- This video shows automatic watering system for your household plants. When you are going for vacation, the biggest problem is who will water the plants. Let see the easiest way to setup the watering system at home within your budget.
Product Links:
1. 18 W Water Pump (ELOVE 18 Watt Submersible Water Pump - 180V-230V):

2. Timer (Blackt Electrotech 230V 24x7 Energy Saving Socket Type Digital Programmable Plastic Electronic Timer):

I have tried different methods such as using wet cotton strips, keeping excessive water below the pot or giving the keys to someone, so that he/she can water the plants (Not good option).
So finally I decided to find the reliable solution.
First idea came to my mind was using solenoid valve, to control the tap water. But many household/flats do not have tap in their balcony, hence this option was eliminated.
Everyone can store the water, so i decided to use water pump to lift the water from the storage and timer to automate the water system.
I personally used this system for complete week, with alternate day watering program and it worked like charm.
You can scale this system for complete month as well, just you need to take bigger storage.

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.
Acha hain video, helpful

What a idea 🎉🎉
Thank you
Good work 👍
Thank you
Thanks a lot.
Welcome
Cool ! Did not know about siphon effect! Thanks #Buddy
I did . So I added a solonoid valve
nice kit,thanks for video, I have a better automatic watering sytem for pots when vacation.
Pls tell me
Good info
Thank you
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 am glad to hear this, Thank you for ur encouraging words
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
Good
Thanks
Wow brother, great idea, everything is so well put through.. thanks to youtube and exceptional creators like you. You deserve much more than this.. thanks again ❤ #likednsubscribed
Thank you so much for your encouraging words
Solenoid valve koun sa hota hein aur kese tap se fit karenge
Accha idea hai, Kam karnay chahiye
Its a working model, plz try and let us know. Thank you
Thank you
Arre bhai idea acha h pr usse aur acha krne k liye pipe ko last se bnd krne ki jrort ni h use tub m daal dijiye wapis pani tub m jayega shi h na
Bucket to manually bharna padega na
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
Ismai vhi problam hai ki flow bn jata hai to motor off krne pr bhi water jata hai mene solonide vale lgaya or chlaya but due to high tds solonide valve khrab ho jata hai
Ab mai daifram vala motor use kr rha or usko sonoff wifi board se control kr rha sonoff board mai timer lgane ke baad wifi off bhi ho to vo rts se control krta hai. Or daifram motor mai water flow stop ho jata hai switch off krne pr or pipe drip irrigation vala use kia jisse long term ke kiye pipe mai gree kai nhi jmega
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. You can use any small plug to close the flow for any one plant.
Regarding RO water, you can use same system you can use RO water in bucket
Man this is genius. I just spent around 4k on an unreliable automatic water timer.
Thank you so much
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.
very nice... for setup of 100 pots... this motor will be suitable??
No, you will need more powerful AC motor
Very Good 👌👌👌😍🌳
Make a Video for Tap Connection, for 15 days or 30 days Timer.
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.
@@DIYBuddy great idea
Hamaare gaav aao.....bina remote ke hariyali dikhaaye apko
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
Hi, thank you for this tutorial, this is very helpful. if i have to connect more sensors? can you please help with an updated schematic?
Thank you. May i know which sensors you wanted to use
@@DIYBuddy Hi Sorry, messaged the wrong group! sorry again
I'm so lazy to water my plants even when I'm at home, now I'll use this method on regular basis 😅
Thank you, plants will thrive !
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
Implemented this at our home, working perfectly. Thank you. @diybuddy
Can we do it by directly connecting the distribution pipe and the timer to a tap.
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! 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
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
Sir isme one havrme one paudheme kiyana littor pani girega isame dripor lagaya to chlenga kya
Yes, you can use drips
Good..I did the same thing to overcome siphon effect.making hole in outlet pipe after water level.
Nice to hear that...
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.
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
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
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.
Suggest any to use from tap water without use of pump for water
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.
@@DIYBuddy can you please suggest any budget friendly valve,
Valve will be dpend upon ur pipe size. I have recommended one 230V 1/2 inch valve, plz check:
www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B089H13C9D/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8#cm_cr_carousel_images_section
Normally valve will be closed, once power provide it will be on.
@@DIYBuddy thanks a lot
Hii idea is good but jab ham vacation pe hoge to electricity power se motor on / off hoga to wo kese work karega
Video main bhi motor electricity pai hi work kar raha hai, hamne sirf timer ke upar motor ko connect kiya hai, taki motor on/off automatically ho.
Good idea Bro. Quick question. If there is power cut during the set time. Will the timer reset after power is back or will it retain the old time set??
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
Amazing man.. You are Gardener or an engineer?
Gardener by passion and engineer by profession
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
Does water not leak from the holes? And if moss catch then how to clean the very narrow tips of the dropping outlets?
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.
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.
Can u make a solution for water like automatic water supply on and off from tap itself,
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.

9W water pump will work with same setup?
Yes sure
What can be used other than empty refill?
Water dripper
You can use proper irrigation setup or hard straws
Will this work for a month
Yes sure, set the program for daily On/Off, it can run for years.... It depends upon how you use set the program
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.
Plz reply
Please refer this short:

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.
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
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.
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 😊
Timer jo maine use kiya tha usme minimum 1 min ka time rakh sakte the, apko aisa timer dhundana padega jisme seconds me time set kar sakte hai
@@DIYBuddy Ok.. thank you dost😊👍 Good job..
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
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?
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
Sir iska minimum set time kitna hai
1Min
@@DIYBuddy ok
How to manage this if one is away from home from for a month or so? Can someone give ideas?
Yes sure, set the program for daily On/Off, it can run for years.... It depends upon how you set the program
@@DIYBuddybut storage water won't be enough for 1 month? Is there a way to automize using direct water supply rather than stored water?
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
Agar lights jati bhi hay to timer bar bar set krne ki jarurat nhi hay, right bro.. Kyuki muze purchase krna hay, but review dekhe uske to kuch log ye bol rahe the
Timer reset nahi hota hai
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?
It depends on pump, with 18w pump around 5 litre water is being discharge in 1 minute
bhai jab koi ghar pe hoga hee nahi to pump ko on off kaun karega?
Automatically pump on/off karne ke liye hi, hum timer use kar rahe hai
@@DIYBuddy out of city se bhi operate hoga ye?
@@shiprarathor1759 yes sure
Jab light chali jayegi to ye kam nhi krta, time reset krna padta hay
