EasyFeed Trays & Spares — Gravity-Fed Hydroponic Components for System Expansion & Replacement
Best for: Existing EasyFeed users needing to expand their system or replace damaged trays and float valves
Our thoughts
If you've already got an EasyFeed system running, these spares are worth having on hand. The trays are genuinely tough — crack-resistant plastic that lasts — and the float valves are dead simple to swap out. Modular design means scaling up is straightforward; no faffing about with incompatible parts.
EasyFeed Trays & Spares is a range of individual component parts designed to expand your existing EasyFeed System or replace worn, damaged, or lost components. Whether you're adding another pot to your setup or swapping out a float valve, this is the range that keeps your gravity-fed hydroponic system running without interruption. Built from super-durable, crack-resistant plastic, these trays are engineered to outlast cheaper alternatives and maintain structural integrity under regular use.
How it compares
EasyFeed stands apart from other automatic watering systems in several key ways:
-
Gravity-fed, not pump-dependent — No electricity needed for the basic system, just a battery-powered timer for scheduled feeding intervals
-
Adjustable float valves — Set different fill levels for different sized plants in the same system, something standard Autopot systems can't do
-
Scheduled dry-backs built in — The timer allows you to create dry periods between feeds, boosting root zone oxygen and helping prevent root rot and fungal issues
-
Fully modular — Add one tray or scale to 100+ pots using the same uncut pipework and components
-
Durability-focused design — Crack-resistant trays mean fewer replacements and longer system lifespan than budget plastic alternatives
If you're comparing this to Autopot or other passive systems, EasyFeed's timer control and adjustable valve heights give you significantly more growing flexibility at a practical cost.
Usage guidance
EasyFeed components work within a modular, gravity-fed system context. Here's how they fit into real growing scenarios:
Adding a new tray to an existing system
Simply connect the new tray to your pipework, set the float valve to your desired fill height, and you're running. The uncut pipework lets you configure exactly how you want.
Replacing a damaged float valve
Float valves are the workhorses of the system. If one sticks or fails, swap it out. Each valve is adjustable, so you can feed different sized plants at different levels in the same system — small plants on a lower fill, larger ones on a higher fill.
Expanding your grow space
Because every component is compatible and the system is gravity-fed, you can scale from a single pot to dozens without needing extra pumps or electrical work. Just add trays and pipework as you grow.
Soil or coco growing with automation
EasyFeed is specifically designed for soil and coco growers. The timer-controlled feeding creates dry periods that prevent waterlogging and fungal issues — something continuous passive systems can't do. Feed on a schedule that suits your plants, not on demand.

Who this is for
- Existing EasyFeed users expanding their system with additional pots
- Growers who've damaged a tray or float valve and need a straightforward replacement
- Anyone looking to upgrade from a single-pot setup to a multi-pot automated system without buying a completely new system
- Soil and coco growers who want timer-controlled feeding without pump maintenance
- Cost-conscious growers seeking low-electricity automation that scales affordably
- Growers who value durability and long product lifespan over rock-bottom initial cost
Our take
These spares are the backbone of keeping an EasyFeed system running long-term. The trays are genuinely tough — the crack-resistant plastic means you're not replacing them every season like cheaper alternatives — and the float valves are simple, reliable, and adjustable enough to handle mixed-sized plants in the same system.
If you're already running EasyFeed, worth having spare float valves and a backup tray on hand. If you're thinking about scaling up your existing setup without the cost of a full new system, these components make that straightforward. Good time to pick up spares while stock lasts.
