Product detailed description

AutoPot Flexitank 50 l - small foldable watering tank

Do you want a compact tank for a smaller setup that you can fold away into a box after the season? AutoPot Flexitank 50 l is a foldable reservoir for watering or rainwater for AutoPot systems. You can assemble it without tools in a few minutes, and the tank is easy to store and transport.

What Flexitank is

AutoPot Flexitank is a foldable reservoir for watering 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 compatible with standard hoses in the lower part, 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 level and smooth surface so the plastic is not damaged, and at least 150 mm above the highest AQUAvalve valve - gravity then takes care of the watering distribution itself, without a pump, electricity or a timer. You can connect Flexitank directly to the 16 mm distribution of 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 it up when it drops to roughly 1/3; never let it dry out completely.

For what size setup

A 50 l volume is suitable for smaller setups of roughly two to four plants or as an additional reservoir. When the setup grows, move to Flexitank 100 l. The full range is in the Flexitank category.

Dimensions and parameters

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 watering - this will reduce deposits and algae growth. Keep the zip lid closed so dirt and light do not get into the solution.

Connection and accessories

To close the outlet, the tap for FlexiTank is suitable, for connecting the distribution the mounting quick connector and the mounting blanking plug. To connect the 9 mm distribution with the AQUAvalve5 valve, use the 16-9 mm reducer with filter. The entire 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 watering flows into the trays only by gravity, without a pump or electricity.

When should the tank be topped up?

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