These parts aren't expensive, they last ages, and they stop you scrambling when something wears out mid-cycle. One we recommend stocking up on.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutoPot spares are replacement parts and accessories designed to keep your gravity-fed AutoPot system running smoothly for years. Whether you're replacing worn filter discs, swapping out tubing, repairing a valve, or expanding your setup, genuine AutoPot spares ensure your system maintains the reliability it's known for. These aren't optional extras — they're the parts that keep your automated watering working without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutoPot spares sit at the heart of maintaining a gravity-fed system.

The Root Control Disc goes at the bottom of your AutoPot tray and prevents roots from blocking the Smart Valve outlet. Replace root control discs at least once per growing cycle to avoid disease transmission between crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTubing and connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMain reservoir lines typically run 16mm tubing, while individual pot feeds use 9mm (AQUAvalve5 systems) or 6mm (older systems). Barbed connectors and elbows in matching sizes keep everything leak-free. Stock these in bulk — 9mm fittings especially can be fragile, and having spares on hand beats waiting for replacements mid-cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValve internals and gaskets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silicone components inside your Aquavalve float section can wear or degrade over time.
