Solar drip irrigation with 12 cycles, for 15 pots or planters

This automatic solar irrigation kit waters up to 15 pots or planters with no mains socket or tap, drawing from a bucket, a drum or a rainwater butt. A 6 V, 2 W panel recharges a 1,800 mAh battery, and 12 preset cycles water for 5 to 30 minutes every 12 to 72 hours.

This kit waters 15 points with no mains socket and no tap. A solar panel powers a small pump that draws from the reservoir of your choice and sends the water along a 15 m pipe, branched with T-fittings to 15 drippers that can each be adjusted individually.

☀️ The panel and the battery

The system consists of two modules joined by a cable, which lets you place each one where it suits. The 6 V, 2 W panel, mounted on its stake, goes where the sun falls, facing south for France, with no shadow cast by a tree or wall. The timer-pump unit, meanwhile, goes near the reservoir, which can stay in the shade. The built-in 1,800 mAh battery stores the charge from sunny days and runs the system when the sky clouds over, so your battery life on overcast days depends on its charge. Charge it for 4 to 6 hours in the sun before the very first cycle, otherwise your first watering will be shorter than expected.

🕒 12 preset cycles

You choose from 12 programmes, which combine 4 intervals and 3 watering durations. Every 12 hours or every 24 hours, the pump runs for 5, 15 or 20 minutes; every 48 hours or every 72 hours, it runs for 10, 15 or 30 minutes. Short, frequent cycles suit seedlings and cuttings, whose grow medium must never dry out completely, while long, widely spaced cycles suit Mediterranean plants, which prefer infrequent but thorough watering. The setting of each dripper does the rest: on the same cycle, you give a tomato more than a lavender, which lets you run plants with opposite needs on a single network.

Clear water

Sediment from a rainwater butt ends up in the drippers: draw water from above the bottom.

The filter, rinsed every month

It lifts out of the reservoir and is rinsed in clean water every 2 to 3 weeks, using rainwater.

Pipe with no sharp bends

A sharp kink blocks the flow along the whole line, not just after the kink.

A blocked dripper

Taken apart and rinsed in clean water, it can usually be unblocked without tools.

A bucket with a lid as a balcony reservoir

The kit draws from the reservoir you give it. For a balcony with a few pots, the 10.7 L white food-grade bucket with lid makes a clean reservoir, since its lid limits evaporation and stops leaves and insects from reaching the filter. Before you go away, let the kit run for 2 days on the chosen cycle and measure the drop in level: you will know how many days the bucket lasts, or whether you need to move up to a larger container.

A network sized for pots and planters

The 15 drippers and the pump in this kit cover pots, planters, a balcony, a small greenhouse or a flower bed. Beyond about ten square metres of open ground, you will need several kits or a mains-powered network, because the available pressure no longer keeps up. Count your watering points before ordering, adding up the pots you actually plan to connect rather than the ones you own. For a bed in open ground, a buried irrigation pot suits the need better, with no electronics or pipe.

🧹 Maintenance and overwintering

The suction filter, submerged in the reservoir, needs regular attention, and a dripper that delivers less than its neighbours most often signals that it is clogged. In that case, take out the filter, rinse it in clean water and refit it without forcing it. The anti-siphon valve stops water flowing back into the pump when it stops, and the level sensor, whose 2 probes sit in the reservoir, monitors for low water; fit the short probe higher than the long one. Before the first frosts, bring the controller and its lithium battery indoors, as it copes poorly with prolonged cold, then drain the pipe and the drippers, because water left in a dripper will split it when it freezes. Charge the battery to half capacity before storing it.

🪣 Choosing the reservoir

The reservoir is chosen according to the length of your absence. A 10 to 20 litre bucket suits a weekend for a few pots, while a 100 litre reservoir or a rainwater butt takes over for a longer absence. Place the reservoir in the shade to limit evaporation and algae growth, cover it, and raise it slightly to reduce the pump's suction height. Rainwater is perfectly suitable, provided you filter out the leaves before the reservoir inlet rather than at the pump. On a balcony where the reservoir becomes cumbersome, terracotta ollas buried in the larger planters take over between cycles and lighten the load on the kit. Their installation is described in the article on installing oyas.

🔩 Fitting the pipework

The line is unrolled before any connection is made, laid flat in the sun for half an hour, so that the pipe loses the memory of its coil and lies without kinking. You then work from the reservoir towards the furthest point, inserting a dripper at each pot, and you cut the pipe as you go rather than working out the length in advance. Each tee fitting creates a branch to a dripper. Finally, secure the pipe to the ground or against the planter with clips, because a line that moves ends up pulling out a dripper, and the water then escapes entirely through that point, leaving the others dry. Check the whole line on the first cycle, dripper by dripper, rather than trusting the installation.
