AutoPot FlexiPot 48 XL System Kit

The AutoPot FlexiPot 48 XL System Kit is a large-scale, automatic, gravity-fed irrigation system designed for commercial growers, greenhouses, and professional cultivation facilities. Combining AutoPot’s proven irrigation technology with 48 high-performance 5 gal (20 L) fabric FlexiPots, this system efficiently irrigates multiple plants automatically without electricity, water pumps, or timers.

Each plant has its own 1Pot XL tray, AQUAvalve5, and FlexiPot, delivering water or compatible nutrient solution automatically based on the water level in each tray.

You can configure the system with or without a reservoir. With a reservoir, the FlexiPot 48 XL uses a 400 L (approximately 106 gal) FlexiTank, providing ample capacity for a large gravity-fed irrigation installation.

48 Individually Controlled Growing Sites

The AutoPot FlexiPot 48 XL System Kit provides 48 individual growing modules, each controlled by its own AQUAvalve5.

Rather than watering each plant on a fixed timer schedule, each AQUAvalve5 responds independently to the water level in its tray. Once the plant has used the available water, the valve allows the tray to refill before automatically shutting off the supply again.

This provides automatic irrigation with:

• No electricity required
• No water pump required
• No irrigation timer required
• Individual water-level control for each plant
• Reduced daily hand watering
• A modular configuration suitable for commercial cultivation

5 gal (20 L) Fabric FlexiPots

The system includes 48 x 5 gal (20 L) fabric FlexiPots designed specifically for use with AutoPot 1Pot XL trays.

The porous fabric construction allows greater gas exchange around the growing medium and root zone than conventional rigid containers.

As roots reach the FlexiPot's porous walls, exposure to air naturally discourages root tips from continuing outward. This process, commonly known as air pruning, encourages secondary root development while helping reduce excessive root circling.

The result is a dense, fibrous root structure that can efficiently access moisture and nutrients throughout the growing medium.

Benefits of FlexiPot Fabric Containers

• Capacity: 5 gal (20 L) per pot
• Porous fabric construction
• Encourages natural root air pruning
• Helps reduce excessive root circling
• Supports dense, fibrous root development
• Allows increased gas exchange through the growing medium
• Made from BPA-free and lead-free material
• Lightweight compared with rigid plastic containers
• Durable and reusable
• Easier to transport and store than large rigid pots

400 L FlexiTank Reservoir Option

The AutoPot FlexiPot 48 XL System Kit can be configured:

• Without a reservoir, for integration with an existing compatible reservoir
• With a 400 L FlexiTank (approximately 106 gal)

AutoPot specifies a 400 L reservoir for the FlexiPot 48 system.

Approximate FlexiTank dimensions:

• Capacity: 400 L (approximately 106 gal)
• Diameter: approximately 26.8" (68 cm)
• Height: approximately 43.3" (110 cm)

For reliable gravity-fed operation, AutoPot recommends elevating the reservoir approximately 6" (15 cm) above the highest AQUAvalve5.

High-Capacity Irrigation Network

The FlexiPot 48 XL uses a larger main distribution pipe and smaller feeder tubing to deliver water efficiently throughout the system.

The irrigation network uses:

• Main irrigation pipe: 16 mm OD (approximately 5/8")
• Feeder tubing: 9 mm OD (approximately 3/8")
• 48 individual AQUAvalve5 units
• Cross connectors to distribute water to individual modules
• Inline taps for isolating sections of the irrigation network

This modular design lets you arrange the 48 growing sites efficiently to fit your cultivation area.

• Approximately 79 ft (24 m) of 9 mm (3/8") tubing
• Approximately 66 ft (20 m) of 16 mm (5/8") main pipe
• 1 x Instruction Sheet
• Optional 400 L (106 gal) FlexiTank, depending on the configuration selected

PotSock Round Root Control

Fit each FlexiPot with a PotSock Round at its base when used with an AutoPot irrigation system.

The PotSock helps prevent roots from growing out of the fabric container and entering the irrigation tray or AQUAvalve area. One PotSock Round is included for each of the 48 FlexiPots.

Proper root control helps maintain reliable AQUAvalve operation and simplifies routine system maintenance.

Flexible Commercial Layout

Because the AutoPot XL trays operate as individual modules, growers are not restricted to one permanently fixed configuration.

Growers can reposition individual pots and trays as plants grow, creating extra spacing without rebuilding the entire irrigation network.

AutoPot lists an approximate floor space requirement of:

• 16.4 ft x 16.4 ft (5 m x 5 m)

This measurement excludes the reservoir and may vary according to the final arrangement of the growing modules.

Reusable and Low-Maintenance

AutoPot FlexiPots are designed for repeated use. After each crop, you can let the fabric pots dry, brush them to remove loose growing medium and fine roots, and then clean them before the next growing cycle.

Because the system operates through gravity and mechanical AQUAvalve5 control, no electrical irrigation controller, pump or timer is required during normal operation.

Regular inspection and cleaning of the reservoir, filter, tubing, trays and AQUAvalve5 units will help maintain reliable water flow throughout the entire 48-site installation.

Important Indoor Humidity Consideration

Fabric pots expose more growing-medium surface area to the surrounding air than rigid plastic containers. When using 48 FlexiPots indoors, this can increase humidity in the growing environment.

Adequate ventilation, air circulation, dehumidification and environmental monitoring are therefore especially important in larger indoor installations.

Commercial-Scale Automatic Irrigation

The AutoPot FlexiPot 48 XL System Kit combines the efficiency of a 48-site automatic irrigation network with the flexibility and root-zone benefits of reusable fabric pots.

Whether you're outfitting a commercial grow room, expanding a greenhouse, or reducing the labour of manual watering, the FlexiPot 48 XL offers a powerful, modular, low-maintenance approach to large-scale irrigation.
