Know before you buy
No, the system is entirely gravity-fed. It relies on the AQUAvalve5 to regulate water flow, meaning you don't need pumps, timers, or electricity to keep your plants hydrated.
For optimal results, use a mix of 50% perlite or clay pebbles and 50% soil or coco coir. This chunky, well-draining blend ensures the roots receive the right balance of moisture and oxygen.
Yes, the system is designed to be modular. You can easily add more 1Pot XL units to your existing reservoir setup as your garden grows or your space requirements change.
The large 6.6-gallon capacity is ideal for vining plants and crops with extensive root systems, such as tomatoes, peppers, or large ornamental plants that require more room to thrive.
While the module includes the pot, tray, and necessary connectors, you will need to provide your own 1/2-inch vinyl tubing for the main feed line and a reservoir to hold your water and nutrient solution.
The AQUAvalve5 acts as a float switch that opens to allow water into the tray when the level drops and closes once it reaches a specific depth. This cycle ensures your plants are watered on demand without ever sitting in stagnant water.
