The Click Fit Tank Adapter and Filter 12mm is simply pushed onto the tap provided. The filter filters the water before it moves to other connected pipes. This fitting allows the user to push a 12mm pipe (hosepipe) onto the end of the adapter.
The filter resides within the length of the fitting and reduces impurities in the water before it enters the pipework connected to the AQUAvalves trays and pots. This prevents the build-up of sediment and clogging of pipework.
You should always use a filter with all AutoPot Watering Systems and check and clean the filter regularly. If you use an inline filter, it should be cleaned every 2 - 4 weeks. A poorly maintained filter can disrupt nutrient solution supply and block the AQUAvalves.
Generally, if you ensure your reservoir and AutoPot trays do not collect debris, your AQUAvalve should work perfectly for the duration of your crop. If you are growing long-term crops, service your AQUAvalves every 3 months.
