Set-up Guidelines

Ensuring that the AQUAvalve floods

and drains correctly

Care and maintenance

Making sure your AQUAvalve ﬂoods and

drains correctly is simply achieved and

only takes a few seconds.

Hold the AQUAvalve at eye level so that

you can see the silicon ﬁtted to the top ﬂoat

resting on the hole below it.

The silicon must create a tight seal when

touching the hole.

If it looks like it is not sitting parallel on the

hole below, simply lift the top ﬂoat and

apply pressure to one side of the silicon,

drop the ﬂoat and hold at eye level again.

Repeat the procedure if necessary.

At the end of your growing season, clean

the AQUAvalve using warm soapy water.

Using an old tooth brush will help.

The AQUAvalve is easily disassembled.

The top ﬂoat will slide all the way across

and the bottom ﬂoat is unclipped from its

pivoting position. The circular discs ﬁtted to

the top ﬂoat can also be removed by using

pliers to grip the raised point.

At this point is it advisable to remove the

silicones to avoid them being lost.

It is also handy to have a paper clip or

pipe cleaner to hand so that you can push

it through the AQUAvalve nozzle, this will

remove any lime scale build up that may

have occurred during the growing season.

Blowing through the AQUAvalve nozzle will

also help to remove any build up. Do not

under any circumstances use a drill & drill

bit to clear the AQUAvalve nozzle.

This will potentially damage the

AQUAvalve beyond repair.

Advice

• 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 reservoir to a minimum of 150mm 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.

• For best results, we recommend mineral fertilisers. Do not use liquid 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.

Remove any slack

from 6mm pipe by

drawing excess pipe

out of the tray.

Ensure that the circular

spirit level indicates

the tray is level,

adjust if required.

Cut 6mm pipe to

appropriate length.

Connect via 6mm

/ 16mm ﬁttings to a

ﬁlter (not included).

Connect ﬁlter to

reservoir. Leave tap off.

Make sure the

system is clean and

free of debris.

Place the lid on top

of the tray. Insert the

pots. Place the round

blue access cover

over the valve.
