A \u003cstrong\u003egravity-fed float valve\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003erubber stopper\u003c\/strong\u003e shuts the flow. It needs \u003cstrong\u003eno electricity\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a power cut cannot stop it, and the splitters let one feed line supply as many bases as your grow needs.
