That would probably work for most.
But me? I'd be soaking everything (including lights /fans / carpet) in the closet.
Plus, running a garden hose thru the house may not be very stealth, nor would it get me a Happy Meal from the wife.
Right now I'm using a sorta modified automatic transmission fluid funnel.
2 Probs though. Easy to blow a hole in the soil w/ water hitting (and getting harder to see). Other is, it's a back breaker (spinal injury here). Bending over trying to reach the funnel when it's in the back sux.
I'd love to go Hydro. But the power failures are too frequent and long termed at times around here.

How about drip irrigation?? You can hook the mainline tubing into a bucket, with a standard hydro-bucket fitting turn off valve. Have the mainlines snaked around, with few drip emiters inside each pot. Gravity feed will provide sufficient pressure... just go with higher GPM emmitters to compensate for the lower pressure... or no emmitters at all, just a length of 1/4" drip tubing with no emitter.
Or you could fit a garden hose onto the bucket, and use the SMALLER Dramm water breaker, the slim sized low pressure 170 model. Gravity should provide enough pressure to get your watering done.

I got mine a lowes for 15 dollars. Just buy a water breaker head. Mine was 2 dollars. Gota change the clear tubing to black tubing, 3/4in exterior diameter.

Get a water pump, however long of a 1/2 inch hose you want ($.40 a foot) and get a wand. It'll cost you no more than $30...attach the hose to the pump and the other end to the wand (which is usually about 3 feet long....

!12 v. DC Rule Submersable with the feeders.
One step short of hydro.
Hell yes! You got me thinking!
The biggie is I've thought Hydro. But, we have too frequent & long power failures. Could run everything off a Marine battery (Pump, fans, airstones, etc.) only the light would be missing in a blackout. Still, increases survival rate with a hydro. It could be a step in that direction?
Thanks!

maybe try using a PVC pipe. maybe 3-4 feet long. get a thicker pipe so it doesnt bend. put the end of the pipe in the soil, put the funnel into the other end of PVC. pour water into the funnel, and it will flow down to the soil. its also pretty easy to move it from plant to plant.
the water may be flowing pretty fast though haha
