Adding the WaterUps®
Reservoir Liner Insert
1. Unfold the reservoir liner Insert
and clip corners in to position.
2. Before placing the reservoir liner
in the base of the bed ensure
that the base is level and
compacted and free from any
sharp object such as stones.
3. Place the reservoir liner in the
base so that it sits inside the
bottom railing.
Adding the WaterUps®
cells, plus the Inlet and
overow pipes
1. Place a WaterUps®cell in the
base of the liner near the
overow hole to work out the
correct position to attach the
overow pipe to the cell. After
attaching the overow pipe and
clicking it into position, add the
rubber washer to the overow
pipe and push in until it abuts
the liner.
2. Now carefully place the cell with
the overow pipe in the base of
the liner positioning it so that
the thread of the overow pipe
protrudes from the external wall
of the bed frame. Slide on the
white spacer pipe and push it
through the hole in the steel
frame until it abuts the wall of
the reservoir liner. Now screw on
the nut and secure tightly in
position.
3. Cut out the circle in the top of
one of the remaining WaterUps®
cells and insert the inlet pipe –
refer to the WaterUps®
Installation Guide if needed.
4. Place all remaining WaterUps®
cells in position and fold down
the aps on the top of the
reservoir line. These can be
secured in position with either
cable ties or WaterUps®joiners
or simply left folded over.
5. Now ll the 4 wicks of each cell
with perlite and then add your
potting mix, compost and plants.
