time, money and irritation.Lastly I should make a distinction that if you're using on a veg patch where you don't need the full 1m than you MAY get away with the U. Drippers but for borders/beds definitely not the solution.

Was very excited to try this out and works well in the main, but the sprinkler heads don’t give as good a coverage as promised and one didn’t work at all. They work best in dipper mode so they are doing the job, just not as described sadly.
