Manufacturer's Description
Offering effortless watering, the Hozelock Aquapod automatically waters plants and containers and has been specifically designed for 'holiday watering' and the busy gardener alike.

Each Aquapod is equipped with 5 hoses and at the end of each one is a self cleaning pressure regulating dripper. Each hose can be pulled out and rewound independantly to suit the layout of the patio giving maximum flexibility. Should the layout of the patio be changed it only takes two minutes to adjust the Aquapod.

Also suitable for larger patios, extra Aquapods can be added in just 2 minutes with up to nine Aquapods operating from one tap.

Customer Reviews

Great product with one small flaw.
This is an excellent little product which is easy to set up and use.

The drippers deliver a decent amount of water and when used with the timer it gives real peace of mind in the hot weather we're having.

The snag is when you want to use more than the two supplied 'Pods. Hozelock's manual instructs you to simply daisy chain the Aquapod units together using a drip feed from one to link to the next one in the chain. However, the drippers provide a vastly reduced rate of flow which isn't sufficient for the chained Aquapod unit.

The fix is very simple though - just insert a small "T" piece (not supplied by Hozelock) into the main water feed pipes coming from the water tap and supply each pod with it's own main water line from the tap. This cheap and easy amendment to the product gives a constant flow of water from all of the drippers. No idea why Hozelock don't suggest this themselves.

Beware metric taps
This looks a great product - all nicely designed. Its also easy to set up. However, one warning - check before you buy the associated timer that your outdoor tap is 3/4 inch rather than metric (22mm). The sizes are close, but one works with the watering system timer (which I bought), and one needs either an adaptor (yet to find one), or alternatively (local plumbing shop's advice) a new outside tap.

Ideal when you are away
