AutoPot

AutoPot systems are innovative, gravity-fed irrigation solutions designed to automatically supply water and nutrients to plants without the need for pumps or timers. They are highly efficient and suitable for a variety of growing environments.

How to Make an AutoPot System

1. Select the Appropriate AutoPot Model: Choose between models like the AutoPot XL or AutoPot XXL, depending on your plant size and space requirements.

2. Assemble the Components:

   • Pots and Trays: Place the pots into the corresponding trays.
   • AquaValve: Install the AquaValve in each tray to control water flow.
   • Reservoir: Connect a reservoir, such as the FlexiTank Pro, to supply water and nutrients.

3. Connect the System:

   • Use appropriate tubing to link the reservoir to the AquaValves.
   • Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

4. Fill the Reservoir:

   • Add water and nutrients to the reservoir, following the manufacturer's guidelines.

5. Activate the System:

   • Open the reservoir valve to allow the nutrient solution to flow into the trays.

How to Use AutoPots

• Planting: Place your plants into the pots with suitable growing media.

• Maintenance:

  • Regularly check the water level in the reservoir and refill as needed.
  • Clean the AquaValves periodically to prevent blockages.

• Nutrient Management:

  • Monitor and adjust nutrient concentrations based on plant requirements.

How Does AutoPot Work

The AutoPot system operates on a simple yet effective principle:

• Gravity-Fed Irrigation: The reservoir, positioned above the pots, uses gravity to deliver the nutrient solution to the AquaValves.

• AquaValve Function: The AquaValve controls the flow of the nutrient solution into the trays. When the water level in the tray drops, the AquaValve opens to allow more solution in, maintaining optimal moisture levels for the plants.

By following these steps and understanding the system's operation, growers can effectively utilize AutoPot systems to maintain healthy and productive plants.
