Advice
• Please note that multiple SmartPots may increase room hummidity 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 7 to 10 days before
turning your system on. This will encourage a stronger and healthier root system.
• Always raise your tank to a minimum of 150mm above the highest AQUAvalve and re-fill the tank when there is
approximately a 1/3 of the solution left - NEVER ALLOW THE TANK TO RUN EMPTY.
• For best results, we recommend mineral fertilisers. Do not use organic fertilisers, as they have a tendency to block
small pipe work.
• Clean all substrate from the bottom and sides of the pots before placing in each tray. This will ensure your system is
clean from the start.
• Always use free draining substrates, for example: soil/perlite, coco/perlite, soil/clay pebbles, coco/clay pebbles,
rockwool/clay pebbles.
