Description
A complete single-pot combi system that runs on one small air pump
The Green Man 1 Combi System is the stand-alone version of Green Air UK's combination pot: one 40L pot that feeds the roots from the top and the bottom at the same time. Below the inner basket sits the pot's own nutrient reservoir, aerated by a 4-inch airstone as in a deep water culture bucket. At the same time an air-powered pumping column lifts solution from that reservoir to a watering ring round the stem, so the upper root zone is dripped on too, and the ring mixes air into the solution as it falls. Everything is driven by the supplied air pump, so there is no water pump in the pot, very little power drawn and next to no noise. It is a straightforward way to run one large plant in hydro, with far better root oxygen than a plain pot and less risk of weak roots or poor nutrient uptake from stagnant water.
What's Included
- Green Man combi pot with raised, sloping base
- Inner basket with inspection flap
- Combi pipe kit: air-powered pumping column, watering ring, water-level pipe, elbow, grommet and clip
- Air Kit 1: fixed-flow air pump, 4-inch airstone and 2m of 4mm airline
Key Benefits
- Top and bottom feeding from one reservoir: DWC below, drip ring above
- 4-inch airstone held in a moulded seat so it stays put and quiet
- Air-powered feed, so no water pump to fail or heat the solution
- Raised, sloping base with a centre channel that drains the pot completely and keeps roots off a cold floor
- Corner notches stop the 4mm airline kinking
- 19mm fittings so the pot can later join a multi-pot Green Man system
How to Use
- Seat the airstone in its holder, run the airline up the corner notch and fit the inner basket.
- Fill the pot's reservoir with nutrient solution to the level shown on the blue water-level pipe.
- Plant into clay pebbles or your chosen hydro medium in the basket and fit the watering ring round the stem.
- Connect the air pump; it drives both the airstone and the pumping column. Top up and check pH and EC through the inspection flap.
