Ames True Temper 2397400 Decorative Metal Hose Cart With 100-Foot Hose Capacity Review

Ames True Temper 2397400 Decorative Metal Hose Cart With 100-Foot Hose CapacityI wanted a decorative aluminum hose reel because I'm sick of dealing with plastic reels that end up cracking, bending, and discoloring over time.This one looks really nice, but it's not very stable.The hardware that came with it did not fit well and several of the pieces are wobbly.Only time will tell if its poor stability will effect its durability.

Claber Aquauno Video 2-Cycle Water Timer #8454 Review

Claber Aquauno Video 2-Cycle Water Timer #8454I used the Claber Aquauno Video 2-Cycle Timer this past summer and it worked flawlessly! You can program the timer to water any combination of days of the week.All seven days or one day or any combination of days. It was a mild and rainy summer where I live so I watered once every other day for about 10 minutes in the heat of the afternoon.You can choose to water once per day or twice per day on the days you preselect and the duration of each water period you choose. Very flexible water scheduling. The product is very durable and very waterproof.

Claber 8053 Oasis 4-Program/20 Plant Garden Automatic Drip Watering System Review

Claber 8053 Oasis 4-Program/20 Plant Garden Automatic Drip Watering SystemI bought this device to keep 8 rather larges plants watered while I travel every month. I used two drippers per pot and left plenty of extra tubing between the plants. It worked great, really great. I've had to use it 5x so far and each time it worked perfectly.

I've tried several things in the past including other drip system as well as the 3 different kinds of watering spikes. Not of them worked as well or as easily as the Oasis. Highly recommend this.

Product Description:
Claber's award-winning Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System is the perfect solution for watering your plants when you're away for the holidays, on vacation, or just short on time. Ideal for indoor use, the Oasis provides a consistent, perfectly calibrated amount of water to as many as 20 plants for up to 40 days. And since it operates totally independently of faucets and electrical outlets, you will not need to worry about leaks or electrical problems while you're away.

The award-winning Oasis system offers a practical, elegant solution for watering plants. View larger.
A single, easy-to-understand control panel directs the entire system. View larger.
Features include a low-battery indicator light and water-saving bi-stable solenoid valve. View larger. Award-Winning System Saves Money, Time, and Worry
The Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System received top honors at the 2007 National Hardware Show and was recognized as the Product of the Year by Hardware Retailing magazine.


The system's water distribution tank avoids the problem of leaky faucets, helping to conserve water and prevent moisture damage. And because Oasis is powered by a single 9V battery that provides enough power to operate the system for up to one year, it helps you save money on electricity bills.



20 drippers deliver water to your plants when you're away. View larger. The Claber Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System is easy to install right out of the box--setup takes just minutes. And with its intuitive design that features a single set of controls, the Oasis is a snap to use. Simply place the unit on a sturdy surface that's at least 2-1/2 feet above your tallest pot, insert a 9V battery (not included), install the system's distribution hose and drippers, fill the tank with water and choose your program. It's that easy!


An added bonus, an LED signals when the Oasis is in operation or when the battery is low, so you never have to worry about your plants going without the water they need. One 9V battery will power your system for an entire year.


Large Tank with Electronic Timer and Four Different Watering Programs
The distribution tank has a capacity of 6.6 gallons and features four convenient watering programs: 10, 20, 30, and 40 days. Each program is designed to deliver a perfectly calibrated amount of water to as many as 20 plants, so you can stop worrying about over- or under-watering. And with a built-in electronic timer and water-saving bi-stable solenoid valve, this unique watering system guarantees efficient delivery of water each and every time you use it.


The Oasis precisely measures water to suit your specific needs. Each program waters twice per day, and the amount of water is equally distributed to your plants. The 10-day program delivers 4.05 ounces of water per dripper per day; the 20-day program delivers 2.02 ounces of water per dripper per day; the 30-day program delivers 1.35 ounces of water per dripper per day; and the 40-day program delivers 1.01 ounces of water per dripper per day. Generally speaking, one dripper is sufficient for small and medium plants; two drippers are recommended for larger plants.


