Tips
Irrigate larger trays using multiple CocoMats
and Root Control Sheets! Larger CocoMats are
also available, see www.autopot.co.uk for more
information
If you are using raised pots, such as terracotta
pots, a small length of capillary matting (not
included) can be cut and pushed inside the hole at
the bottom of the raised pot. The capillary matting
will act as a wick.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Material: Natural coconut coir (washed and buffered) & natural latex
EC: 1.0 pH: 7
CONTENTS
1x CocoMat
1x Root Control Sheet
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Place the CocoMat in the tray. Place the root control sheet on top of the CocoMat – gold face up
Now place small pots or seed trays on the surface of the root control sheet. Ensure that the pots / seed tray is flat based and allows the growing media to
make contact with the surface of the root control sheet.
Water through each seed cell or pot once from the top to ensure that the capillary action starts between the surface of the root control sheet and the
media at the bottom of the pot.
Pour water into the tray until the CocoMat is 2/3 submerged
PREPARATION
Submerge the CocoMat in water for a minimum of 2 hrs, but ideally up to a maximum of 24 hrs. Submerge the root control sheet in water for 30 minutes
Cut a section out of one corner of the CocoMat using heavy duty
scissors, this is to allow a space for the AQUAvalve and AQUAvalve
cover to sit on the tray.
Cut a section out of the root control sheet to allow access to the
AQUAvalve and AQUAvalve cover.
Place the CocoMat in the tray, place the root control sheet on top of the
CocoMat – gold face up.
Place the AQUAvalve and AQUAvalve cover on the surface of the tray in
the space that you have cut out.
Now place small pots or seed trays on the surface of the root control
sheet. Ensure that the pots / seed tray is flat based and allows the
growing media to make contact with the surface of the root control
sheet.

Water through each seed cell or pot once from the top to ensure that the capillary action starts between the surface of the root control sheet and the
media at the bottom of the pot.
Now connect your AQUAvalve to your reservoir, fill the reservoir with water and add nutrients, if required.
