AutoPot 8 Pot XL System InstructionsPower Free, Automatic Watering & Irrigation Systems in the USA
AutoPot supplies simple to use automatic watering systems that can be used either as a hydroponic system or as a traditional soil irrigation system. Indoor growing and greenhouse crops can be produced with ease.
The 8Pot & 8Pot XL System is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of plant types and sizes. Seasonal flowering plants and perennial shrubs thrive and produce an abundance of blooms and foliage because of the unique action of the AQUAvalve5, which is designed to allow the plant to go through a wet & dry cycle.
The 8Pot & 8Pot XL System is easily extended so many pots can be linked to a single reservoir. Please see examples of typical layouts using 3/8″ pipe or 1/2” pipe in the image gallery. The pots & trays can be easily moved at will, if the plants grow too large they can be spaced further apart with ease. Once set up and a reservoir is filled with water & liquid feed this extremely versatile system will completely take care of all your plants needs

AutoPot GeoPot
Extremely durable and reusable the G Lite Pots by GeoPot are easily cleaned between uses if desired. Once emptied, they are best left to dry. After a few days, any dust and small roots are easily brushed off. Whilst this level of cleaning is completely sufficient the fabric pot may be machine or tub washed in peroxide in order to sterilize. Do not put fabric pots in a tumble dryer.
A GeoPot XL System contains all you need to set up an automated watering system with fabric pots. The compact size and portability that GeoPot brings to XL means jaw-dropping reductions in shipping costs and much easier storage for stores and growers alike.
As with all of our systems, the GeoPot System is easily extended so many pots can be linked to a single reservoir. The pots and trays can be easily moved at will, if the plants grow too large they can be spaced further apart with ease. Once set up with a water and nutrient-filled reservoir this extremely versatile, gravity-fed system will run automatically. It will completely take care of all your plant's needs without the need for pumps, timers, or intensive maintenance.
New AutoPot XXL
An ingenious enlargement of our ever-popular XL module, the XXL accommodates 9 gal or 13 gal fabric pots. An adaptive collar (available with XXL9 or as a separate) even allows growers to switch between pot sizes as required whilst still using the same tray. XXL9 comes with BPA-free, Lead-free, fabric FlexiPots, XXL13 comes with the same, but slightly larger, 13 gal versions.
Big as they are, these fabric pots allow growers to produce even larger plants than they might otherwise see in equivalent sized plastic pots. Air-pruning, facilitated by the porous pot sidewalls, eliminates root circling and creates a root structure which is vastly superior in feeding your plants. The same pot porosity increases oxygen exchange in the substrate – supercharging growth.
Cultivating big plants, whether one or many, requires time and technique. XXL brings ultra-low maintenance, plant-controlled AQUAvalve5 irrigation into the realm of giant growing – giving you the opportunity and head space to hone your horticultural skills.
As with all AutoPot Watering Systems, XXL operates power-free, without the need for running water, and without pumps or computers to maintain. Immense savings in time, money, and ecology are obvious merits. Such virtues are equaled only by the responsiveness with which plants are fed and watered. The AQUAvalve5s that regulate every module respond exactly to each individual plant’s needs, supplying water and nutrient solution only as and when required, without recirculation or a drop of waste.

Grow Media Guide

We are now successfully trialing the systems without media for aeroponic plant growth.
Which ever substrate you decide to use make sure the blend of substrates are capillary active and have the ability to hold plenty of air within the structure. Some example of 50/50 blends are:
- Soil/Perlite
- Growstones/Coco
- Soil/Clay Pebbles
- Coco/Perlite
- Coco/Clay Pebbles
- Rockwool/Clay Pebbles
