Do not buy! Is good only in the first season

For the past 12 years, I propose me around with a Gardena irrigation system in Gartern. Every year the same thing: A sprinkler is broken, burst the handcuffs, it drips, things go wrong. One might think that this is "normal", with such a costly product family I think this is not! Articles work a maximum of two seasons and then something gets broken and - surprise, surprise - the article does not exist anymore so. Spare parts may be ordered (not a hardware store has this stock) and in doubt MUST neukaufen one because the system was changed completely again and NOTHING is compatible with the old online.

So much for the preface. This sensor fits as EXACTLY the picture. Purchased two years ago. Installation already more than questionable and the construction as well. Where, however, after all, does a season. In the next we had out of despair over the many disorders the whole plant is not in operation and is now in its third season, I try to get things back to work. Result: The sensor had a leaking battery, the acid had attacked the delicate clamping spring in cheap battery compartment, which then broke. A case for further order, but I doubt that I actually get this low as a spare part. Then I am forced again to buy new.
The other was fine. So replace batteries and re-buries properly. The struggle with the humidity sensor was won, he actually showed the status that prevailed. BUT when connected to the Water Computer then: sensor fault. Why no one knows and no one can understand also. But I could piecewise neukaufen again ...

So my conclusion: DO NOT BUY !!! GARDENA Even if the next hardware store lures and it SOOO easy seems that advertising is deceptive. It is a bottomless pit, and only costs nerves. Who really wants to irrigate his garden reasonably should resort to professional system. These are not much more expensive, but worth it for the second year. And please look at times even, everyone will have had similar experiences in one form or another. Here to buy a system that is just an apparent promise Constrain by the manufacturer with the compulsion always re (nachzu) buy.
