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 silicone fitted to the top
float resting on the hole below it.
The silicone 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 silicone, drop the float and hold at eye level
again. Repeat the procedure if necessary.

Ensure the silicone 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 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.

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

surface, never sit on capillary matting

running for 15mins every 2hrs and cleaning of the reservoir,
pump, and filter each time the reservoir empties. Flush
pipework with plain water every time the reservoir empties.

• 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 1.2m2, minimum tray depth 30mm
• Ensure tray is level
• Never use the easy2GO without a filter
• Ensure pots have holes in the bottom

Once connected to a reservoir the easy2GO Kit
