elevated tank (via elevated tank connector) |
a nearby water container (vase, pot, buttle) |
Capacity of Water |
unlimited |
the tank volume |
the container volume |
Can the plant be on a higher level than the source of water? |
yes, up to 4m, without impact on water dispension |
no, tank must be higher (min. 10cm per 1m tubing, not less than 50cm) |
yes, up to 50cm, but it causes lower water dispension |
Refill intervals for tank / container (1) |
never |
3 to 7 days (dependend from container size) |
7 to 14 days (dependend from container size), every 4 to 8 weeks water once manually |
