How It Works

The system is a simple-to-use nutrient delivery system. It works through a reservoir that is gravity-fed meaning there is no need for electrical equipment or pumps. The central Aquavalve system distributes the feed to the root systems power-free as and when the plants require it, as each plant controls its own irrigation. Under this system, your plants are given a consistent feed, which assures continual plant development and growth across their life cycle.

How To Use And Assemble SmartPot XL 8 System

Put the circular root control disc at the bottom of the Autopot tray, with the metallic side facing up. Fill the pots with a medium of your choice, it can be soil or coco. Autopots work best with absorbent mediums. Once you have set up your pots and trays - simply fill the reservoir and add nutrients – the system will do the rest providing an efficient and easy way to water your crops.

Tips To Avoid Issues

This will ensure that roots don’t grow into the Aquavalve tray and cause blockages that may obstruct the distribution of nutrient. The black marix discs also help to avoid blockages and should be placed in the bottom of your Autopot containers. The Aquavalve should be cleaned after each grow using warm soapy water and a cloth (can also run liquid oxygen through the system when no plants are growing to clean any algae and bacteria in the system pipes).
