Nope - I did the running around and I got a system equivilant to(and in many ways superior to) the Rainmaker I system, which cloudtops sells for $240.



their pump is much noiser than the pump I bought for $114. Their equivalent run-dry pump is $150.



The digital timer they sell for $40 is inferior to the one I bought for $17 - I can program hundreds of on/off events a day.



The hoses are the same, though mine cost twelve cents a foot, compared to .50.



The nozzels are barrs, which are not as easy to mount in a screen cage,but work perfectly. For $20(shipping included) you get 20 feet of tubing, "T" couplings, 3 nozzeles, and a fitting for a hose(which was useless to me).



The $80 pump cloudtops sells is a piston pump that can't run dry, and burns out if it runs too long.



I spent $170 and I ended up with a system equal to(but with a better pump and timer, more fittings, and 3 times the tubing) than the $240 rainmaker I system.

It's slightly more than the Rainmaker jr. system, but far more reliable - and shurflo pumps last forever.



I could even put volitile chemical through this thing with no ill effects.
