This 3D-printed spacer elevates the AutoPot AirDome so that the air outlets are above the water level. This prevents air from bubbling into the water, which avoids the often-described pH shift due to additional oxygen input and keeps the nutrient solution stable.
Suitable for the original AutoPot AirDome (standard size). Features a hose groove for neat routing of the 6mm air hose. Lightweight, open design for good airflow and quick drying.

Features

  • reliably lifts the AirDome above the water level
  • prevents air bubbles in the tray → more stable pH
  • Clip/support design with hose guide
  • material and time-optimized, robust

Assembly & Use

  1. Insert the spacer into the pot, aligning the groove towards the hose.
  2. Place the AirDome onto the spacer from above – it fits snugly.
  3. Lay the air hose into the groove and lead it to the connection.

This kind of avoids the point of the airdome in the first place... it makes it so air cannot enter the water and be absorbed by the roots

The air dome is used to allow air to slowly rise through the substrate. It is not about enriching the water with air. In the video from Autopot, for example, it is explained that the substrate must be permeable to air so that the air can rise upwards. If this is not the case, the air will bubble out from under the pot, causing the Autopot valve to be continuously activated, which leads to overwatering. And since many users describe exactly this problem, that constant bubbling in the water leads to a pH shift, I have developed this option

You are 100% correct. You do not want to even break the surface of the water in the tray or res as it can lead to algae and like you said ph drift. Thanks for the file, Im printing 4 as we speak! ;)

🤦🏻‍♂️ the whole point is to put air into the water!
