The Clean, Side-Mounted Solution for Spring Planters
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.
- Side-Mounted Design: Clips securely to pot edges up to 1.57″ thick. This eliminates the need for bulky stakes and keeps the supply tubing cleanly routed along the outside of the container.
- Adjustable Flow & Radius: Features an intuitive top knob that allows you to easily dial the spray radius from 0 up to 12.4 inches, perfectly accommodating pots from 8″ to 24″ in diameter as your plants grow.
- Gentle 4-Stream Pattern: Emits a low-application, half-circle stream of water inward toward the plant. This prevents the topsoil erosion and splashing commonly caused by harsher sprayers.
- Easy to Clean: Designed to be quickly taken apart, allowing you to flush out sediment or debris and ensure consistent watering all season long.

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.
