    Hi There…. if you find that there is too much pressure due to the elevation simply close the tap a little on the reservoir to reduce the flow, you should be OK though, ideal pressure is 1-10-psi

    Using the AirDomes will always increase growth as long as a suitable fluffy blend of substrates is used, your suggestion of coco and perlite is good, sorry I can’t comment on the fertiliser as I have never heard of it.

    Hi There ……. they can be used outdoors as long as the substrate is very open and free draining. Purchasing can either be done via the UK site or Otaki in New Zealand

    Hi Tom, Simply just pot the plants up into the inert substrate and you will be fine…… if you really wanted to remove the existing soil you can do this with warm water and carefully but it will shock the plant/s…..it is easier simply to just pot up….. take a look at the potting up guide on the home page.

    Hi Paul,

    The pipe (6mm) is in the fittings section…… However we are now closed due to the virus. In the meantime either use H2O or bleach …… soak pipe for 24 hours or longer and this should make it clean again…… don’t forget to rinse it off throughly before you use.

    Hi Martin, it seems that the many additives are not helping. Would you kindly email your number to mail@autopot.co.uk and someone will call you.

    Hi Sarah, if you are using the AutoPot designed trays you must push the AQUAvalve firmly onto the Tee section in the tray….. it slides into the half moon section on the bottom / back of the AQUAvalve. If you are using the AQUAvalve in a simple garden tray you will need to place an AQUAvalve cover over the AQUAvalve to prevent it from floating.

    Hi Ivik….. All the substrates you suggest will be fine….. just water through once to run off and then let the plant/s establish before you turn on the reservoir….
