如果發現培植土上出現白色點點，這是由水中有機物（魚屎或溶在水中的魚糧）的沉積引致，並不是發霉或產生細菌，對魚及植物也沒有害，因此培植土否繼續使用而不需更換，

另一個情況，如果表面出現綠色團狀物，代表霉菌積聚，應立即解決。霉菌出現的主要成因是室內空氣不流通及濕度過高，特別是種植小麥草時，種子放得過於擠迫，而且種子互相覆蓋，便會導致霉菌的出現。一旦可用小刀把霉菌刮走，如果範圍大，可以用刀把培植土的表面一層片走，培植土可繼續使用。

If white spots are found on growing medium, this is caused by the deposition of organic matter in the water (fish feces or fish food dissolved in water), not mouldy or producing bacteria and not harmful to fish and plants, so the cultivation of soil will continue use without replacement, on the other hand, if green clumps is found, that is a sign of mould, should be resolved immediately. The main cause of mould is indoor air flow and humidity is too high, especially the seeds are being placed to crowded when planting wheat grass, very likely it is going to induce mould. Try to scrape the mould away with a small knife, or slice the surface layer off if the affected area is very large. Your growing medium is fit for use after the treatment.

培植土平面的一面是用來種幼芽類，像小麥草、蘿蔔苗、苜蓿芽等以量為主的植物。種之前先把種子浸在清水中約 1-2 小時，再平均舖在培植土上便完成。

種植香草、沙律菜及其他需要較多及整齊生長的植物，要用培植土有小洞的一面。把 2-3 粒種子放入洞內（用水輕輕沖洗洞水有助種子落入洞內底層吸收水份）便可直接發芽生長。

Flat surface is for planting young buds, like wheat grass, radish seedlings, alfalfa sprouts, etc. Soak seeds in water for 1-2 hours, then spread out evenly on the flat side of the growing medium.

Use the side with holes while growing herbs, leafy salads, and other plants. Put 2-3 seeds into each hole (gently wash them down with a stream of water), then germinate and grow directly.

培植土可以反覆使用。當培植土底部被植物根部破壞太多時才需要換。正常水生植物的根部對比土種植物來說是非常幼細。

如是芽類植物，每次收成之後把舊種子及幼根清除便可以重新播種及使用。如果是蔬菜類植物，每次收成後便因根部太多不能清除而不能改種其他植物而要更換。

當種植觀賞類植物，如果不改種新植物也可繼續使用，否則便需要更換。

The growing medium provided with Potti is designed for repeat usage until it has been deformed and damaged by the root. Plants that grown in aqua-culture has comparatively smaller root.

If you grow sprouts type of green, which can be easily removed and plant new seeds. For leafy salad type of plants, it is advised to change as the growing medium will be deformed. 

As for ornamental plants, change of growing medium is not necessary until a new type of plant is introduced.

全新的培植土表面附有微粒，它們對魚類及植物無害，但會令水呈輕微的黃色及混濁。建議新的培植土在開始使用之前，必須先用清水徹底沖洗表面的微粒。方法可在魚缸內裝 1/3 清水，把培植土（連同白色種植籃）浸在水中，輕微抖動約 30 秒，取出並倒出多餘的水份，再放入水中浸洗，重覆以上步驟約 10 便可清除。

There are tiny particles in new growing medium which lead to yellowish and cloudy water, but these particles are harmless to the fish and plant. We suggest to rinse the growing medium under running tap water or simply fill your fish tank with 1/3 full of water and soak the growing medium with the water basket and gently shake them to remove the particles, repeat until the water turns clear.

首先檢查電源是否連接好如沒有請妥善接上。

Please ensure your water pump is well connected to the power.

檢查魚缸的水位是否低過水管的入水位如是，請加已去氯氣（擺放最少 24 小時）的自來水／過濾水至指示的水位。

Fill your water tank with de-chlorine water to the suggest water level.

檢查種植盆內物理過濾格內（黑色海綿位置）是否有水如果沒有，請加回清水。

Please check the physical filter compartment (where the black sponge is placed), filled it with water.

先關掉水泵電源，拿起水管再重新接駁至水泵，確保水管的圓型接盤緊密地接上水泵的接座（泵的頂部與水管緊密連接）；如果水管正確連接至水泵，頂部應呈水平擺設。

Disconnect the power, remove the pipe and reconnect it to the water pump (top of the water pump should be well connected to the pipe), and should reached a horizontal level.

過濾棉不需整塊放入過濾格，只需放入一半厚度。如過濾棉積累太多固體廢物，可放在洗碗盤內以水喉水沖洗乾淨便可循環再用。

Please ensure the black sponge is loosely placed into the compartment as its function is to collect all solid waste from the water, and might not work if it is pressed down too tight.

如果在開啓電源的情況下扇葉也不轉動（可嘗試用筆去撥動扇葉），表示水泵已損壞，請聯絡我們的技術支援部（電話：3704 7913）安排更換新水泵。

If the small white fan is not turning after it is connected to the power, please contact our technical support division at 3704 7913 for a replacement.

