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 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.

This Autopot Accessory Pack is designed specifically for use with the SmartPot Module - (C).

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.

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.

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.

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

All AutoPot Watering Systems, Modules and Kits are now supplied with 9mm pipe and fittings suitable for AQUAvalve5.

9mm pipe features co-extruded construction and metre markings for ease of measuring

9mm pipe has an outside diameter of 9mm and an internal diameter of 7mm. The composite and design of the pipe has been chosen to complement the AutoPot range and to ensure that easy connection is achieved and that water flow is at its maximum.

6mm pipe remains available for those running older systems featuring pre-August 2020 AQUAvalves.

Please note that this listing is for a 1.0 metre length

9mm or 6mm in-line taps are a very useful accessory. They can be inserted in-line just after the connection to the 30 or 47 L plastic reservoirs. This allows you to turn off the water supply if you need to undertake any maintenance. They can also be added to the end of a layout so that now and again you can open the tap and allow the lines to be flushed, removing a sediment or lime scale build-up that might occur over time. This will only take a couple of minutes and only needs to be done every couple of weeks.

Please note that this product is sold individually.

The 9mm or 6mm Golf Filter is for use with 30 L & 47 L plastic reservoirs. It is inserted into the pipe end inside the reservoir once the pipe is pushed through the Top Hat Grommet. It can be easily serviced and will float to the top if it comes detached from the tube, this will not happen if you make sure you have pushed the filter firmly into the tube.

End Stops are used to cap the ends of pipework runs. In some instances you may find that you have an end spare, if so simply cap the end by using one of these end stops! Alternatively you can use an in-line tap as this will allow you to flush the lines.

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.

The 1Pot XL System is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of plant types and sizes. Seasonal flowering plants and perennial shrubs thrive and produce an abundance of blooms and foliage because of the unique action of the AQUAvalve, which is designed to allow the plant to go through a wet & dry cycle.

The 1Pot XL System is easily extended so many pots can be linked to a single tank. Please see examples of typical layouts using 9mm pipe or 16mm pipe. The pots & trays can be easily moved at will, if the plants grow too large they can be spaced further apart with ease. Once set up and a tank is filled with water & liquid feed this extremely versatile system will completely take care of all your plants needs.

All you need to do is remember to fill up your tank from time to time.
