Pump oxygen directly into your root zone
The AutoPot AirDome sits at the bottom of your pot and delivers oxygen through perforated bubble pipe, feeding air directly to the roots. It assembles in under 30 seconds, works with any AutoPot system using 2.2 to 6.6 gallon pots, and requires only a small external air pump rated at 15 GPH per dome. Heavier mixes (70% soil or coco with 30% perlite) benefit the most from the added root zone aeration.
- Roots rely on passive air exchange, which slows down as substrate compacts
- Heavy or wet mixes can go anaerobic, increasing risk of root rot
- Perlite or clay pebbles add drainage but don't actively push air
- Air pump actively pushes oxygen into the root zone on your light schedule
- Four bubble pipes distribute air evenly across the bottom of the pot
- 30-second assembly, fits all AutoPot pots from 2.2 to 6.6 gallons
15 GPH Per Dome Sized right
Each AirDome needs exactly 15 GPH from your air pump. For a 4-pot system, that means a 60 GPH pump. Too strong causes bubbles that can disrupt the AQUAvalve.
30-Second Assembly
Connect four pieces of bubble pipe to the cross connector, snap them into the dome body, and attach the airline tubing. No tools needed.
Works With or Without AirBase
Place the AirDome on a root control disc with 1 inch of perlite around it, or snap it under an AirBase and skip the drainage layer entirely.
Run On Your Light Schedule
AutoPot recommends running the AirDome with your lights, not overnight. Warm daytime air helps the root zone. Keep the air pump off cold floors to avoid chilling the air going in.
Recommended Mix: 50/50
AutoPot recommends 50% substrate and 50% perlite or clay pebbles for AirDome setups. If you're running heavier mixes (70/30 or denser), the AirDome matters even more because passive airflow falls short.
Wait 1 to 2 Weeks Before Turning On
Let plants establish their root zone first. Starting the AirDome too early can stress young transplants before roots reach the aeration zone.
How to install the AirDome
Assemble the AirDome
Connect the four pieces of perforated bubble pipe to the cross connector, then snap each end into the four points inside the dome. Dip tubing in hot water first if the fit is tight.
Place in the pot
Set the AirDome on your root control disc at the bottom of the pot. If using an AirBase, place the AirDome underneath and feed the airline through the AirBase notches. Without an AirBase, pour 1 inch of perlite or clay pebbles around the dome.
Connect to air pump
Attach the included airline tubing to the dome's external inlet and run it up the side of the pot to your air pump. Use a check valve between the pump and dome to prevent backflow.
Wait, then activate
Fill the pot with your blended substrate, transplant, and let plants establish for 1 to 2 weeks. Then turn on the air pump during light hours only. Keep the pump elevated off cold floors.
