Agromato AM-22096: Automatic Drip Watering for Indoor Plants — No Tap Required

Most garden timers need a tap connection. Most drip systems need a plumber. The Agromato AM-22096 Indoor Drip Irrigation Controller needs neither. This self-contained device comes with its own built-in pump, draws water from any bucket or reservoir, and automatically waters up to 10 plants on a fully programmable schedule.

If you have a shelf of indoor plants, a grow tent, a balcony setup with no tap nearby, or plants in a room far from any water source — the AM-22096 is the solution.

What Is the Agromato AM-22096?

The AM-22096 is a battery-powered drip irrigation controller with a built-in diaphragm pump. Place the inlet tube into any water source — a bucket, drum, or reservoir — connect up to 10 individual drip stakes via 1/4" PE tubing, and select one of 17 preset watering programs by rotating the knob. The controller handles everything automatically from that point.

No tap. No plumber. No Wi-Fi. Just plug-and-water.

Who Should Buy This?

The AM-22096 is best suited for indoor plant enthusiasts, urban growers, and anyone managing a collection of potted plants without easy tap access. It's particularly useful during extended travel — set your schedule before you leave, fill the reservoir, and your plants will be watered reliably for days without intervention.

It also works outdoors on a balcony or in a shed — anywhere a tap connection is inconvenient or impossible.

Important: Use Only NiMH Batteries

The AM-22096 requires 4× 1.2V AA NiMH rechargeable batteries. Standard 1.5V dry-cell AA batteries will damage the pump and controller. The included batteries are the correct type — use only compatible NiMH replacements.
