Autopot 1Pot XL Accessory Box for 8 pots (Aquavalve5)

Product detailed description

AutoPot 1Pot XL Accessory Box for 8 plants - connecting material only

1Pot XL Accessory Box contains complete connecting and distribution material with AQUAvalve5 valves for connecting 8 plants. The pack does not include a reservoir, trays or pots - it is suitable when you already have round 25 l pots (round) and want to expand the system or convert an older system to AQUAvalve5 with 9 mm distribution. You can connect eight modules to one reservoir.

How the irrigation works

Each pot is served by an AQUAvalve5 valve. After connection to the reservoir, the valve opens the supply and lets the tray fill with water to the preset level of 20 mm - by gravity only, without pumps, mains pressure, electricity or timers. As long as the plant has not used the water in the tray, AQUAvalve5 will not allow replenishment, so the plant goes through a wet and dry cycle that supports healthy roots. After the tray is emptied, the process repeats.

Distribution and hose diameters

The distribution is in AQUAvalve5 design: 9 mm hose (outer 9 / inner 7 mm) to the valves and 16 mm hose (outer 16 / inner 13 mm) as the backbone with a 16-9 mm reducer. The distribution can handle even a longer row of pots.

Smaller setups can be handled directly by 9 mm distribution; as the number of pots grows, a 16 mm backbone and reduction to 9 mm at the valves is worthwhile.

Who the box is for

Suitable for home and smaller grow rooms. Assembly is simple and cheaper than buying the parts individually.

What to add to the box

The box belongs to the 1Pot XL system (you can find a setup for this number as a ready-made 1Pot XL system). Missing a reservoir? Choose the 100 l Flexitank. Add pots and trays as a 25 l pot and XL tray, and find individual fittings among 9 mm parts and 16 mm.
