    AutoPot AirDome Kit | Happy Hydro

    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.

    Without AirDome vs. with AirDome
    Without AirDome
    • 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
    With AirDome
    • 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

    What makes the AirDome worth adding

    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

    1

    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.

    2

    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.

    3

    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.

    4

    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.

    Questions
    Frequently asked questions
    It depends on the ratio. If you're running a light, fluffy 50/50 mix, perlite alone provides decent passive aeration. But if your mix is heavier (70% soil or coco with only 30% perlite), an AirDome actively pushes oxygen into the root zone where passive air exchange falls short. AutoPot specifically recommends AirDomes for these denser blends.
    Yes. A pump that's too strong pushes air bubbles under the pot and into the tray, which can interfere with the AQUAvalve's fill and drain cycle. Stick to 15 GPH per dome. If your pump is adjustable, dial it down until you no longer see bubbles in the tray.
    Absolutely. Place the AirDome on your root control disc at the pot bottom, then pour 1 inch of perlite, clay pebbles, or hydroton around it before adding your substrate. The AirBase just makes this step faster by replacing the drainage layer entirely.
    Yes. The AirDome fits inside any AutoPot system from 2.2 gallon up through the 6.6 gallon XL pots and the 3 and 5 gallon GeoPot fabric pots. For fabric pots, use the Round AirBase to hold the AirDome in place.
    Each kit includes 3.3 feet of airline tubing, which is enough to connect the dome to a pump sitting next to the pot. If your pump is farther away, you can extend with standard 1/4" OD airline tubing (3/16" ID) from any hydro or aquarium supplier. We also sell AirDome tubing by the 10-foot length.
    AutoPot recommends running the AirDome on your light schedule so it turns on and off with your lights. This ensures warm air enters the root zone during active growth periods. Running it overnight risks blowing cool air into the roots, which can slow growth or cause stress.
