AutoPot 9mm Hosepipe - 1 Metre Length for Repairs and Short Runs
Best for: Topping up, extending or repairing a 9mm AutoPot pipe run without having to buy a full roll.
Our thoughts
This one's genuinely just a single metre length, not a 30 metre roll, whatever the product handle on our site might suggest. The price and the single "Default" variant both point the same way, so we've written this listing for the product that's actually being sold: a 1m length. If you need the full roll for plumbing a whole system from scratch, look for AutoPot's 30m roll instead.
This is a 1 metre length of AutoPot's co-extruded 9mm pipe, the same pipe used throughout AutoPot's XL, easy2grow and FlexiPot ranges to feed AQUAvalve5 units from the tank. It has an outside diameter of 9mm and an inside diameter of 7mm, and is metre-marked along its length for easy, accurate cutting.
The pipe is co-extruded and opaque rather than clear, which matters more than it sounds, it blocks light from reaching the nutrient solution inside the line and helps stop algae building up over a long grow.
How it compares
It's a short, single length rather than a bulk roll, aimed at a different job.
- Buy the 30 metre roll if you're plumbing an entire multi-pot system from scratch, buy this 1 metre length if you just need a quick repair, extension or spare.
- Versus generic clear aquarium or garden tubing, AutoPot's pipe is opaque by design specifically to block light and reduce in-line algae growth.
- Versus cutting a length from an existing roll, this is a convenient way to get exactly 1 metre without opening a full roll for a small job.
A small, cheap length that's worth having in the parts box for quick fixes rather than cutting into your main roll.
Usage guidance
Cutting to length
Use the metre markings printed along the pipe to cut cleanly with sharp scissors or pipe cutters, a clean square cut helps push-fit connectors seal properly.
Connecting up
Push the cut end firmly into grommets, tees or the AQUAvalve inlet until it seats fully, there's no need for glue or tape.
Checking for kinks
Avoid tight bends when routing the pipe, a kinked 9mm line can restrict flow to an AQUAvalve and cause uneven watering.

Not the right buy if you're plumbing a whole system, a 30 metre roll works out far cheaper per metre for that job.
Our take
It's a small, practical length that does exactly what a 1 metre length should, no more, no less. Worth grabbing alongside a few connectors if you're patching up an existing system rather than building one from the ground up.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out, and cheap enough to always have a spare length on hand.