Easy Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning the Oasis takes just minutes: simply wipe all of the parts with a damp rag and let dry. The internal water filter can also be treated with a mixture of water and distilled vinegar to eliminate any lime scale.


The Oasis Self-Watering System's small profile allows for easy storage in a closet or cabinet. Preparing the unit for storage is simple: just remove the battery, drain the water from the tank and hose, clean, dry, and store.


The Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System's attractive, modern styling fits well with any décor, and its soft rubber feet keep it secure on any surface and eliminate scratching. To ensure long-lasting use, the Oasis features high-quality materials and construction and is backed by a 2-year warranty.


What's in the Box
Distribution system, 20 drippers, 33-foot circuit hose, and 20 fixing stakes

Claber Automatic Rain Sensor for Aquadue Duplo Water Timer #90915 Review

Claber Automatic Rain Sensor for Aquadue Duplo Water Timer #90915Installation wasn't too fun since the cord is much too short!The sensor needs to be mounted in an unobstructured area for rain, obviously, so it's likely you need to place it on the roof or other high structure.But the cord isn't that long enough enough for a one-story low ceiling mount! I had to add my own wire which was unnecesarily complicated.Manufacturer should've included more cord or at least have left the wires bare with quick twist on plugs at the end.Anyway, seems to work so far.

Claber 2-Way Garden Hose Water Distributor Valve #8589 Review

Claber 2-Way Garden Hose Water Distributor Valve #8589Claber makes high quality products for a market that is flooded with stuff that seems engineered for early obsolescence.In doing this, Claber has moved into a vacuum that was created when another manufacturer of top quality products apparently "threw in the towel" and began to ship sub-par products that look the same as the old but do not last long.I also bought an electronically controlled water valve from Claber.It works perfectly and is easy to operate.It cost twice as much as most competitors' valves, therefore, I fell in the trap and bought competing products.What a mistake that was!I bought one at the local hardware store and was able to return it for a full refund.That one started turning furiously and continuously - without even being turned on - until the batteries were very hot - and had no charge left.The price had been $30 less than at Claber - but add four ruined batteries, two trips to the hardware store, and aggravation and hassle - I figure it cost me as much or more than the Claber even though the hardware store refunded the purchase price.My advice to you:buy from whomever you want - but only if you know from friends or family that their products have high quality, do the job, and last for a few seasons anyhow.Claber fits that bill.

Claber 4-Way Garden Hose Water Distributor Valve #8581 Review

Claber 4-Way Garden Hose Water Distributor Valve #8581No matter how much teflon tape I've placed on this, it continues to leak from the back connected to the main faucet when I leave the water on to a mainline out to my garden and timer.The quick connects stay on for a moment then slip and begin to leak.I yanked them off and threw them away.I much prefer the dials to turn the water on and off, now if I could only get the rear of the thing to quit leaking.

Claber Aquapony Compact 50-Foot Garden Hose Cart #8884 Review

Claber Aquapony Compact 50-Foot Garden Hose Cart #8884This is my first time review for the purchases at Amazon.com.

Delivery was prompt as always with Amazon.com.

Even if it said "completely assembled", there's a few assemblies needed though very simple to follow from the instructions on the box (it doesn't have any separate manual with it).

Unlike some concerns about the faucet connection from the reviews for this company's other product (Claber AquaPass Garden Hose Cassette #8974), the connection was secure enough with standard faucet (US size 5/8 in).

I had a little bit concern with flimsiness of the plastic things but as far as now, no drippings from any parts were observed.

The size of the hose may feel small but if your use is just for a small lawn like mine (front yard at town home) and car wash, it's going to be no problem.

The total weight is so light that even with water full in hose, you need to use both hands to retract hose without tipping it.

The spray nozzle provided needs several trial and error to get the hang of it.
(clockwise twist gets you from 1. off 2. wide cone 3. narrow cone 4. straight,
anticlockwise for the other way)
Once it starts working, you will be happy with it (My kids loved it).

