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.
