The Autopot 1 Pot system, is possibly the simplest, and most economical system that automatically waters your plants. The 1 Pot System is easily extended so many pots can be linked to a single tank.
The Autopot 1 Pot system is a single plant growing module that only requires the addition of a header tank to make a completely functioning automatic plant watering system. Nutrient solution is provided by gravity from the header tank (available here) via 9mm pipe. The 9mm pipe is connected to the AQUAvalve which sits in the Autopot Tray.
When set up the AQUAvalve automatically opens and fills the bottom of the tray to a shallow depth of about 20mm and then switches off the flow of nutrient to the tray. The nutrient solution in the Autopot tray is then drawn up via capillary action into the growing media contained in a 15 litre Pot, watering your plants.
The AQUAvalve remains shut until the nutrient solution in the bottom of the tray has been used up, once empty the AQUAvalve opens again allows the tray to be filled with nutrient solution again from the header tank. The AQUAvalve operates when necessary, increasing the frequency of the watering as the plants needs increase.
A Marix Disc at the bottom of the pot prevents the growing media from falling out of the bottom of the pot, while a Root Control Disc in the bottom of the tray prevents roots from growing out of the bottom of the pot and blocking the AQUAvalve.
