Water level indicator TP48, (TH9754) (for Hydroponic Pots) makes water checks in larger hydroculture planters simple and clear. Its MIN, OPT and MAX scale rises and falls with free water in the reservoir, so you can see the available reserve without lifting the plant or guessing. This model features approximately 59 cm overall height and a base for very deep planters and is selected for large watertight planters or liners with an actual planting depth of 48 cm. It supports a calmer, repeatable care routine, provided that the actual planting depth is measured first and the float is left free to move.

See the level without lifting the plant

The float follows free water in the watertight reservoir and transfers that movement to the visible scale. This provides a consistent reference without dismantling the planter.

  • Choose TP48 by its actual fitting depth: 48 cm.
  • For normal care, OPT is the usual refill target.
  • Refill frequency must be adapted to the plant, season and conditions.
It is not a moisture sensor. The reading refers only to free water in the reservoir.

01

Check at a glance

Follow the changing level without lifting the liner or disturbing the plant.

02

Choose by actual measurement

Planting depth is clearly distinguished from the overall height of the product and planter.

03

A steadier routine

MIN, OPT and MAX replace blind estimation with a visible point of reference.

FittingDepth, overall height and compatibilityCorrect measurement prevents choosing the wrong model.

Where TP48 fits correctly

Planting depth is the functional measurement inside the system. It is not necessarily the same as the indicator's overall height or the decorative planter's external height.

Fitting depth

48 cm

for large watertight planters or liners with an actual planting depth of 48 cm.

Overall size / format

8.5 × 8.5 × 59 cm

Overall size helps check available clearance, but it does not replace measuring the planting depth.

Intended category

Very large hydroculture planters

The reading remains easy to see even in very deep, large hydroculture planters.

Before fitting

Check the base and free travel

59 cm is the product's overall height; select it for a 48 cm planting depth, not merely for a planter that is 59 cm tall outside.

Dimensions are nominal/approximate. For an existing hydroculture planter, measure the actual internal space before purchase.

Use & readingMIN, OPT and MAX without a rigid scheduleThe reading follows free water — not substrate moisture.

Read MIN, OPT and MAX without guesswork

The scale follows the level of free water in the watertight reservoir. It does not measure moisture in LECA, Pon or another substrate, and it cannot assess root condition.

MIN

The reserve is low

Observe the plant's water use and plan the next refill. There is no single fixed interval for every plant and season.

OPT

The normal refill target

Add water slowly and stop at OPT unless the specific plant or system instructions require a different approach.

MAX

A larger temporary reserve

Use it selectively, for example before a period away. It is not automatically the permanent level for everyday care.

Important: TP48 is a mechanical water-level indicator. If the reading remains still while the amount of water changes, first check for mineral deposits, residue or an obstruction around the float.

Four steps to a clear reading

Correct fitting and free movement of the mechanism matter more than filling quickly.

01

Measure the depth

Confirm that the hydroculture planter matches the 48 cm fitting depth.

02

Fit the indicator

Position it vertically so the base or float reaches the reservoir without being forced.

03

Check free movement

Before completing the installation, make sure the reading rises and falls without friction or sticking.

04

Fill slowly to OPT

Add water gradually, watch the scale and stop at the chosen target.

Model and code

TP48 · TH9754

Hydroculture water-level indicator with a MIN, OPT and MAX scale, selected for a fitting depth of 48 cm.

Overall size / format

8.5 × 8.5 × 59 cm

Overall dimensions are approximately 8.5 × 8.5 × 59 cm, with a Top-Pegulator format for very large planters.

Model feature

For larger hydroculture planters

It features approximately 59 cm overall height and a base for very deep planters.

Fixed fitting

No improvised alterations

No separate extension is required for the stated fitting depth. Do not modify or cut the indicator body.

Free movement keeps the reading reliable

Mineral deposits, fine granules or organic residue can restrict the mechanism.

Rinse with lukewarm water

Remove loose residue without high heat or aggressive cleaners.

Test before refitting

The reading should move smoothly and return without sticking.

Inspect periodically

Clean when movement slows or mineral build-up becomes visible.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on fitting, correct readings and cleaning.

01How do I choose the correct model?

Measure the actual internal planting depth of the liner or cultivation pot. TP48 is intended for large watertight planters or liners with an actual planting depth of 48 cm.

02Is overall height the same as planting depth?

Not necessarily. This model is selected for 48 cm, while its overall size/format is 8.5 × 8.5 × 59 cm.

03Does it measure moisture in the substrate?

No. It displays the level of free water in the watertight reservoir. It does not measure moisture in LECA, Pon or soil.

04Should I always fill to MAX?

No. OPT is the normal refill target. MAX is used selectively for a larger temporary reserve, depending on the plant and conditions.

05How often should I refill?

There is no rigid interval that suits every plant. Follow the falling reading together with season, temperature, light and the water use of the specific plant.

06Why is the reading not moving?

Remove and rinse the indicator, then check for mineral deposits, fine granules or residue obstructing the float. Refit it without forcing it.

07Can it be used in a normal soil pot?

It is designed for a system with a free-water reservoir and the correct fitting position. It does not work as a soil-moisture meter in a conventional pot.

08What is included in the pack?

One Water level indicator TP48 (TH9754). The planter, liner, LECA, plant, outer pot and nutrient products are sold separately.
