- Prepare Water Source: Place a water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or jug) near your plants. Ensure it is clean and accessible for refills.

5. Emitter Types
The system includes two types of emitters to suit different plant needs:
- Adjustable Drippers: Ideal for plants that prefer less water or precise root watering, such as cacti and succulents. The flow rate can be adjusted.
- 2-in-1 Spray & Drip Emitters: Designed for foliage plants like Pothos and Monstera Deliciosa, these emitters provide both root dripping and a gentle leaf misting effect.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your watering system:
- Clean Filters: Periodically check and clean the water inlet filters to prevent blockages and ensure consistent water flow. Rinse them under running water.
- Inspect Tubing and Emitters: Regularly inspect all tubing and emitters for kinks, blockages, or damage. Clear any debris that may accumulate in the emitters.
- Refill Water Reservoir: Ensure the water reservoir is always adequately filled to prevent the pumps from running dry.
- Store Properly: If storing the system for an extended period, drain all water, clean components, and store in a dry, cool place.
