Ensuring that the AQUAvalve floods
and drains correctly

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 yellow silicon fitted to the
top float resting on the hole below it.

The yellow 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 yellow silicon, drop the float and hold at eye
level again. Repeat the procedure if necessary.

Ensure the yellow silicon is sitting parallel on the hole

below it. Hold at eye level to check the position is correct

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 yellow 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.

Your easy2GO Kit
set-up guidelines

• If smaller pots are to be used create a
gravel bed inside the tray, to a depth of 25mm (1”)

• Always sit the AQUAvalve and cover directly on the trays
surface, never sit on capillary matting

• Clean bottom and side of pots before placing in the tray

• Always use a good mineral fertiliser, if required

• Avoid using organic fertilisers in the reservoir. Organic
fertilisers should be poured directly into the pots/tray
from a watering can

• Raise tank to a minimum of 150mm (6”) above the tray level

• If used outdoors for long periods of time, it is advisable to
place a small weight on top of the AQUAvalve cover, due to
adverse weather conditions

• Maximum tray size 1.2m

, minimum tray depth 30mm

• Ensure tray is level

• Never use the easy2GO without a filter

How the easy2GO Kit works...

Once connected to a reservoir the easy2GO Kit

will allow water to flood a tray to a depth of

20mm. Only when the plants have consumed

ALL the water in the tray will the AQUAvalve refill

the tray with a fresh supply of water.

For ease of assembly lay out the contents of your easy2GO kit.

Then place your flat tray into position.

Minimum recommended tray depth is 30mm.

Maximum tray size 1.2m/sq.

Ensure your tray is level.

Place AQUAvalve cover over the AQUAvalve.

The AQUAvalve and cover should be placed
directly onto the tray.

Never sit the AQUAvalve and cover on
capilliary matting.

Remove threaded collar from AQUAvalve.

Push one end of the 6mm pipe through
the collar and attach the pipe to
AQUAvalve nozzle.

Then replace AQUAvalve collar.

Ensure the circular spirit level indicates the
tray is level, adjust if required.

Place plant pots into tray.

Connecting to a reservoir tap.

A 10cm length of standard garden hose is
required. Push hose onto tap.

Push 16/6mm inline filter onto hose. Attach
6mm pipe to the end of filter.

Clean filter once a month by simply
unscrewing and removing the internal filter,
with the tap turned off.

Connecting your easy2GO Kit to a simple
plastic container.

Drill a hole into the side of the container,
25mm from the base. Use a 3-5mm drill bit
to create a pilot hole and a 10mm drill bit for
the final hole.

Insert 6mm Top Hat Grommet into 10mm
hole, push 6mm pipe through the Grommet
and push 6mm filter into 6mm pipe.
