Follow this step by step guide to complete the installation of your system.

SYSTEM SET-UP

Place your pots in the desired location taking care to place them evenly

and on a level surface. There is enough pipe included in the kit for the

15L pots to be 50-60cm plant centres and 30L pots at 60-75cm centres.

Examples:

15L 16 pot system – 2 x 2m (50cm centres) or max 2.4 x 2.4m (60cm centres).

30L 16 pot system – 2.4 x 2.4m (60cm centres) or max 3 x 3m (75cm centres).

Pipe lengths between pots:

15L - 50cm plant centres = 40cm

15L - 60cm plant centres = 50cm

30L - 60cm plant centres = 50cm

30L - 75cm plant centres = 65cm

Lay the pots down on their side. Fit the 50mm Dual-Flow™ ttings into

the holes at the bottom of the pots. The rubber washer must be on the

outside. Using the locating slots, slide the collars over the threads then

secure the nut with the spanner provided. Tees are used on all pots

except for the end of line where elbows are used.

Measure the distance between the barbed ttings. Taking note of the

maximum pipe lengths, cut and t the 50mm silver pipe. Use warm

water or a heat gun to make the pipe more pliable.

Place a pair of stands under each pot.

Fit a tee to the header pot. Refer to the bird’s eye images for 2, 3 and 4

row systems. The 48 pot system is a 6 row system. Connect the header

to the pots using 32mm tees & elbows. Locating the header further

away from the system is possible with extra ttings available on the

website. 50mm Dual-Flow straight & 50mm barbed tee.

Place a drain cover in the bottom of each pot.

The copper drain cover will deter the roots from entering the pipework.

The copper will discolour after a period of time, this is a natural

occurrence. We recommend replacing them after 6 months of use to

maintain the performance.

Push-t the pot clips into the slots on the side of the pots.

Push-t the two lid clips into the rectangle holes in the RAIN™ Lids and

place one on top of each pot.

If you have a 2 row system (4, 6, 8 or 10 pots), the valves with green

taps are screwed directly to the header pot. Note: 4 and 6 pot systems

may require the valves to be closed slightly to avoid splashing.

For 3, 4 and 6 row systems, screw the valves on to the threaded

tees and elbows as shown. 9, 12, 15, 16 & 18 pot systems use 19mm

threaded tees & elbows, 21 pot systems upwards use 25mm.

Place the valves as shown and connect them with blue pipe. Use the

smaller size of jubilee clips to secure.

Use silver 16mm pipe to install the reducing tees in line with the lid

clip and attach pieces of 4mm pipe through the slot in the lid clip.

The silver 16mm pipe runs the length of the system from the valves

to the last pot. Fit 16mm blanks at the end of each line.

CAMO®Tank

Assemble the tank using the leaet provided. The tank can be

located inside or outside of the grow room. If located outside,

depending on distance, more pipe may be required.

RAIN™ Pump

Fit the blue pipe to the RAIN™ pump and secure with a Jubilee clip.

4 - 18 pot systems use 25mm pipe. 21 pot systems upwards use

40mm pipe. The pump sizes are shown here.

Place the RAIN™ pump at the bottom of the tank and t the

25mm/40mm siphon tee as shown just underneath the lid. Put a

piece of pipe through the hole in the tank lid and t 2 x elbows.

Use hose clips to secure all connections on the blue feed line.

The drain siphon tee is 19mm and is connected in the same way

but without clips. Black 19mm elbows and pipe are used here.

Connect the blue feed line and black drain line to the ttings on the

header. Secure feed line with clips.

Secure the RAIN™ Brain to a wall, away from possible water contact.

Connections to “Power” and “RAIN™ pump” are shown.

Connect the cable from the red drain pump in the header pot to the

ALIEN®adaptor by pushing the connector in and securing the lock

nut. You may have a dierent style of adaptor than the one shown.

This should remain powered 24/7. Whenever the pump senses

water it will engage and drain the header.

Planting into the system

The fabric pot sits inside the plastic pot. It is made of a thick composite

material and helps prevent the medium from entering into the system.

We recommend adding the medium to the pot once placed inside the

plastic pot. If lled outside of the pot the weight of the medium can

cause the walls of the pot to swell. The medium should be lled to

30mm below the top of the fabric to allow the tting of the RAIN™ Lid.

Trim lower branches that are growing under the lid cover. If the plant

is not tall enough to protrude the lid cover, run the system without

the lid covers until the plants are tall enough.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Filling the system

Use a hose pipe to ll the tank. Add the required amount of

nutrients. After the rst feed, top up the tank as some water will

remain in the system.

RAIN™ Brain

When you select a “Run -Time” position, the RAIN™ pump will engage.

When the selected “Run-Time” expires, the system will remain idle

until the next feed cycle which is selected by the “Frequency”.

Frequency Dial

This is how often you require a feed cycle. It depends mostly on

the medium being used and the size of the plant. Soil may require

watering once every 1-3 days so the “24 - 72hr” setting would be

selected. Clay pebbles would be more in the range of once every 2-3

hours. Note, the RAIN™ system will require slightly less watering than

hand watering. This is due to the fact that the RAIN™ Lid and cover

purposely slow evaporation.

Run-time Dial

This is the amount of time that the RAIN™ pump will run. These

pumps have a high ow rate so the “Run-Time” is normally around

“30-60 seconds”. This is a guide as mediums, moisture content and

desired run o times could require a slightly dierent setting.

For example, if you want to water the plants at 4pm every day for

60 seconds. At 4pm today, select “Frequency” 24hrs and then

“Run-Time” 60 seconds. The plants will be watered now and then

again tomorrow at 4pm.
