It provides water down the tubes, but not in any reliable way--which I assume is why many would buy this pump in the first place.

There should be an easier way to disconnect the tubing from the pump or at least a replaceable part!

I put a plant watering stake on the tube's end (path of least resistance) then working my way past each plant, snipped the tubing and installed a "T" joint that faced the center of each pot and continued to work my way to the last plant

This is an excellent way to ensure your plants are watered while on vacation

Other models appear to have a more logical way to program them

I got this because we are traveling, and it works as it should
