The convenience the gardena water distributor gives in my poly tunnel makes it worth every penny. In conjunction with the water timer, and a drip feed watering system, i can ensure that each channel gives a different time for watering according to the needs of each bed. I can go away for the weekends and even on holiday, secure in the knowledge that when i return my precious veg, flowers and fruit plants will be watered and happily growing. The only issue i have found is when there is a fluctuation in water pressure (which happens occasionally in my area) it can confuse the distributor and it can jump a timer period, so it has to be checked every now and then to make sure everything is in sync. My wife was very skeptical as i was installing this "high tec" gadget, but even she has come around! Highly recommended.

I’m about to pack this divide up and take it back to the shop. it’s basically rubbish. It is a mechanical stepper device that moves the pass through hole onwards by a step each time it cycles. Sort of like those retracting pens with the spring loaded button on the end. it has no capacity to return itself to the start position if you do a manual water of a zone. So if you manually water eg. zone 2 - at the end it steps to zone 5 3 and stops there. You have to manually go out and step by step it through back through zone 3 then zone 4 then 5 then 6 then to zone 1 for the next automatic watering the next day. That’s rubbish. Secondly, I have only 5 zones attached. it will not automatically step from zone 5 to zone 1 at the end of the cycle. it stops at zone 6 because there is no pressure cycle to step it through zone 6 back to zone 1. This extremely expensive device is worse then some of the cheap chinese timers I’ve had.
