•
Please note that multiple FlexiPots may increase room humidity due to the exposed surfaces of the fabric pots.
•
Pot up your plants, water through, then allow your plants to establish in the pots for a period of 10 to 14 days before
turning your system on. This will encourage a stronger and healthier root system.
•
Always raise your reservoir to a minimum of 6" above the highest AQUAvalve and re-fill the reservoir when there is
approximately a 1/3 of the solution left - NEVER ALLOW THE RESERVOIR TO RUN EMPTY.
• With AQUAvalve5 systems mineral or organic fertilisers may be fed via the reservoir and pipework. Organic
fertilisers will require a water pump in the reservoir running for 15 mins every 2 hrs and cleaning of the reservoir,
pump, and filter each time the reservoir empties. Flush pipework with plain water every time the reservoir empties.
•
Clean all substrate from the bottom and sides of the pots before placing in trays to ensure AQUAvalve functionality.
•
Always use free draining substrates, for example: soil/perlite, coco/perlite, soil/clay pebbles, coco/clay pebbles,
rockwool/clay pebbles.
