Introduction: Automatic Indoor/Outdoor Watering Device

About: Employed as chief maintenance engineer, married,
Sorry, at the time of this posting no pictures are available. Follow along and you'll see how this works, and how well it works.


Items Needed:

Pick-up a 45 gallon plastic solution container from any local car wash. Free

Pick-up a aquarium POWER HEAD. $20.00's ( 2-3psi output)

Pick-up a 110v appliance timer  $8-15.00's

25', 50' or whatever length of 1/4" air line tubing. $5-12.00's

1, 3-4-5-6 way gang valve from pet supply. $5-9,00's


1. Silicone the power-head flow-port closed and leave air-line port open for airline tubing.

2. Attach power head to bottom inside of container.

3. Thread tubing (water-tight seal) from power head thru container-wall and attach to gang valve.

4. Thread power-head cord thru top of container and plug into appliance timer, don't forget to set times for irrigation on timer after trial and error due to individual container watering needs. 

5. Adjust gang valve to achieve best results...

(NOTE :) Your main solution container can be placed outdoors to collect nutrient fresh rainwater from gutter-downspout by cutting a opening on the side of collection container/reservoir then add your wife’s nylon anklet to end for filtering of debris, run tubing thru house wall, to gang valve and finally to plant containers.

What could be simpler you might ask?
A complete solar (Green) system.
