To improve this method, place all pots over a peg board, which is placed over a tub or reservoir of some type. Put the pump in there. The water will be recycled which saves the pump from drying out while you are gone. In this way, you keep plants watered for longer without pump failure even though its on a timer. To keep the water from evaporating too much, you put weed fabric between the peg board and reservoir so on hot days, the water won't evaporate as fast. I built one of those in 2008 during a bad drought, and kept my garden alive while everyone else didn't have one. Even on days I could not water, I had water already in the reservoir so I could keep my plants watered and hydrated. I was smart doing that. My neighbors were not happy with me after that. Some reported me for using water when I wasn't supposed to, and they came and looked, and told my neighbors I was in compliance with the restrictions. Oh they were plenty mad. I will teach others how to do this same thing. That way, they too can grow their own food.

Thank you @DIYBuddy I tried the DIY way illustrated in this video to Water the Plants and it worked Wonders. i was on vacation for 2 complete weeks and after i was back my plants are as good as before actually few of them were better.
The Only Problem that i can say with this system is if it could control the TimePeriod of Water flow, with the suggested Adapter it has to be minimum 1 mins, if there were any available in seconds, it would be even better
I think uyae better option hai….agr aapke ghr mein wifi hai ya alexa/google home then….. you can buy a smart plug then you can set a routine for it so that you will can operate it remotely if you are outside the town
Sir Direct tap se automize karne ka koi way hai?? Because stored water wont last for a month...can we replace motor with an electric valve kind of thing and connect to tap with tap always open?? Will that work?
You can use same setup with timer and instead of water pump, use solenoid valve to on/off water flow. Connect solenoid valve to tap and give power supply through timer.

Bro is it possible to set up this in farm where mo electricity is available, .. will it work on battery? If so will, changing the battery using solar panel will it charge?
Good one. Instead of pen refill it's better to use drippers to control to dispense a certain quantity of water for different plants. Different plants need different quantities for instance cacti require very less water and dripper can be set accordingly. Please correct me if I am wrong
Great Video Mere Bhai !!! Please guide - Question 1 - if I want to stop water flow in one plant then what should I do?... Question 2 - Also my plants only take RO water as the Tap water is not good. it is salty. What should I do? Can I attache a RO system to the circuit.
Thank you for your appreciation. I think common inverter would be great option. Besides that you can use 8V pump with 8 Volt Mini UPS. In that case you need to use DC operated timer. Its possible.
It depends upon the discharge of water and time. You can take trial run and check how much water getting consumed for 1 cycle. And calculate water required for week.
Thank you so much. You can use same setup with timer and instead of water pump use solenoid valve to on/off water flow. Connect solenoid valve to tap and give power supply through timer.

Hello, Agar flower pot chota hai, toh ussmein ek minute tak paani nahi chahiye hoga.. toh kya hum issmein sirf 15-20 second ke liye use kar sakte hai kya? Thank you in advance 😊
I had the same idea in mind. I already purchased the timer . Thanks for making the video. I have one question.. how many litres is used with this pump you used... If we run the timer for one minute for 4 days?
Woow.. such a useful idea. I had a question.. I'm planning to go for a vacation for a month. I have 8 pots, if I use the plastic barrel drum for water storage, I won't be able to increase the height of the pots. So, the pots and the barrel's base would be at the same level. will the water completely drains from the storage if the pots are at the base level and when the timer turns off?
Glad to hear that. Its possible. You can setup the system and then check, if siphon effect is taking place then use other method of making hole in pipe at the top of barrel. It will avoid this effect.

Nice setup. One can use smart plug rather than timer for even finer control.
Yes sure you can use smart plug if you have router and internet

For that we need to use different timer which migh be very difficult to set up, if 1 minute is more for you, then you can use less power water pump
Hi bro mujhe ye puchna tha ki , ye jo timer switch hai wo bar bar set karna hota hai ya ek baar karke hum multiple time usko use kar sakte hai
Ek bar apne set kiya to vo automatically run hota hai, bar bar set karne ki jarurat nahi

We can use smart plug which can connect to wifi and then we can control from anywhere in world
Yes you can use smart plug. But i reviewed some smart plug and there are many issues related to connectivity.

what are the results now
Can we do it by directly connecting the distribution pipe and the timer to a tap.

