Irrigation Piping 12mm - Hydroponic Components - Sold per m
Regular price R5.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Irrigation Piping is a general purpose, flexible water supply pipe, often used in hydroponic and automated watering systems. Piping is made from Low-density polyethylene.
Water pumps have different sized pipe fittings, getting larger as the pump size increases and your size of water pump will determine what size Irrigation Piping you will use in your system ( 12mm, 15mm or 20mm diameter) When designing a system, the first thing to consider is what size water pump you will need to use. Choose a water pump based on the head height / lift (the maximum height the pump will have to lift the water) when designing a NFT hydroponic system. For other applications, the flow rate of the pump can also be considered.
Sold per meter.

9mm piping for Autopot AQUAValve5 - Hydroponic Components - Sold per m
Regular price R22.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Autopot Piping comes in various thicknesses and is made from soft PVC, which is slightly softer and more pliable than agricultural LDPE or PVC irrigation pipe. The elasticity of the Autopot piping molds snugly around pipe fittings when attached, providing a leak-proof seal when used in low and no pressure applications, like Autopot’s gravity fed self watering systems. Fittings can also be removed from the this type of piping quite easily, allowing for easy deconstruction or changes in system layout.
We especially recommend using Autopot piping to connect your Autopot Aquavalves because of the soft fit.
Piping is sold per meter.

Airdome - complete - For Autopot Systems - Hydroponic Accessories
Regular price R90.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%The AirDome is the perfect accessory to gardeners of all abilities. It has been designed to increase the amount of air around the root zone in plant pots.
If you are lucky enough to have power in your greenhouse or tunnel this little addition can increase yields by up to 130%. It is very simple to use once assembled, which will take less than 30 seconds. The AirDome is placed at the bottom of the pot, covered with compost and then connected to an air pump. Oxygen is then supplied directly to the plants’ root zone, improving crop development and ensuring maximum growth.
It is very easy to use. The AirDome is placed at the bottom of the pot, covered with the substrate of choice and then connected to an air pump.
To maximise the effectiveness of the AirDome use a fluffy mix such as a mixture of 50% good Coco Peat and 50% Perlite.
Provide the plants with additional oxygen to boost growth significantly and increase yields.
To increase levels of oxygen for smaller plant at times when the medium seems to stay wet.
With all growing conditions being correct the Air Dome has been proven to increase yields by up to 130%.
The AirDome should only be switched on during the daylight periods. Always ensure that warm air is blown in and around the root zone. Temperatures between 18 and 22 degrees are ideal. Temperature below and above 5 degrees and 30 degrees will potentially damage the roots.
Raise your air pump higher than the AirDome(s) to prevent water from siphoning back when the pump is off or use a non-return valve.
Use a timer to turn the pump on and off when the air temperature is warm and before it gets too cool.
Many AirDomes can be linked together using 5mm connections, or for larger AirDome setups, use 12mm pipe as the supply line, reducing the pipe at each AirDome point with the AutoPot 12mm to 5mm Cross Connectors.
