The AutoPot XL Copper PotSock is a high-performance root control solution engineered specifically for the AutoPot XL System and the 20L fabric FlexiPot. It serves as a vital safeguard, preventing aggressive root systems from exiting the pot and obstructing the AQUAvalve, which could otherwise lead to system failure or tray flooding.
Key Features & Benefits
  • Advanced Root Discouragement: Utilising specialized copper-coated technology, the PotSock creates a natural repellent barrier. The metallic surface discourages roots from growing through the fabric, effectively "pruning" them and keeping the root mass contained within the pot.
  • System Reliability: By ensuring roots do not migrate into the module tray, the PotSock protects the functionality of the AQUAvalve. This maintains a consistent wet-and-dry cycle and prevents nutrient delivery interruptions.
  • Optimised for XL Pots: Precision-designed to fit the round base of 25L XL plastic pots and 20L FlexiPots, providing a snug, secure fit that doesn't interfere with capillary action.
  • Durable & Reusable: Manufactured from high-quality, breathable fabric, these socks are built to withstand the humid conditions of a hydroponic tray. While they can be cleaned and reused, it is often recommended to replace them between cycles for maximum hygiene and effectiveness.
  • Essential for Fabric Pots: While plastic pots are less prone to root escape, the PotSock is considered an essential accessory when using Smart Pots or FlexiPots in an AutoPot system to manage air-pruning roots.
Technical Specifications
  • Compatibility: AutoPot XL (Plastic), 20L FlexiPot, 19L Smart Pot.
  • Shape: Round base with vertical side-wall protection.
  • Material: Copper-infused geo-textile fabric.
  • Primary Use: Root containment and valve protection.
Installation Instructions
For maximum efficacy, slide the PotSock over the bottom of your pot before filling it with your growing medium. Ensure the copper-coated side (usually the gold-tinted side) is facing upwards toward the bottom of the pot. Once fitted, place the pot into the XL tray and ensure it is seated flat to allow for proper irrigation.
