AutoPot XL Systems, 1-100 Pots, 6.6 Gallon

AutoPot XL Systems, 1-100 Pots, 6.6 Gallon | Happy Hydro 6.6 gallons per pot, zero electricity, and every plant waters itself The AutoPot XL System uses gravity and the AQUAvalve5 to deliver water and nutrients from a single reservoir to 6.6-gallon pots with no pumps, no timers, and no power. Each pot gets its own valve and tray, so every plant sets its own wet/dry cycle independently. The round pot base rotates inside the tray, giving you full access to the plant without disconnecting anything. Start with 1 pot and expand to 100 using the same reservoir and pipe run. Plant-driven watering No electricity required Up to 50% water savings 1 to 100 pots, one reservoir Free shipping on orders over $49 30-day returns on all orders Serving growers since 2006 Gallery See the XL system in action Side by side Hand watering vs. AutoPot XL Hand watering Water every few days, manually, per pot Overwatering and underwatering depend on your schedule Runoff collects in saucers, needs draining Can't leave plants unattended for more than a few days Each pot gets different amounts depending on pour speed Scaling to more plants means more time hand watering AutoPot XL System AQUAvalve5 fills tray to 1" and shuts off automatically Plants control their own wet/dry cycle through the valve Zero runoff, water goes up through the root zone and stays Leave for days or weeks, just keep the reservoir topped off Every pot gets the same delivery from the same reservoir Add pots with a tee connector, same pipe run, no extra work What makes it different Built around the AQUAvalve5 AQUAvalve5 with 5mm inlet 66% larger The valve's dual-float mechanism fills each tray to exactly 1" of water, then closes. It only reopens after the plant has consumed the entire supply. The 5mm inlet is 66% larger than previous versions, reducing blockages and allowing liquid organic nutrients to flow through the system. No electricity, no pumps, no timers The entire system runs on gravity pressure from a reservoir raised at least 6" above the highest AQUAvalve5. No power outlet needed, no pump noise, and no single point of electrical failure. Rotatable round pot base The 6.6-gallon round pot sits inside a clam-shaped tray and spins freely. Rotate large plants to access every side for training, inspection, or defoliation without removing the pot from the system. Expand from 1 pot to 100 Every system uses the same 3/8" pipe and tee connectors. Adding a pot means adding one XL expansion module and cutting in a tee. The reservoir feeds them all from a single line. Works with any growing medium Coco, perlite, soil blends, and clay pebbles all work. AutoPot recommends a 50/50 coco-perlite mix for best results. Heavier mixes benefit from adding an AirDome for extra root zone oxygen. Up to 50% water and nutrient savings 50% Bottom feeding means zero runoff. Water wicks upward through the medium and stays in the root zone until the plant uses it. Nothing drains out the bottom, nothing evaporates from the tray. Specs System details and dimensions Pot Size 6.6 gallon (25L) round plastic Valve AQUAvalve5, 5mm inlet, 3/8" fittings Pipe Size 3/8" main line, 3/8" to each valve Power Required None (gravity fed only) Reservoir Height Minimum 6" above highest valve Fill Depth 1" per cycle, plant-controlled refill Expandable 1 to 100 pots from a single reservoir Included Root Control Root Control Disc in every pot Download AutoPot Grow Guide (PDF) How the system works 1 Connect the reservoir Attach the filter and inline tap to your reservoir (hard tank or FlexiTank). Run 3/8" pipe from the reservoir to your first pot, then tee off to additional pots. Raise the reservoir at least 6" above your highest AQUAvalve5. 2 Fill the pots with medium Place a Root Control Disc at the bottom of each 6.6-gallon pot (or an AirBase if using AirDomes). Fill with your chosen medium. A 50/50 coco-perlite blend is the standard recommendation. For heavier soil mixes, add an AirDome for root zone oxygen. 3 Hand water for the first 2 to 3 weeks Top-water your seedlings or clones until roots are established and reaching the bottom third of the pot. Then open the inline tap and let the AQUAvalve5 take over. Do not top-water after this point. 4 Keep the reservoir topped off Refill when the reservoir reaches about one-third full. Never let it run completely empty. If the reservoir empties, air enters the lines and the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal, which is the most common cause of system failure.

For a 2x4, start with 2Pot XL. Call or email us: 716-217-0353 / help@happyhydro.com Questions Frequently asked questions I've never used an automatic watering system. Is this hard to set up? No. You connect the pipe from the reservoir to the pots using push-fit connectors, place a pot and tray at each station, and open the tap. There's no wiring, no programming, and no calibration. The AQUAvalve5 handles everything from that point forward. Most people have the system running in under 30 minutes. Can I use organic nutrients in the reservoir? Yes. The AQUAvalve5 and its 3/8" fittings were specifically designed to handle liquid organic nutrients. The wider bore practically eliminates the blockages that plagued the older 1/4" systems. AutoPot recommends using their systems with AQUAvalve5 fittings for constant organic feeding. Earlier model valves with 1/4" pipe cannot handle organics reliably. What's the difference between the standard XL and the PRO version? The PRO version includes an AirBase Round, AirDome Kit, and Propagation Dome for each pot. The AirBase replaces the perlite drainage layer at the bottom of the pot. The AirDome connects to an air pump (sold separately) and pumps oxygen directly into the root zone, which improves nutrient uptake and root development. The Propagation Dome fits over the pot and creates humidity for young plants during establishment. How long can I leave the system unattended? That depends entirely on your reservoir size relative to your pot count and how much your plants are drinking. A single plant on a 12.4-gallon tank in veg can go well over a week. Four large plants in flower on the same tank might need a refill every few days. The rule is simple: never let the reservoir run empty. If air enters the lines, the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal and stop reopening. Why 6.6 gallons instead of the standard 3.9-gallon pot? The XL pot gives roots nearly 70% more volume than the standard 3.9-gallon AutoPot. More root space means larger plants, better nutrient buffering, and less chance of the medium drying out too quickly under intense light. If you're growing in a 4x4 or larger tent and want to maximize plant size, the XL is the right choice. Do I need to pH the water in the reservoir? Yes. Bottom-fed systems don't flush excess salts the way top-watering does, so maintaining proper pH in the reservoir is important. Target 5.8 to 6.2 for coco and hydro media, or 6.0 to 6.5 for soil blends. Check and adjust pH each time you refill. What if my system arrives damaged or defective?
