AutoPot AQUAvalve5

AutoPot AQUAvalve5 Instructions

AQUAvalve5 – a 66% Bigger Inlet

The needs of growers are ever-evolving, served by an increasingly diverse range of nutrients. With a 5mm inlet, the new AQUAvalve5 rises to the challenge of delivering the widest range of nutrients in a faster flow for a quicker fill, maximising system efficiency. Maintenance is reduced and the risk of blockages minimised.

Compatibility

AutoPot Watering Systems, System Modules, and Watering Kits are now supplied as standard with the large-bore AQUAvalve5 and with 3/8″, 1/2”-3/8”, and 1/2″ pipework and fittings.

The original AQUAvalve4, the 1/4″ pipework and 1/4″ fittings previously supplied with the AutoPot range are still available as spares, as are 1/2″-1/4″ fittings.

Your existing 1Pot, XL, XL SmartPot, and easy2grow trays, pots and lids will accommodate the new AQUAvalve5, the 3/8″ fittings and 3/8″ pipe. The design of these is unchanged.

Newly sold Tray Systems, AQUAbox Straight, AQUAbox Spyder, and 12.4 gal Tanks are drilled out to accept 3/8″ pipe and fittings.

Your existing Tray System, AQUAbox Straight, and AQUAbox Spyder will fit AQUAvalve5 but will need existing holes drilling out to 12.5mm using a step drill. Use a 3/8″ Grommet and 3/8″ Golf Filter to run 3/8″ pipe required for AQUAvalve5.

Your existing 12.4 gal Tanks need existing holes drilling out to 12.5mm. Use a 3/8″ Grommet and 3/8″ Golf Filter to run 3/8″ pipe required for AQUAvalve5.

FlexiTank and FlexiTank Pro Couplers are unchanged. Only in the event of connecting directly to 3/8″ pipe do they require the new 1/2″-3/8″ Filter and Adapter.

For our newest AQUAvalve, choose AQUAvalve5 for 3/8″ pipe and fittings

Choose AQUAvalve4 to replace older, pre-October 2020 AQUAvalves with 1/4″ pipe and fittings
