290mm Round Wicking Kit – Single Inlet

Simple Retrofit. Compact Wicking Performance.

Turn almost any round pot into a self-watering system with proven WaterUps wicking technology – in a compact 290mm size.

Designed for straightforward outdoor retrofitting, this single inlet version is ideal for patios, balconies, courtyards, and garden settings where a few drips won’t matter.

Key Specifications

• 290mm diameter top plate
• 210mm base diameter
• 95mm high reservoir
• 4-litre water storage capacity
• Single inlet pipe
• Designed for round pots 290mm or larger

Single Inlet Design

• One pipe functions as the water inlet
• Fill directly into the reservoir using a hose or watering can

There is no overflow pipe.

For outdoor use, this keeps installation simple. No drilling overflow holes. No extra fittings. If you slightly overfill, a few drips outdoors are no issue.

It’s all about clean, seamless integration into your existing pot.

Why It Works

• Creates a perched water table beneath the soil
• Plants draw moisture upward via capillary action
• Reduces watering frequency
• Minimises surface evaporation
• Keeps nutrients in the root zone
• Promotes stronger, more stable root systems

Ideal For

• Outdoor feature pots
• Balcony and patio containers
• Courtyard planters
• Decorative round pots
• Garden upgrades without replacing your planter

Retrofit what you already own.
Keep it simple.
Let your plants wick what they need.

NOTE – 0.5L of perlite is needed. The wicking cell needs to be secured to the round base using 3 screws (not supplied). After placing inside your pot, fill the gap around the outside with gravel. Fill the leg with perlite and cover the entire base with geotextile fabric. If you skip this step and simply fill your pot with soil, the soil around the outside of the wicking kit will siphon the water out of the kit resulting in rapid emptying of the water reservoir.
