Air-Pot RTA Dripper System
A complete Air-Pot dripper irrigation kit built for consistent feeding and healthier roots.
The Air-Pot RTA Dripper System is a ready-to-run irrigation setup designed for growers who want repeatable watering without hand-feeding every pot. It can be run as run to waste or recirculating, and works with a wide range of media including soil, coco, and clay pebbles. Pair consistent dripper delivery with Air-Pot air-pruning containers and you get a root zone that stays more oxygenated and less prone to the usual circling and binding issues.
What’s included
- RTA dripper irrigation system (pipework, drippers, fittings)
- Air-Pot containers (size depends on variant)
- Flexi-Tank reservoir
- Timer
Why Air-Pots make the difference
Air-Pots are designed to prevent root circling. When roots reach the pot wall they air-prune naturally, which encourages the plant to create more branching roots instead of spiralling. That gives you a denser, more fibrous root mass that feeds more efficiently and stays more stable throughout the cycle.
Key benefits
- More consistent watering across every pot site
- Healthier root structure through air pruning and improved oxygenation
- Better nutrient uptake due to a stronger, more active root zone
- Less daily labour once the system is set up and timed
- Scalable across multiple pots for larger rooms or repeatable runs
Run to Waste vs Recirculating
- Run to waste: simplest day to day, popular for coco, very stable if you feed little and often.
- Recirculating: efficient and cost-effective, best when you monitor EC and pH closely.
Quick buying guide
- 10L: great all-rounder for more plants and shorter veg times.
- 15L: better for longer veg and heavier training.
- 20L: best for bigger plants and maximum root-zone stability.
- 6 Pot: more space per plant, ideal for larger training styles.
- 12 Pot: strong balance between plant count and root volume.
- 24 Pot: higher plant count, best for shorter veg and consistent irrigation scheduling.
Best practice tips
- Use a quality timer and feed consistently rather than in big swings.
- Keep your reservoir clean and refresh solution regularly.
- If you are running warm rooms or high-power LEDs, consider sizing up to 15L or 20L for stability.
- In recirculating setups, check EC and pH daily to stay ahead of drift.
Tip: Dripper systems reward consistency. If you keep the routine stable, the plants stay stable.
