During the seedling phase your water tank may last several weeks, whereas growth of multiple mature plants may see this number reduce significantly. If you are not using the app, it is important to keep an eye on the water levels and the warning lights projected from the back of the unit.
Filling #
1️⃣ Open the tank to the arrows, as shown above.
2️⃣ Prepare the nutrient solution according to the instructions provided on the bottle.
3️⃣ Fill the tank with the correct volume of nutrient water. Do not fill past ‘MAX’ level indicated in the tank.
4️⃣ Slowly push the tank back into the base unit. Always insert the tank slowly and carefully to prevent overspill.
Note: For the first fill, the nutrient mix will be cycled around your totam planter and retained in the modules. It may therefore be necessary to fill up your tank again after the first watering period.
To initiate a pump cycle you can use the App (My Totams > Pump Control), restart the device, or change the pump program.
Refilling #
Wait at least 5 minutes after a watering cycle to open the tank.
1️⃣ Only open as far as the arrows on the tank cover, to avoid any remaining water dripping behind the tank.
2️⃣ Mix the nutrient water in a jug according to the mixing ratio indicated on the bottle.
3️⃣ Refill up to the ‘MAX’ level.
