Finally set up the RainPoint 153.

First thing I noticed – the screen is actually big. No squinting.

Super easy to install. No tools. Just push the tube in. Took a few minutes.

My plant corner is on autopilot now. Love it.

How many plants are you running with this? I have like 12 and wondering if one pump is enough.

Does it work with tap water or do I need filtered? My tap water is kinda hard.

I watered 15 pots. I watered them at a slower rate, and it was sufficient.

There is an impurity filter screen. Tap water is fine, no additional filtration is required.
