Water, Air Pumps & Airstones

Aqua-Tank – 50L, 100L, 225L, 400L, 750L.

A versatile water storage solution – ideal for Hydroponics.

They are quick and easy to construct, and because they come unassembled, positioning the storage tank exactly where you want is a breeze.

Once you’ve finished with the tank, it can be easily unassembled and stored for later use.

• easy to assemble – no tools required
• non-toxic UV resistant material
• reinforced stitching
• high quality fittings
• feed chart pocket
• easy to store when not in use

Directions of Use

• Position your AQUA-TANK near a downpipe on a firm flat surface.
• Position the end of the downpipe to the filtered opening on the lid of the tank. It may be necessary to cut the downpipe and/or add an elbow joint. Alternatively, unzip a portion of the lid and insert the downpipe onto the tank, but this will not allow for any filtering.
• Add about 50mm of water to the tank to give it stability while waiting for rainfall.
• Once water is collected in your AQUA-TANK, water can be emptied through the spout using a standard garden hose, or unzip the lid and dip a watering can or similar to water your plants.
• Periodically check the filter to remove any debris.
• The overflow valve can be kept closed or opened as needed.
• You may connect a hose to the overflow valve to divert water to a preferred location or to multiple tanks.
• If you live in an area where you may experience freezing conditions during the winter months, ideally you should empty your tank and store in a mild environment.

Hydropro waterfeature pump has been manufactured with advanced technology to provide you with the best quality pump for your pond or waterfeature at a reasonable price. They are high-quality statuary pumps with ceramic shafts for long hassle free life. With incorporated flow adjusters these are the perfect pump for any waterfeature.

• Hydropro pumps are suitable for use in many different applications including; fountains, water features, small ponds and hydroponics.
• Hydropro pump has a single moving part (an impellor set) therefore enabling easy cleaning and maintenance.
• The motor and electrical components are encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring safe operation under water.

The Autopot Smart Valve is the heart of each AutoPot System. The unit controls the water level in a module (or your own tray) to give your plants the wet-dry cycle. Over thirty years of trials, refinement and development have resulted in today's Autopot Smart valve : the Mk3.

The Mk3 model remains true to the original working principles, with refinements to allow adjustability for even more reliable performance. Unlike a conventional ball cock type float valve, the Autopot Smart valve allows total reduction of the fluid level before it refills. The dimensions of the Smart Valve are (LxWxH) 13 x 7 x 6cm.

How does the Autopot Smart Valve work?

When connected to a water supply via 4mm tubing, the valve opens to allow water to enter the bottom of the growing container to a set depth (approx 35mm). The valve then closes, and will not permit further water to enter the container until all the original water has been used up by the plant / pot. The water absorption is achieved by capillary action that naturally occurs in the growing medium. Once the water has been absorbed to the extent that the film of water under the valve has gone, the valve re-opens and another supply of water enters the growing container. The wet - dry cycles are dictated by the pot's own rate of consumption.

The Autopot Smart valve Mk3 features a redesigned top float to eliminate the possibility of a waterlogged top float.

How to connect water to the Autopot Smart Valve?

Water is supplied via pressure reduced mains, a pressure pump (like the AutoPot Smart Pump Set) or gravity fed from a water or nutrient tank. We recommended installing a 4mm or 13mm filter in the irrigation tubing before the water reaches the smart valve to prevent blockages.

The most common air stone used in hydroponics is the 'Golf Ball Airstone'.

Roughly 50mm in diameter - the golf ball air stone is suitable for most situations.

Can be attached with 4mm or 6mm tubing, with the special dual inlet 'metal' connector.

The PondMAX high performance ceramic air stones produce fine bubbles. They are long lasting and easy to clean. 

Air stones circulate reservoir water, generating oxygen whilst providing environmental oxygen enrichment.

Direction: Rinse air stone gently in warm water to remove any packaging dust.

Aqua One Air Stone Stick 

Air Stones circulate aquarium water, generating oxygen whilst providing environmental enrichment. By breaking the surface tension of the water, oxygen may be absorbed into the water. Filtration system performance and overall water quality will be greatly improved with a greater oxygen content in the water.

• Increases water circulation
• Bubbles make a great feature in any aquarium
• Stick type Air Stone
• Made of mineral sand material

Aqua One 4mm Airline soft tubing is more flexible and therefore remains kink resistant for longer periods of time. It fits the standard air pump outlet of 4mm. Also easily used with check valves

Suitable to be used with:

• Air operated ornaments
• Air driven Sponge filters
• Air stones and air curtains
• Air driven Egg Tumblers

This superior quality, soft, black, high density tubing is by far the best on the market for hydroponics.

When comparing tubing, check the wall thickness. Our tubing is thicker than most, allowing tighter bends, and reducing the chances of blockages greatly.
