AirDome Kit

The Air Dome will increase the amount of oxygen around the root zone in your pot.

When growing in Auto Pot, we recommend using a lighter, fluffier mix, for example a 50% soil or coco with 50% perlite.

If you’re using something heavier with less aeration, for example a 70% soil or coco with 30% perlite, we highly recommend implementing an Air Dome into your system to supercharge your Auto Pot System and provide adequate oxygen to the root zone of your plants.

Air Dome Assembly/Installation: Stretch the 4x perforated bubble pipe pieces to open the holes.

Take the ¼” Cross Connector and attach the 4x perforated bubble pipe pieces to it.

Connect all four ends of the perforated bubble pipe to the four connection points inside the Air Dome.

Connect the Air Dome piping to the outside point of the Air Dome.

Pro Tip: Dip the Air Dome piping in hot water to soften the pipe and allow for an easy connection onto the Air Dome.

Air Dome Placement: Air Base Placement: Place your Air Dome on top of your root control material at the base of your pot.

Set the Air Base on top of the Air Dome.

Feed the Air Dome piping through the notches on the underside of the Air Base to hold in place and feed up the corner of the pot.

Pour your blended substrate on top to fill the pot.

Standard Placement: Place your Air Dome on top of your root control material at the base of your pot.

Pour drainage layer material (perlite no3, clay pebbles, hydroton) around the Air Dome to a depth of 1”.

Pour your blended substrate on top to fill the pot.

Air Dome Operation Tips: Each Air Dome requires 15 GPH so ensure you get the proper sized air pump.

Too strong of a pump will cause air bubbles underneath the pot which will travel into the tray and can disrupt the aquavalve.

Do not activate your Air Domes right away.

Allow 1-2 weeks for the plants to establish before turning on.

The Air Dome should only be switched on during daylight periods.

It is recommended to run the Air Domes with your lights, so they turn on and off with your lights.

Always ensure warm air is blown through the Air Dome.

Temperatures below 41F and above 86F may damage roots.

Raise your air pump away from cold floor surfaces and place at a higher level than the Air Domes to prevent water from siphoning back when the air pump is off.

Alternatively, you can install a non-return valve.

Consider adding an Air Dome Quick Connect to disconnect your tubing at the pot instead of the air pump.
