Description
Refill Every Self-Watering Base Automatically — No Pump, No Power
The AC Infinity Auto-Fill Upgrade Valve Kit turns AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Bases into a hands-off watering system fed from one larger reservoir. A gravity-fed float valve sits in the reservoir of each base: as plants drink and the level drops, the float opens and lets water in; when the base is full the float rises and a rubber stopper shuts the flow. It needs no electricity, so a power cut cannot stop it, and the splitters let one feed line supply as many bases as your grow needs. It fits both the Standard and XL self-watering bases.
What's Included
- Auto-fill float valves x 4
- Water tube, 4.57 m (15 ft), 1/4 in ID x 3/8 in OD
- Tube splitters x 4
- Valve nozzles x 4
Key Benefits
- Gravity powered — no pump, no electricity, nothing to fail during a power cut
- Oversized float valve and rubber stopper — a secure seal that stops leaks and overflow
- Expandable — splitters branch one feed line out to as many bases as you need
- Standard tubing size — 1/4 in ID / 3/8 in OD connects to a wide range of tanks and hydroponic fittings
- Tool-free set-up — the tube pushes onto the nozzles and splitters by hand
How to Use
- Raise the reservoir: stand your water or nutrient tank higher than the bases so it can feed them by gravity.
- Fit the valves: place one valve in each base's reservoir, beneath the reservoir plate.
- Run the line: connect the tube to the reservoir outlet, cut it to length and use the splitters to branch a feed to every valve.
- Fill and check: open the supply, watch each base fill until its float closes, and check every joint for drips.
- Keep it clean: run clean water through the tube and rinse the valves between crops so the floats move freely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need a pump or electricity?
No. The valves are gravity fed, so the only requirement is that the reservoir sits higher than the bases. Each float opens and closes on its own as the base empties and refills.
Which self-watering bases does it fit?
It is made for AC Infinity's Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base in both sizes, Standard and XL. Each base takes one valve, and the kit has four.
Can I connect more than four bases?
Yes. The system is expandable — every base needs its own valve, so add a second kit for bases five to eight, and use extra 1/4 in ID tubing if your runs are longer than 4.57 m.
What reservoir can I use?
Any tank or container with an outlet that takes 1/4 in ID (3/8 in OD) tubing, placed above the bases. The reservoir is not included.
