ALIEN EASYFEED 16L SYSTEM – Gravity-Fed, Timer-Controlled Growing Made Simple Please note: This item is purchased to order, which may cause slight additional lead times for delivery or local collection. The ALIEN EasyFeed 16L System gives you complete control over feeding – without the need for pumps, power, or constant maintenance. It’s a gravity-fed, battery-timed irrigation system designed to deliver precise, hands-free feeding to soil, coco, or mixed media. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, the EasyFeed System keeps your plants evenly hydrated, your root zones healthy, and your routine simple. It’s efficient, expandable, and built for growers who want professional results with less work and lower running costs. Gravity-fed design; runs without pumps or power Timed feeding control; battery-powered timer delivers consistent, hands-free irrigation Breathable fabric pots; promote dense, healthy root growth through air pruning Anti-blockage pipework; wide 16mm feed lines keep nutrients flowing freely Expandable design; easily add pots or reconfigure as your setup grows Why Choose the EasyFeed System EasyFeed systems save time, energy, and money compared to pump-based irrigation. Nutrient solution flows naturally from the reservoir via gravity, ensuring every plant gets a consistent feed – even without power. No moving parts, no noise, no wiring. Unlike other passive systems, EasyFeed adds a battery-powered timer for complete control over feed intervals. This lets you create dry periods between feeds, boosting oxygen in the root zone and helping prevent root rot, Pythium, and fungus gnats. Breathable Fabric Pots for Stronger Roots Each pot is made from durable, breathable fabric. As roots reach the pot edges, they’re exposed to air, which naturally stops forward growth and triggers lateral branching. The result is a denser, more efficient root system with more root tips for nutrient and water uptake. This air pruning process prevents circling roots and promotes healthier, faster-growing plants with superior structure and resilience. Timed Feeding = Healthier Root Zones Most gravity-fed systems constantly refill trays as soon as water drops, keeping roots permanently wet. EasyFeed changes that. With the built-in timer, you can set precise intervals — hourly, daily, or weekly — giving roots time to breathe between feeds. Each dry period helps re-oxygenate the root zone, encouraging stronger roots and reducing the risk of disease. It’s the same principle as flood-and-drain, but with the simplicity of gravity feeding. Reliable, No-Blockage Pipework EasyFeed uses 16mm (external) / 13mm (internal) feed pipe, which is much wider than standard 4mm tubing. This helps prevent clogging and keeps flow rates consistent, even when using thicker feeds or organic additives. It’s low-maintenance, dependable irrigation you can trust cycle after cycle. Modular & Expandable Every EasyFeed system is fully modular. Each tray’s float valve can be adjusted to set your individual fill levels, and the supplied pipework comes uncut so you can configure your system however you want. Adding more pots later is quick and simple — just connect and grow. How to Set Up Position your tank: Place your EasyFeed tank higher than your pots to allow gravity flow. Lay out your trays: Position trays evenly in your tent or grow space, ensuring each sits flat and level. Connect the pipework: Cut and fit the supplied 16mm green pipe to link trays and tank. Use the supplied tees and elbows to match your layout. Install float valves: Each tray includes a float valve – adjust to set your desired water level in the tray. Fit the timer: Connect the EasyFeed timer to your feed line and set your chosen intervals (hourly, daily, or weekly). Fill your tank: Add your nutrient solution and allow gravity to do the rest. No pumps or electricity required. Tank Connection EasyFeed systems require a raised nutrient tank to operate (not included). We recommend pairing your system with a FlexiTank for reliable, space-saving water storage. To connect your FlexiTank to the EasyFeed system, you’ll need a ¾" M BSP to 13mm Barbed Fitting. This screws directly into the FlexiTank tap and lets you push the EasyFeed’s 13mm (internal) feed pipe straight onto the barbed end for a secure, watertight fit. Position the tank at least 30–40cm above your pots for smooth gravity flow.