As a whole, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Thanks

Claber 8983 Garden Hose To Sprinkler/Spray Nozzle Quick Connect SetI use this product on my boat, where there is a garden hose connection to supply water to the boat while we're at the dock.It was cumbersome to unscrew the garden hose every time we wanted to leave.With this product, it takes literally two seconds, and better still, I don't even have to shut off the water!As soon as you disconnect, the valve shuts the water off automatically.It never drips, or leaks, and I'm impressed with its durability under constant use.Highly recommended.

Claber 9567 Metal-Jet Pistol Garden Hose Nozzle Review

Claber 9567 Metal-Jet Pistol Garden Hose NozzleVery good product. Very rugged, easy to adjust spray (though a little different from others)built in flow adjustment (separate from spray adjustment). Easy lock. Forget those home center throwaways. It used to be you could get a decent nozzle from Gilmour for example but the stuff they sell at the home centers is junk. I've gone through two of those a season for the last several years. I expect this one to last forever. This nozzle has a metal core and is solidly built. I also purchased a Claber Multi-Jet at the same time. It is more adjustable, but not as sturdy as this one.Both are very good.

Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual Hose Water Timer Review

Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual Hose Water TimerI bought this unit to water two zones of crops. I had not seen any other timers that had dual outputs, and would much prefer the integration of having to only program one unit.This unit did the trick.

I was pleased at the quality construction of the unit.The hose thread went on easily to my spigot with no leaks.I have very strong water pressure of 120psi and this unit is rated to 150psi so no problem there. There are quick releases for the lower portion, which again, is wonderful since you don't have to contort you hand to get on the hoses.

The unit is heavy, so you want to ensure your spigot portion is well supported.failure to support your unit could cause issues down the road.In my case, I had the orbit 4-port manifold attached, and this has a metal frame bracket exactly to do this purpose.

The timer itself has 6 settings, however only 3 can be used for each line.So if you have more than 3x/day water for your zone, this is not the unit for you!Fortunately I only needed 2x a day for each zone.It was a little complex at first to figure out how to program but didn't take long to master.Note the LCD does NOT detach from the housing, at least not easily.

Unit is powered by a 9V battery which supposedly will last a year. I tested by removing the 9V and replacing quickly -- the settings WERE retained, which is a blessing so you don't have to worry about reprogramming each time you put new batteries in.

The unit has a rain-gauge port and I did purchase the rain gauge unit as well.It hasn't rained so I cannot attest to the effectiveness but it was easy to install.

You might also want to know that the valves are smooth turning rather than abrupt -- this means the water cuts off slowly rather than slams the valve shut immediately.Extremely important factor for old homes with piping that hammers when the water valve suddenly closes. Very nice!

Overall, I'm pleased with the unit. It would've been nice if the LCD detached, but other than that I'm happy with it.

Dramm 9 Pattern Revolver Garden Hose Nozzle Review

Dramm 9 Pattern Revolver Garden Hose NozzleI bought one of these Dramm nozzles 3 or 4 years ago at a nursery. Recently it started leaking so I have to replace it, but I must say, it's a very good product overall. The various nozzle options produce a variety of useful sprays. The one for "soaker" puts out a nice, soft, aerated spray that's ideal for watering plants in pots without blasting the dirt around. The "jet" is a really strong blast that's good for cleaning things.

Last weekend I picked up a similar replacement nozzle made by Gilmour at Lowe's. It's a nice looking unit with the same settings as the Dramm, so I figured, why not? When I got it home and put it on the hose, I was shocked at how poorly its spray options compared to the Dramm. The "soaker" stream is much too vigorous (useless for watering potted plants), while the "jet" is wimpy compared to my old Dramm. The only setting on the Gilmour that's the least bit useful is "mist", so I'm returning it to the store and getting another Dramm from Amazon. I had figured if two products from different companies looked about the same and had the same features, they'd perform comparably. I figured wrong.
