Straight connectors are simply used to connect two pieces of pipe together, allowing for virtually seamless system extension.

9mm or 6mm cross connectors are used to connect three pieces of pipe together. These are useful along with the 9mm or 6mm cross connectors as they provide the user with the ability to create a layout to suit his or her needs.

Top Hat Grommets provide a water tight connection using 9mm or 6mm pipe with the 30 & 47 L plastic reservoirs.

The Top Hat Grommet is positioned at the bottom of the reservoir. All AutoPot 30 & 47 L plastic reservoirs are now supplied drilled and with 9mm Top Hat Grommets.

If fitting a 9mm grommet (for AQUAvalve5) to an existing/non-AutoPot plastic reservoir drill out to 12.5mm diameter.

If fitting a 6mm grommet (for older, pre Aug 2020 AQUAvalves) to an existing/non-AutoPot plastic reservoir drill out to 10mm diameter.

The grommet is then inserted into the hole and a length of 9mm or 6mm pipe (according to the grommet used) is then pushed through the grommet. Push the pipe all the way through the grommet so that you can see the tube protruding inside the reservoir.

Use Module Accessory Packs to upgrade your system to AQUAvalve5 with 9mm and 16-9mm pipe and fittings. An AQUAvalve5 Module Accessory Pack will fit into in your existing module trays perfectly. It includes all the fittings you need to connect to 16mm pipe – even 16-9mm cross and tee connectors.

If connecting directly to the reservoir using 9mm pipe you may also require the new 9mm Top Hat Grommet and 9mm Golf Filter or, if your reservoir has a 16mm outlet, the new 16-9mm click-fit adapter and filter.

Alternatively you can maintain older systems in tip-top condition with 6m and 16-6mm pipe and fittings using a 6mm AQUAvalve Module Accessory Pack.

The AirDome has been designed to increase the amount of air around the root zone in the pot. If you are lucky enough to have power in your greenhouse this little addition can increase yields by up to 130%. It is very simple to use once assembled, which will take less than 30 seconds. The AirDome is placed at the bottom of the pot, covered with the substrate of choice and then connected to an air pump.

Give your plants a lift with AirBase. This handy plate fits into the bottom of your pot during set up and allows you to sidestep the use of a pebble layer for drainage. Whilst simple, cheap, and effective, the preparation, pH balancing, and use of pebbles can be a chore. Simply drop AirBase in instead and you’re away. This essential addition even features a pop-out centre-section allowing for easy, optional integration with AirDome.

AirBase Round will fit our 25 L / 6.6 gal pots and 20 L / 5 gal fabric FlexiPots. A beautifully intuitive and effective innovation, AirBase is fabricated from tough ABS plastic making it highly durable and thus extensively reusable.

The AQUAbox Spyder offers a revolutionary self-watering solution for Grow Your Own enthusiasts. No mains water supply, pumps or timers are required. Simply connect to an existing water barrel to automatically water a 1.2sq/m area.

Positioned directly in the ground the AQUAbox Spyder is ideal for watering conventional beds or the increasingly popular raised beds. A series of capillary wicks fan out from the AQUAbox Spyder distributing water under the soil, across an area of up to 1.2sq/m.

With the AQUAvalve at its core, the AQUAbox Spyder draws on the water supply (water barrel or tank) as required by the plants, ensuring a fantastically efficient use of water. The roots of the plants instinctively head towards the water source, attaching themselves to the capillary wicks below the soil level. The capillary wicks should be changed every growing season.

Extension kits (link to AQUAbox Spyder Extension) are available to allow connection of multiple units to a single water barrel.

The kit is supplied with 2 metres of 9mm pipe and a reducing connector with integral filter, allowing simple connection to a water barrel tap via a section of standard garden hosepipe (not supplied).

A spirit level in the lid of the AQUAbox Spyder ensures that the AQUAbox is level once positioned in the ground.

The AQUAplate kit contains all you need to adapt your existing AutoPot system for hydroponic growing. Assembled in minutes the AQUAplate simply drops into an AutoPot tray. This seamless integration saves time, expense and allows you to grow in our proven irrigation system.

Grow free from substrate

Give plants direct root access to nutrient rich water

Encourage faster, stronger root development

Contains all you need to adapt your existing AutoPot Watering System for AQUAplate growing

AQUAplate simply drops into an AutoPot tray.

Tips:

We recommend a target water temperature of 64-68°F / 18-20°C

Plants grown without substrate need lower doses of nutrient. Start at half strength and gradually increase.

Add an Airstone to the tray for even greater growth acceleration!

The AQUAvalve is supplied with all the AutoPot Watering Systems. Once connected to the water supply the AQUAvalve will control the flow of water to the plants, by simple gravity pressure from a tank or water butt, no pumps, mains water pressure, electricity or timers are required. Once connected to a tank the AQUAvalve will open and allow water to fill the tray to a preset level of 20mm. The AQUAvalve will not refill the tray until all the water has been used allowing the plant to go through a wet & dry cycle. Once all the water has been used by the plants the AQUAvalve will re-open and refill the tray. The AQUAvalve is a simple but very effective watering device and needs to be treated with care. Keep the AQUAvalve and the tray it sits in clean, free of obstructions, soil particles and it will help you water & feed your plants for many years. The AQUAvalve is guaranteed for 12 months.

Grow what you want, when you want, whilst still enjoying the incredible space and maintenance saving benefits of a tray system. Auto8 15ltr comes complete with eight 15ltr square pots but can also house the 8.5ltr variety – available separately. You can interchange at will – no adjustment to the tray is required.

You can cultivate plants at various stages of development in the same tray system. Swap plants in and out with ease as needed. Minimise repotting and the risk of transplant shock.

The principles of Auto9 XL also apply to Auto8. Multiple pots are irrigated in a single tray and lid assembly by a single AQUAvalve5. Footprint is reduced. Fewer lights are needed for more tightly arranged plants. Vertical racking becomes a viable option thanks to reduced maintenance.

Auto8 15ltr is supplied with eight 15ltr solid pots.

Cultivating with Auto8 benefits growers in three key areas:

Growing Space

Maximises the available area

Ideal for moveable racks and rolling tables

Overheads

Draws no more water than 8 single 1Pot trays

Reduction in components = reduced maintenance duties

Plant Health

Unlike a large, single, flat tray the moulded base minimises standing water

Lid blocks light and debris from entering the tray

Minimum Reservoir Requirements

1x Auto8 – FlexiTank / FlexiTank Pro 100ltr

2x Auto8 – FlexiTank / FlexiTank Pro 225ltr
