1Pot is the modular AutoPot Watering System that enables household gardeners and commercial growers alike to achieve incredible yields from their plants. Whether in the home, the garden, the greenhouse or poly-tunnel the 1Pot will extend to create a system of unlimited scale thanks to its modular design. 1Pot Systems are flexible even when set up and modules can be moved to suit the changing needs of the grower and their plants.
As with all AutoPot Watering Systems 1Pot utilises AQUAvalve technology for the simple, efficient, low maintenance feeding and watering of edible or ornamental plants. Once assembled, the reservoir is filled with water and liquid fertiliser (if required), the 1Pot System will completely take care of all your plant’s feeding requirements, providing them with fresh, balanced feed throughout their entire life cycle.
1Pot System includes:
1x 47ltr tank, lid & 9mm or 6mm top hat grommet
1x 9mm or 6mm golf filter
1x 1Pot tray, lid & 9mm or 6mm top hat grommet
1x 15ltr pot
1x 9mm or 6mm inline tap
1x AQUAvalve5 or standard 6mm valve
1x 1.5 metres of 9mm or 6mm pipe
1x marix disc
1x root control disc
• Always use a filter with your reservoir, check filters once a week and clean if necessary - especially if using organics / if in a poor water area.
• Wash filter material in mild soap and lukewarm water or in dilute hydrogen peroxide
• Once disassembled the filter bodies can be washed in mild soap and lukewarm water, in dilute hydrogen peroxide, or in a dishwasher
• Depending on the condition of your filter replace every 5 yrs. Golf Filters feature a replaceable material available separately from AutoPot.
• Utilise the flush taps at the ends of the pipework to help keep the system clean and free of sediment. To do so open each tap into a bucket
or similar for 30 secs-1 min. Do this once a week if using mineral nutrient. Ideally undertake once you have re-filled your reservoir and
allowed it to settle for an hour. A full reservoir provides you with the maximum pressure to flush.
• AutoPot only supply and only recommend official AutoPot-branded fittings for use with AutoPot Watering Systems.
• Dip the end of your pipe in hot water before connecting to fittings. This will soften the pipe and allow you to connect fittings with ease.
• When disassembling the system dip the still-connected fitting and pipe in hot water to ease seaparation.
• If using mineral additives or organics in a larger system you may wish to use a line cleaner such as D-Block, Drip Clean or Keep It Clean. With
regular plain water flushing this should not be absolutely necessary but remains an option if desired.
• Always clean the side and bottom of each pot before you place in the tray, this will remove any soil particles and ensure your system is
clean. In turn ensuring your AQUAvalve is kept clean and free of growing media - especially if growing with Perlite.
• The 15L pots used in the 1Pot module and the 8.5L pots used in the easy2grow module are interchangeable and can be used in either tray.
• Don’t place trays on cold concrete floors, water in the tray will be chilled from below and will effect plant growth. Consider placing polystyrene, cardboard under each tray to ensure the water temperature in the tray is not affected. Always ensure trays are level.
