SYSTEM SET-UP
Place your pots in the desired location taking care to place them
evenly and on a level surface. There is enough pipe included in the
kit for the 15L pots to be 50-60cm plant centres and 30L pots at
60-75cm centres.
Examples:
15L 16 pot system – 2 x 2m (50cm centres) or max 2.4 x 2.4m (60cm centres).
30L 16 pot system – 2.4 x 2.4m (60cm centres) or max 3 x 3m (75cm centres).
Pipe lengths between pots:
15L - 50cm plant centres = 45cm
15L - 60cm plant centres = 55cm
30L - 60cm plant centres = 55cm
30L - 75cm plant centres = 70cm

Lay the pots down on their side. Fit the 32mm threaded fittings into
the holes at the bottom of the pots. The rubber washer must be on
the outside. Secure the nut on the inside with the spanner provided.
Tees are used on all pots except for the end of line where elbows
are used.
Measure the distance between the barbed fittings. Taking note of
the maximum pipe lengths, cut and fit the 32mm green pipe.
Place a pair of stands under each pot.
Fit a tee to the header pot. Refer to the bird’s eye images for 2, 3
and 4 row systems. The 48 pot system is a 6 row system. Connect
the header to the pots using 32mm tees & elbows.
Place a drain cover in the bottom of each pot.
Push-fit the pot clips into the slots on the side of the pots.
Push-fit two grommets into each lid and place a lid on every pot.
If you have a 2 row system (4, 6, 8 or 10 pots), the valves with green
taps are screwed directly to the header pot.
For 3, 4 and 6 row systems, screw the valves on to the threaded
tees and elbows as shown. 9, 12, 15, 16 & 18 pot systems use 19mm
threaded tees & elbows, 21 pot systems upwards use 25mm.
