The Internal Irrigation Pump Kit RainPoint IK153 is a compact indoor automatic irrigation system with a built-in pump and rechargeable 2000 mAh battery. Designed to support up to 20 plants, it provides adjustable watering duration from 20 seconds to 20 minutes and frequencies from every 8 hours up to once every 30 days. A flow rate of up to 30 l/h and a 3.5" LCD make schedule setup and monitoring straightforward, while Cycle & Soak mode breaks watering into shorter cycles to improve soil absorption.
Advantages
The RainPoint IK153 combines an integrated pump, long-lasting battery operation and an easy-to-read display in a compact housing. Cycle & Soak staging reduces water usage and promotes deeper root watering. The kit includes tubing, drippers and fittings required for immediate setup, and the device can be placed on a flat surface, mounted on a wall or hung on a tank for flexible installation.
Suitable for
- Indoor plant collections and potted plants
- Balcony and patio container gardens
- Small greenhouse irrigation
- Office plants and communal indoor green areas
- Supplementing low-pressure irrigation lines
When it may not be suitable
The IK153 is intended for indoor or sheltered use and for systems serving up to 20 drippers; it is not designed for large-scale outdoor irrigation of lawns or extensive garden beds that require high flow or high pressure. It also requires occasional recharging of the internal battery depending on usage pattern and will not replace a mains-powered irrigation system where continuous high-volume flow is needed.

How to use
Install the main unit on a flat surface, wall bracket or hang it from a water tank using the removable hook. Connect the provided tubing, branch lines, drippers and fittings according to your layout, ensuring the filter and anti-siphon valve are fitted in the feed line. Use the LCD and intuitive controls to set watering duration and frequency or enable Cycle & Soak for staged irrigation. Use the manual mode or set a 24/48/72-hour delay to pause automatic watering without losing programmed schedules. Recharge the unit via the supplied USB cable as needed.
What to consider before purchase
- Number of plants and drippers to ensure compatibility with the 20-plant limit and 30 l/h flow
- Required watering durations and frequencies within the 20 s–20 min and 8 h–30 day ranges
- Placement: indoor or sheltered locations within the 3°C–50°C operating range
- Battery runtime and plan for periodic USB charging
- Compatibility with existing irrigation tubing or need to use included fittings
Usage recommendations
For best results, position drippers close to plant roots, use Cycle & Soak for heavier soils to improve penetration, and check the filter periodically to prevent clogging. If multiple drippers are used, distribute them to keep flow per dripper within the device's output capacity.
