The FloraCap is a patent pending revolutionary tool for top feeding that also helps eliminate algae. The FloraCap® is designed to give you a more consistent flow rate, even distribution, increased airflow, and stabilization. Fill the cap with water and nutrients by hand or automate with FloraClips. The FloraCap® strategically covers the top of the media allowing the root zones to dry at a more consistent rate and delivering the necessary oxygen your plants need to thrive. Algae disappears, healthy roots fill the medium, and blossoms multiply.

Choosing your FloraCap System Bundle

• 1. Select your plant count per 4'x4' area
• 2. Select your pot type and size
• 3. Select drainage platforms if your chosen pot type supports it
• 4. Select your table size. This will depend on the number of plants you plan to grow.

Step 1: Number of plants in a 4'x4' area

This is the number of plants that will be able to fit in a single 4-foot by 4-foot area in your FloraCap Irrigation system. Choose between 4, 9, 12, and 16. This number will also help determine what pot types and sizes you will be able to use.

Step 2: Pot / Container type and size

Based on your desired plant counter per 4-foot area, there are several different options to choose from. Please Note: If you choose the bundle designed for 6" Rockwool cubes, the wool cubes are NOT INCLUDED

Step 3: Drainage Platforms

The final stage of a successful build is exceptional drainage. The FloraFlex® PotPro™ Platform is designed to ensure proper drainage on any floor. Only certain types of pots and containers are compatible with drainage platforms.

Step 4: Table Size*

The FloraFlex FloraCap Bundles fit into areas of 4'x4'. Selecting your table size will determine how big of a system you will actually have, based on the plant count per 4'x4' area that you selected as your first option.

Systems are designed to be 4 feet wide and have lengths that go up in increments of 4 feet.

*Grow Tray/Tables are NOT INCLUDED with the bundle. Selecting the table size just determines the table you plan to use for the size of system for that bundle.

Quick Disconnect Pipe System (Bubbler Manifold) Installation Steps

Step 1

Lay Brown General Purpose Masking Paper out Center of the table. Front to Back.

Step 2

Evenly space Quick Disconnect Pipe System (QDPS) per 4x4 space.

Step 3

Measure and write down the distance between the start of the table and the first bubbler. (Subtract 1.5” if using 3/4” PVC and 2.5” if using 1” PVC.)

Tip: Push and twist the 16/17mm tubing onto the barb of the pipe fitting until it is secure.

Step 4

Measure and write down the distance between each QDPS. (Add 1.5” to each total when using 3/4” PVC and 2” when using 1” PVC.)

Step 5

Cut PVC pipe to the lengths you now have (steps 3 & 4)

Step 6

WITHOUT gluing the PVC to QDPS connect the PVC pipe to the QDPS. Repeat with all QDPS

Step 7

Cut two additional PVCs for the Air Bleed Valve installation. Cut one length 4". Cut one length 11"

Step 8 - Back of table

Connect the 4” PVC pipe to the outlet of the last QDPS

Step 9

Connect an elbow PVC pipe fitting to the end of the 4” PVC pipe. Have the top of the elbow facing up.

Tip: remove this cap and install a psi gauge here.

Step 10

Connect the 14” PVC (step 7) to the top of the elbow pipe fitting

Step 11

Connect a slip x FPT pipe fitting to the top of the 14” PVC cut.

Step 12

Wrap the threads of the 3/4” Air Bleed Valve with Teflon Tape. Wrap clockwise.

Step 13

Screw the 3/4” Air Bleed Valve in the female threads of the slip x FPT pipe fitting.

Step 14

Go back through using PVC primer and glue to connect all pipe fittings and PVC pipe together.

Tip: When gluing the PVC pipe to the QDPS start with the QDPS laying flat on the table. Insert the PVC pipe and pull the QDPS up so that it is now standing straight.

Step 15

Ensure that glue and primer are applied to the PVC pipe and fitting

Step 16

Place 1 pot/cube in the furthest position away from the bubbler it will be connected to

Step 17

Connect the 1/4” tubing to the QDPS. Roll it out to the pot previously placed (step 16) and cut the tubing

Step 18

Disconnect the 1/4” tubing (step 17) and measure it. Cut all necessary 1/4” tubing to this length.

Tip: Ensure that all 1/4” tubing is cut the same length.

Step 19

Connect 1/4” tubing to all QDPS ports

Tip: If you are not using all the ports of a bubbler. Plug the end of the 1/4” lines with a 1/4” goof plug.
