AutoPot Pot Systems - Complete 8 or 12 Plant Gravity-Fed Setups
Best for: Growers scaling up to a full row of 15 litre pots who want the tank, valves and pipework matched and sorted in one order.
Our thoughts
This is where AutoPot's whole "no power, no pump" pitch really starts to pay off, running 8 or 12 plants off gravity alone with nothing to wire in or program. Pick the pot count based on your tent size and tank space, not the other way round.
AutoPot Pot Systems are complete multi-pot kits built around the standard 15 litre square AutoPot pot, available as either an 8 Pot System with a 100 litre flexitank, or a 12 Pot System with a larger 225 litre flexitank. Both come complete with trays, lids, AQUAvalve5 units for every pot, root control discs, an inline filter and all the 9mm pipework and connectors needed to link the whole row to one tank.
As with every AutoPot module, each pot is fed independently through its own AQUAvalve, so individual plants go through their own wet-and-dry cycle rather than being watered on a shared timer, and the whole thing runs on gravity with no electricity involved.
How it compares
It's a complete, pre-matched kit at multi-pot scale, sitting against both active pump systems and AutoPot's own XL pot range.
- Versus a Wilma-style 8 or 12 pot pump system, Wilma needs a submersible pump and timer running continuously, this system needs neither.
- Versus assembling 8 or 12 individual 1Pot modules plus a separate flexitank yourself, buying the complete system is simpler to plumb correctly and works out cheaper than sourcing the same parts individually.
- Versus AutoPot's own Pot XL Systems, this range uses the smaller 15L pot rather than the 25L XL pot, so it suits plants that don't need the bigger pot's root volume, and lets you fit more pots into the same floor space.
A straightforward way to scale from a handful of modules to a full row without piecing the system together part by part.
Usage guidance
Choosing 8 or 12
Base the choice on your available floor space and tent size first, then check the corresponding tank fits the space you've got for it, 100L for the 8 Pot System, 225L for the 12 Pot.
Siting the tank
Position the flexitank level with or slightly above the highest AQUAvalve in the row so gravity feeds every pot reliably.
Topping up
Check tank levels regularly rather than on a fixed schedule, how long a fill lasts depends on plant size, stage and how many pots are drawing from it at once.
Technical specifications

Who this is for
- Growers scaling from single modules to a full room or row
- Commercial-leaning hobby growers wanting one order, not a parts list
- Anyone prioritising reliability over active control of watering timing
Best suited to growers who've already run a smaller AutoPot module and are ready to scale up to 8 or 12 plants.
Our take
For scaling past a handful of plants, buying the complete system rather than assembling one from separate 1Pot modules and a tank is the sensible route, everything's matched and sized correctly from the start. It's also more cost-effective than sourcing the same parts piece by piece.
Good time to buy while you're planning a bigger grow, rather than adding pots one at a time as you go.
