As you prepare your patio containers and planter boxes for the spring growing season, keeping your irrigation system tidy is just as important as keeping your plants hydrated. The Potstream offers an ingenious side-mounted watering solution that clips directly to the edge of your pots, keeping 1/4" micro tubing neatly tucked out of sight. This adjustable emitter delivers a gentle, four-stream half-circle pattern inward toward the root zone, minimizing soil erosion while maximizing efficiency. With an easily adjustable top knob, you can seamlessly adapt the flow rate and spray radius to perfectly match container sizes ranging from 8 inches to 24 inches in diameter.
Review the operating requirements and flow chart below to balance your container system.

|---|---|---|
| 5 | 0 - 3.3 | 8.7" |
| 10 | 0 - 4.7 | 9.1" |
| 15 | 0 - 5.8 | 9.3" |
| 20 | 0 - 6.8 | 9.5" |
| 30 | 0 - 8.3 | 11.0" |
| 35 | 0 - 9.1 | 11.8" |

Configure your clean, stake-free container irrigation network.
Step 1: Secure to Pot
Slide the side-mount clip of the Potstream firmly over the top edge of your planter. It securely fits pot walls up to 1.57 inches thick.
Step 2: Connect Micro Tubing
Attach one end of your 1/4-inch micro tubing to the inlet barb located at the bottom of the Potstream unit.
Step 3: Tap the Mainline
Use a punch tool to create a hole in your 1/2-inch mainline tubing. Insert a 1/4-inch transfer barb and connect the other end of your micro tubing to it.
Step 4: Adjust the Flow
Turn on your water system. Twist the top adjustable knob on the Potstream to dial in the perfect spray radius for the size of your specific container.
Is the Potstream good for my new spring container plants?
Yes, the Potstream is excellent for spring containers. It delivers a gentle, adjustable four-stream pattern that deeply waters roots without washing away topsoil or damaging delicate young seedlings.
Providing consistent, non-erosive moisture early in the season is critical for helping your container plants establish strong roots before the summer heat.
How does the Potstream attach to my garden planters?
The Potstream features a built-in mounting clip that slides directly over the side edge of your pot. It securely fits pot walls up to 1.57 inches thick, keeping tubing neat.
Can I adjust the water output on the Potstream as my plants grow?
Yes, you can easily adjust the water output. The top knob allows you to regulate the flow rate from 0 up to 9.7 GPH and adjust the spray radius up to 12.4 inches.
This is incredibly helpful for mixed patio planters. You can start with a small radius for young spring flowers and open it up as the root mass expands.
What tubing do I need to install the Potstream?
You need standard 1/4-inch micro tubing to connect the Potstream to your main water line. The 1/4-inch tubing attaches directly to the inlet barb on the bottom of the device.
