AutoPot Flexitank 225L

Product detailed description

AutoPot Flexitank 225 l - tank for up to 12 pots

A growing setup needs a larger water reserve and longer intervals between refills. AutoPot Flexitank 225 l is a foldable tank for irrigation water or rainwater for larger domestic and semi-commercial AutoPot setups. Assembly is tool-free and the tank folds away after the season.

What is Flexitank

AutoPot Flexitank is a foldable reservoir for irrigation water or rainwater for AutoPot self-watering systems. You can assemble it in a few minutes without tools and fold it away just as easily again - that is why it is easy to store and transport. The tank is made of durable plastic reinforced with bars inserted into the seams, has a drain valve in the lower part compatible with standard hoses, and a lockable zip lid at the top that protects the water from light and dirt, thereby limiting algae growth.

How Flexitank works with the AutoPot system

Flexitank is the reservoir for the whole setup. Place the filled tank on a flat and smooth surface so the plastic is not damaged, and at least 150 mm above the highest AQUAvalve - gravity then takes care of the irrigation distribution itself, without a pump, electricity or a timer. You can connect Flexitank directly to the 16 mm distribution for 1Pot, 1Pot XL, Easy2Grow and tray systems, and to the 9 mm distribution with AQUAvalve5 via a 16-9 mm reducer. Monitor the water level and top up when it drops to roughly 1/3; never let it dry out completely.

For what size setup

The 225 l capacity comfortably supplies around 12 1Pot pots - for example 1Pot for 12 pots or 1Pot XL for 12 pots; with smaller Easy2Grow pots it can handle 16 to 24 pieces. The capacity overview is in the Flexitank category.

Dimensions and specifications

Maintenance and warranty

Store the tank clean and dry. At the end of the season, rinse it out, especially if you have added fertilisers to the irrigation water - this will reduce deposits and algae growth. Keep the zip lid closed so that dirt and light do not get into the solution. The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty for manufacturing defects.

Connection and accessories

To close the outlet, the tap for Flexitank is suitable, for connecting the distribution the male quick connector and the mounting plug. To connect the 9 mm distribution with the AQUAvalve5 valve, use the 16-9 mm reducer with filter. The full range of tanks is covered by the Flexitank category.

Frequently asked questions

How high should the tank stand?

At least 150 mm above the highest AQUAvalve valve. This gradient ensures that the irrigation water flows into the trays by gravity alone, without a pump or electricity.

When should the tank be refilled?

As soon as the level drops to roughly one third of the capacity. Never let the tank dry out completely so that air is not drawn into the distribution.
