Autopot Easy2Grow Accessory Box for 24 pots (Aquavalve5)

Product detailed description

AutoPot Easy2grow Accessory Box for 24 plants - connection material only

Easy2grow Accessory Box contains complete connection and distribution material with AQUAvalve5 valves for connecting 24 plants. The pack does not include a tank, trays or pots - it is suitable if you already have square 8.5l pots, two per one valve (square), and want to expand the system or convert an older system to AQUAvalve5 with 9mm distribution. It serves twenty-four plants from one tank.

How the irrigation works

Each pot is served by an AQUAvalve5 valve. After connection to the tank, 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 does not use up the water in the tray, AQUAvalve5 does not allow replenishment, so the plant goes through a wet and dry cycle that supports healthy roots. After the tray empties, the process repeats.

Distribution and hose diameters

The distribution is in AQUAvalve5 design: 9mm hose (outer 9 / inner 7 mm) to the valves and 16mm hose (outer 16 / inner 13 mm) as the backbone with a 16-9 mm reducer. Expect section splitting and a longer backbone.

For the 24-plant set-up, run a 16mm backbone distribution from the tank and reduce it to 9 mm to the individual valves - the backbone maintains pressure and flow over longer distances.

Who the box is for

A medium set-up for a larger tent or greenhouse. Parts in one pack = fewer orders and a lower price per plant.

What to add to the box

The box belongs to the Easy2grow system (you can find the set-up for this number as a ready-made Easy2grow system). Missing a tank? Choose the 400l Flexitank. Add the pots and trays as an 8.5l pot and Easy2grow tray, and find the individual fittings among 9 mm parts and 16 mm.
