AutoPot XL Systems, 1-100 Pots, 6.6 Gallon | Happy Hydro

6.6 gallons per pot, zero electricity, and every plant waters itself

The AutoPot XL System uses gravity and the AQUAvalve5 to deliver water and nutrients from a single reservoir to 6.6-gallon pots with no pumps, no timers, and no power. Each pot gets its own valve and tray, so every plant sets its own wet/dry cycle independently. The round pot base rotates inside the tray, giving you full access to the plant without disconnecting anything. Start with 1 pot and expand to 100 using the same reservoir and pipe run.

Plant-driven watering No electricity required Up to 50% water savings 1 to 100 pots, one reservoir

Hand watering vs. AutoPot XL
Hand watering
  • Water every few days, manually, per pot
  • Overwatering and underwatering depend on your schedule
  • Runoff collects in saucers, needs draining
  • Can't leave plants unattended for more than a few days
  • Each pot gets different amounts depending on pour speed
  • Scaling to more plants means more time hand watering
AutoPot XL System
  • AQUAvalve5 fills tray to 1" and shuts off automatically
  • Plants control their own wet/dry cycle through the valve
  • Zero runoff, water goes up through the root zone and stays
  • Leave for days or weeks, just keep the reservoir topped off
  • Every pot gets the same delivery from the same reservoir
  • Add pots with a tee connector, same pipe run, no extra work
What makes it different
Built around the AQUAvalve5

AQUAvalve5 with 5mm inlet 66% larger

The valve's dual-float mechanism fills each tray to exactly 1" of water, then closes. It only reopens after the plant has consumed the entire supply. The 5mm inlet is 66% larger than previous versions, reducing blockages and allowing liquid organic nutrients to flow through the system.

No electricity, no pumps, no timers

The entire system runs on gravity pressure from a reservoir raised at least 6" above the highest AQUAvalve5. No power outlet needed, no pump noise, and no single point of electrical failure.

Rotatable round pot base

The 6.6-gallon round pot sits inside a clam-shaped tray and spins freely. Rotate large plants to access every side for training, inspection, or defoliation without removing the pot from the system.

Expand from 1 pot to 100

Every system uses the same 3/8" pipe and tee connectors. Adding a pot means adding one XL expansion module and cutting in a tee. The reservoir feeds them all from a single line.

Works with any growing medium

Coco, perlite, soil blends, and clay pebbles all work. AutoPot recommends a 50/50 coco-perlite mix for best results. Heavier mixes benefit from adding an AirDome for extra root zone oxygen.

Up to 50% water and nutrient savings 50%

Bottom feeding means zero runoff. Water wicks upward through the medium and stays in the root zone until the plant uses it. Nothing drains out the bottom, nothing evaporates from the tray.

How the system works

1

Connect the reservoir

Attach the filter and inline tap to your reservoir (hard tank or FlexiTank). Run 3/8" pipe from the reservoir to your first pot, then tee off to additional pots. Raise the reservoir at least 6" above your highest AQUAvalve5.

2

Fill the pots with medium

Place a Root Control Disc at the bottom of each 6.6-gallon pot (or an AirBase if using AirDomes). Fill with your chosen medium. A 50/50 coco-perlite blend is the standard recommendation. For heavier soil mixes, add an AirDome for root zone oxygen.

3

Hand water for the first 2 to 3 weeks

Top-water your seedlings or clones until roots are established and reaching the bottom third of the pot. Then open the inline tap and let the AQUAvalve5 take over. Do not top-water after this point.

