6.6 gallons per pot, zero electricity, and every plant waters itself
The AutoPot XL System uses gravity and the AQUAvalve5 to deliver water and nutrients from a single reservoir to 6.6-gallon pots with no pumps, no timers, and no power. Each pot gets its own valve and tray, so every plant sets its own wet/dry cycle independently. The round pot base rotates inside the tray, giving you full access to the plant without disconnecting anything. Start with 1 pot and expand to 100 using the same reservoir and pipe run.
- Water every few days, manually, per pot
- Overwatering and underwatering depend on your schedule
- Runoff collects in saucers, needs draining
- Can't leave plants unattended for more than a few days
- Each pot gets different amounts depending on pour speed
- Scaling to more plants means more time hand watering
- AQUAvalve5 fills tray to 1" and shuts off automatically
- Plants control their own wet/dry cycle through the valve
- Zero runoff, water goes up through the root zone and stays
- Leave for days or weeks, just keep the reservoir topped off
- Every pot gets the same delivery from the same reservoir
- Add pots with a tee connector, same pipe run, no extra work
AQUAvalve5 with 5mm inlet 66% larger
The valve's dual-float mechanism fills each tray to exactly 1" of water, then closes. It only reopens after the plant has consumed the entire supply. The 5mm inlet is 66% larger than previous versions, reducing blockages and allowing liquid organic nutrients to flow through the system.
No electricity, no pumps, no timers
The entire system runs on gravity pressure from a reservoir raised at least 6" above the highest AQUAvalve5. No power outlet needed, no pump noise, and no single point of electrical failure.
Rotatable round pot base
The 6.6-gallon round pot sits inside a clam-shaped tray and spins freely. Rotate large plants to access every side for training, inspection, or defoliation without removing the pot from the system.
Expand from 1 pot to 100
Every system uses the same 3/8" pipe and tee connectors. Adding a pot means adding one XL expansion module and cutting in a tee. The reservoir feeds them all from a single line.
Works with any growing medium
Coco, perlite, soil blends, and clay pebbles all work. AutoPot recommends a 50/50 coco-perlite mix for best results. Heavier mixes benefit from adding an AirDome for extra root zone oxygen.
Up to 50% water and nutrient savings 50%
Bottom feeding means zero runoff. Water wicks upward through the medium and stays in the root zone until the plant uses it. Nothing drains out the bottom, nothing evaporates from the tray.
How the system works
Connect the reservoir
Attach the filter and inline tap to your reservoir (hard tank or FlexiTank). Run 3/8" pipe from the reservoir to your first pot, then tee off to additional pots. Raise the reservoir at least 6" above your highest AQUAvalve5.
Fill the pots with medium
Place a Root Control Disc at the bottom of each 6.6-gallon pot (or an AirBase if using AirDomes). Fill with your chosen medium. A 50/50 coco-perlite blend is the standard recommendation. For heavier soil mixes, add an AirDome for root zone oxygen.
Hand water for the first 2 to 3 weeks
Top-water your seedlings or clones until roots are established and reaching the bottom third of the pot. Then open the inline tap and let the AQUAvalve5 take over. Do not top-water after this point.
Keep the reservoir topped off
Refill when the reservoir reaches about one-third full. Never let it run completely empty. If the reservoir empties, air enters the lines and the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal, which is the most common cause of system failure.
