The Air-Pot RTA Dripper System is a high performance pot based drip irrigation system. As well as the convenience of an automated feeding system, watering your plants regularly using drippers considerably improves results over traditional hand watering methods and coupled with the accelerated root development created by the Air-Pot, this dripper system delivers results that can not be matched in any other pot based system. The system can be used with a wide variety of growing media including soil, coco or expanded clay pebbles and can be configured to re circulate the nutrient or run to waste. Drip irrigation is supplied via high quality TopSpin Dripper Manifolds for even nutrient delivery through each dripper stake. Three dripper stakes per container. The nutrient reservoir is collapsible so is easy to transport and will fit through any sized doorway or opening.

  • Frequent feeding means greater uptake of water and nutrient
  • Roots do not rely on the capillary action of the growing medium
  • Free draining root zone means no nutrient build up or water logging
  • Air-Pruning of the root system grows larger, healthier plants

How it works:

Plants are fed through the tops of the Air-Pot containers via the drip irrigation system. The frequency and duration of each watering is set using the Nutrimatic Timer. This timer delivers water and nutrient in a way that mimics the way plants feed in nature, delivering short doses, little and often, with the gap between each irrigation lengthening as the day moves on. Plants respond well to this feeding pattern and are not left in saturated medium at lights out. No other timer can do this and the best part is it’s pre-programmed so no complicated set up!
The excess water drains through the Air-Pot containers and into the RTA Stands where it is piped into the RTA Control Unit. As the water level rises inside the RTA Control Unit, it activates an internal pump that pumps the water either back to the main reservoir for recirculation or directly to waste.

Bigger yields-Plants take up more water and nutrients than hand watering in pots as they are fed little and often and air-pruning the root system accelerates this process.
Faster growth rates-Air-pruning of plants roots leads to faster growth rates through an increased uptake of water and nutrients.
More choice-Grow in soil, coco, clay pebbles or rockwool.
Choose your method-System can be used as run to waste or recirculating.
Less hassle-Low maintenance. Only one nutrient reservoir for up to 48 plants. Far easier than hand watering.
Flexibility- Pots are independent of each other so you can arrange the layout of the system to suit your growing area and pots can be moved around or replaced. Timer can be used to increase the number of feeds as plants develop.

  1. Eggyones

    Bit of a squeeze 8 pots with control unit in a 4 x 4 but possible.
    Fairly easy to set up,found some basic instructions online as cardboard boxes of pipes fittings drippers and pots arrive without a clue.
    Progrow will help if you are struggling,I found looking up the fittings on progrow made it obvious.

    Plenty of black flow pipe,white Dripper hose was enough too. Filter and non return and air release all go on drip feed system on way to plants.
    I recommend some grips and a 32mm spanner to install
    Control unit pump to waste or recycle is very quiet hum.
    Feed pump is submersible and pretty quiet about it in the nice Flexi tank.
    Pretty good quality all round really.
    Plants have thrived in the system.
    Dispatched speedily and discreetly.