4

Keep the reservoir topped off

Refill when the reservoir reaches about one-third full. Never let it run completely empty. If the reservoir empties, air enters the lines and the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal, which is the most common cause of system failure.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
No. You connect the pipe from the reservoir to the pots using push-fit connectors, place a pot and tray at each station, and open the tap. There's no wiring, no programming, and no calibration. The AQUAvalve5 handles everything from that point forward. Most people have the system running in under 30 minutes.
Yes. The AQUAvalve5 and its 3/8" fittings were specifically designed to handle liquid organic nutrients. The wider bore practically eliminates the blockages that plagued the older 1/4" systems. AutoPot recommends using their systems with AQUAvalve5 fittings for constant organic feeding. Earlier model valves with 1/4" pipe cannot handle organics reliably.
The PRO version includes an AirBase Round, AirDome Kit, and Propagation Dome for each pot. The AirBase replaces the perlite drainage layer at the bottom of the pot. The AirDome connects to an air pump (sold separately) and pumps oxygen directly into the root zone, which improves nutrient uptake and root development. The Propagation Dome fits over the pot and creates humidity for young plants during establishment.
That depends entirely on your reservoir size relative to your pot count and how much your plants are drinking. A single plant on a 12.4-gallon tank in veg can go well over a week. Four large plants in flower on the same tank might need a refill every few days. The rule is simple: never let the reservoir run empty. If air enters the lines, the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal and stop reopening.
The XL pot gives roots nearly 70% more volume than the standard 3.9-gallon AutoPot. More root space means larger plants, better nutrient buffering, and less chance of the medium drying out too quickly under intense light. If you're growing in a 4x4 or larger tent and want to maximize plant size, the XL is the right choice.
Yes. Bottom-fed systems don't flush excess salts the way top-watering does, so maintaining proper pH in the reservoir is important. Target 5.8 to 6.2 for coco and hydro media, or 6.0 to 6.5 for soil blends. Check and adjust pH each time you refill.

Superior Design!
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
Delivery was lightning fast. I tried a pack of two pairs of these banana jacks as a sample to see if these would meet my needs. The design of these plugs is superior. The design was exactly what I wanted because the speaker wire is secured with TWO set screws. Then I ordered an additional six pairs of plugs to hook up my subwoofer to my amp and speakers. (I feed the audio output from the amp to the sub. The sub has a crossover that keeps the low frequencies and sends the mid and treble frequencies to my bookshelf speakers.) I love the security of two set screws on each plug and love the barrel that screws on AFTER the wire is secured by the set screws. Most banana plugs have a hole through the shaft of the plug that receives the stripped wire. Then the barrel cover is screwed down to secure the wire in the plug. This design compresses the speaker wire but eventually the cap loses it grip and allows the connection between the wire and the plug to become loose. Then the transfer of the audio signal becomes poor and the speakers sound bad. Every month or two I needed to check all the banana plugs and re-tighten many of them for the best performance. The two set screws eliminate this problem. The set screws are quite small and take a little extra care in installation. You will need a small flat blade screwdriver to tighten them. I used the 1/8" flat blade driver from a set of jewelers screwdrivers. These well made plugs are a bit pricier that many of the banana plugs available but certainly not the priciest plugs available. For me, the slightly higher price was more than offset by the security of the wire within the plug. I'm not thrilled with the extra tight fit of the tip on the plugs into the jacks. It took a lot of effort to insert the in the jack. Actually I "greased" the pins (very sparingly) with with non-corrosion, conductive paste (Ox-Gard, No-Corrode, etc. Do NOT use any other grease.) Next time I'll use pliers to compress the pin. My only quibbles are that the spring pins that go into the jack are very tight and that the plugs are only sold in quantities of two pairs or 12 pairs. I recommend these banana plugs for all who are using the banana plugs and jacks for hooking up your speakers. It's a very convenient way of connecting speakers if your speakers and amplifier have the banana jack as part of the binding post. Further, it's much safer to use banana plugs since the possibility of shorting your amplifier with a stray strand of wire is practically zero. Easy Five Stars.

Very easy to use
Size: 12 Pairs / 24 pcs
I have an Onkyo audio/video receiver along with an Emotiva amplifier. Both have speaker "post" terminals which will accept banana plugs, OR I can connect the speaker wires by unscrewing the posts, poke the speaker wires into the terminals and then tighten the posts. The problem with poking the wires into the terminals and tightening the posts vs using banana plugs is that there is a risk of the wires touching the metal on the back of the chassis or touching other speaker wires, causing a short if one is not careful. With banana plugs, they simply plug into the back/top of the posts, eliminating the rsick of a short circuit. They can also be unplugged very easily if needed. Banana plugs are DEFINITELY the preferred way to connect speakers to an receiver or amplifier if they have post-style terminals. These particular banana plugs came in a package of 12 I believe. They were very reasonably priced, and simple to connect to the end of the speaker wires. Simply unscrew the banana plugs, use a small, standard jewelry screwdriver and loosen both of the set screws, insert the speaker wire, then tighten the set screws, and then screw the banana plug back together. The plugs have either a red band which would typically be used for your "Right" speakers, or a black band which would typically be used for the "left" speakers. The banana plugs insert into the top or front of the speaker terminal posts on the amp and receiver. They fit VERY snug, and so I did have to apply just a little bit of pressure in order to insert them into the posts, but once plugged in, rest assured they're not going anywhere. They are snug. I highly recommend these.