Wyse pump electric me chlrhahe? Then, in that case submerging that is a good idea?
These are submerge pump only, they are designed to operate under water
Does it work?
I doubt the timer will go damaged....
I bought timers for mobile but they spoilt after 2 months
I am using this setup for almost a year without issue, do not use wifi timer use simple timer
Main switch to on hi rhega na ? Usse koi problem to nahi hogi agr 10 din ke liy kahi gy ho to ? Matlb shock ka khatra etc ?
Main switch On rhega, timer automatically on/off hoga. Shock ka koi sawal hi nahi agar wiring achi ho

Hello! What did you use to close off the tubing? Is it possible to melt with and old iron?
Yes you can use the iron or fold the tube at end and clamp it
Thank you so much. I made this system for my home and working perfectly fine.
Glad to hear that !
joints are not leak?
Nope, u can try
I tried this system using water drum. But water flow doesn't stop from pipe when the pump is off.
This is due to siphoned effect, remedies are mentioned in video at 3.34 Min. Plz check again
Timer set krne k bad ye daily usi time ko chalu hoga ya ek bar, muze 2 din me ek bar krna hai to kr shkte hai kya
Yes, you can select the alternate day programme
If light off then this plug reset the time, because their is no storage memory
Timer has small battery which keeps time, date and programs stored even if you are not connected to electricity

Hi, What if I want to water to flow only for 10-15 seconds? Water flow to plants for almost a minute is too much even for big plants.
You have two options:
1. Restrict the flow of water by using dripper
2. Use timer which allows you to set time in seconds
Bro is it possible to set up this in farm where mo electricity is available, .. will it work on battery? If so will, changing the battery using solar panel will it charge?
It depends upon how big your setup is. If your selected motor can run on battery then you can setup this.
How much length of pipe this 18w motor can push? I have around 25 grow bags spanning around 15 ft length
I can not tell you exact motor required but 18w wont be enough for 15ft length
Good one. Instead of pen refill it's better to use drippers to control to dispense a certain quantity of water for different plants. Different plants need different quantities for instance cacti require very less water and dripper can be set accordingly. Please correct me if I am wrong
Yes you are right. We can use small irrigation pipes and drips for proper setup

Solenoid valve koun sa hota hein aur kese tap se fit karenge
I had purchased the motor from tht link. But there is no plug for the motor. How did u get the plug?
Do you mean timer? You will need to purchase the timer separately. Link given in description
Hello! The pump is not available in my country, should I be looking for anything that's 18W?
Pump is necessary, power of pump you can decide as per availability
what if electricity outage at fixed time?
It wont work as time is fixed
@@DIYBuddy Thank you for your response 🙂... will it again work as per scheduled on next working day right?
Thanks for sasta and Jugaadu plan . Any backup plan for no electricity? Will timer work if power cut ? Any battery operated pump ?
Thank you for your appreciation. I think common inverter would be great option. Besides that you can use 8V pump with 8 Volt Mini UPS. In that case you need to use DC operated timer. Its possible.
What if we light goes off will the timer work
Timer willl work, but pump will not run without electricity
@@DIYBuddy I mean for a day electricity is out then next day if it's in then that case it will work
Sure it will work, timer has its own batteries, which will continue its programme
I have small doubt.will a bucket of water is enough for a week?
It depends upon the discharge of water and time. You can take trial run and check how much water getting consumed for 1 cycle. And calculate water required for week.
Sir ek cheez puchni thi agar ghar se kuch din k liye bahar jana ho to fir timer kaise lagayenge ya time kaise set karenge.

You can see in the video water is not getting leaked. I am using this setup for a year still not faced any blockage
@@DIYBuddy Thank you a lot.
very nice... for setup of 100 pots... this motor will be suitable??
No, you will need more powerful AC motor
