AutoPot 16mm Hosepipe 30m Roll - Main Supply Pipe for Your Watering System
Best for: AutoPot growers extending a system, connecting extra modules, or building a multi-pot setup from scratch.
Our thoughts
This is the pipe that carries water from your tank to every pot in the system, so it's not the place to cut corners with generic hosepipe. A 30 metre roll goes a long way, plenty for extending an existing run or adding several extra modules with pipe to spare.
The AutoPot 16mm Hosepipe is the main-line pipe used throughout AutoPot watering systems, carrying water and nutrient solution from your tank or reservoir out to each tray's AQUAvalve. Supplied as a 30 metre roll, it has a 16mm external diameter with a 13mm internal bore, matching AutoPot's standard 16mm fittings, filters, taps, and adaptors throughout their range.
The pipe is co-extruded for durability, giving it good flexibility for routing around a grow space while standing up to sustained outdoor and indoor use, and it carries metre markings along its length to make cutting accurate lengths straightforward. To connect it down to a module's 9mm or 6mm AQUAvalve tubing, you'll need a 16mm-9mm or 16mm-6mm reducer fitting.
How it compares
It's AutoPot's own matched pipe rather than a generic garden hose substitute.
- Sized specifically to fit AutoPot's 16mm fittings, filters, and taps, unlike generic irrigation hose which may not seal reliably with click-fit connectors.
- The metre markings make it easier to cut accurate lengths than plain unmarked hosepipe.
- A larger-diameter, higher-flow option than AutoPot's 9mm pipe, which is used for shorter individual module runs rather than main supply lines.
If you're extending or building an AutoPot system, this is the pipe the rest of the fittings are designed around.
Usage guidance
Used as the main supply line running from your tank to your trays.
Cutting to length
Use the metre markings along the pipe to cut the lengths you need for your layout, minimising waste from the roll.
Connecting fittings
Push the pipe onto AutoPot's 16mm click-fit fittings, taps, filters, and adaptors, no tools or glue required.
Reducing to modules
Where the 16mm line needs to feed into a module's AQUAvalve, use a 16mm-9mm or 16mm-6mm in-line filter or reducer to step down to the correct tubing size.

Our take
There's no substitute for using AutoPot's own pipe here, it's sized to seal properly with their click-fit fittings without leaks. A 30 metre roll covers most home grow room extensions with plenty left over.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out. Worth picking up when you're extending or building out your system.