請檢查以下部份：

1. 電源是否已經接上及開啓。Ensure the power is connected.
2. 檢查種植盆內過濾格內是否滿水（每次 Potti 拔去電源後，過濾格內的水便會回流到魚缸），如發現沒有水便應該加回。Physical filter (black sponge) compartment is filled with water.
3. 魚缸內的水位是否低過水管的入水口，如是，便要加入清水（已去氯或過濾水）至觸到水泵的底部。Water level, the end part of the water pipe should be immersed in water, always refill the water to suggested water level.
4. 請檢查水管是否正確接上水泵（用戶可從水平觀察，如水管一邊高一邊低便是連接有問題）。Check water pump, it should be nicely connected to the growing tray with horizontal water level.

Potti 的虹吸水循環以流體動力學（物理學）設計，當水質因水中的有機物含量增加而改變流動速度時，便會出現滴水情況，用戶可調節水管後部的旋轉鈕，先向反時針方向轉至 12 時位置，保持 2 分鐘，再調校回 2 時位置，如問題持續請把旋轉鈕向反時計方向很輕微的調校，滴水問題應可解決。

Siphon cycle of Potti is hydrodynamical (physics-based) designed, when organic matter in the water increased, dripping will occurred. Please adjust the swivel knob at the rear of the pipe and turn it counterclockwise 12 o'clock position, hold for 2 minutes, and then adjust back to 2 o'clock position, if the problem persists, please turn the knob to the anti-clock direction very slight adjustment, dripping problem should be solved.

代表水流過大，用戶先檢查水管後的旋轉鈕是否撥在正常運作位置（2 時），如非，請把它重撥至 2 時位便解決問題。

This indicates the water flow is too large, please check whether the rotary knob after the water pipe dial in the normal operating position (2 o'clock), if not, please redial it to 2 o'clock position will solve the problem.

水泵在正常運作時十分寧靜，但當噪音發出時，請檢查以下事項：

1. 種植盆內的物理過濾格是否冇水，如是，請加回清水；
   
2. 魚缸的水位是否低過入水口，導致空氣吸入水泵產生雜音；
3. 水管的接駁是否鬆脫了，可觀察水管是否一邊高一邊低，如是，請重新接上；

如非以上情況，請聯絡 Potti 客戶服務部（電話：3704 7913），安排寄回新水泵。

The pump is very quiet during normal operation, but when noise is heard, please check the following:

1 water level of physical filter compartment;

2 water level of the tank is lower than the inlet, resulting in inhalation of air pump noise;

3 water pipe connection is loose, you can observe the water side of the high side while low, if so, please re-connect;

If problem persist, contact our Customer Service at 3704 7913 for a replacement. 

水變混濁有以下兩種情況：

1. 生態系統建立初期（首 1-3 星期），當微生物開始出現並繁殖，魚缸內的水便會變得混濁，這是正常現象，只要用戶不要換水，待生態系統完全建立之後（約 3-4 星期後），水便會回復清晰。
   
2. 過度餵食魚糧也會令水變濁，因此每次餵食時，要確保魚能在 90 秒內食完魚糧，水便會不易變得混濁。
   

Turbid water has the following two situations:

1. It is normal for the water in the aquarium to become turbid as soon as the microbes begin to appear and multiply in the early days of the ecosystem (first 1-3 weeks), as long as the user does not change the water until the ecosystem is fully established (about 3-4 weeks later), the water will be clear.
2. 2 Excessive feeding of fish food can also make water turbid, so each feeding, to ensure that fish can finish eating fish in 90 seconds, the water will not easily become cloudy.

Potti 內的魚菜共生生態系統，具備自我完備及水質自動淨化的功能，只要生態系統完全建立，便再不需要換水。換言之，在系統發展初期，用戶需好好控制餵食（一星期 2 次）及飼養魚類數量（首 2-3 ），生態系統便會很順利地建立。

可是，一旦水變得異常混濁，魚類陸續死亡，便要立即把死魚取出，更換 1/3 水（換上已去氯或過濾後的水）及落半茶匙粗鹽在水中，一星期後再換 1/3 次，直至沒有魚死亡。

Potti fish and vegetable symbiosis within the ecosystem, with self-purification and automatic water purification function, as long as the ecosystem is fully established, change of water is not necessary. In other words, in the early stages of system development, users had to take good control of feeding (twice a week) and the number of fish raised (first 2-3) and the ecosystem was well established.

However, once the water becomes abnormally turbid and the fish die one after another, remove the dead fish immediately and replace one third of the water with chlorinated or filtered water and half a teaspoon of coarse salt in water. After one week 1/3 times until no fish died.

Potti 只可養淡水魚，較受歡迎的有金魚、小錦鯉、鬥魚、孔雀及米奇等。但要留意一開始用 Potti 時，只可養一條魚，2-3 星期後待水質穩定後才可慢慢加魚。

水質穩定之後，體型在 6 厘米以上的魚類不可多過 5 條，短過 6 厘米的最多可養 10 條。

Potti can only raise freshwater fish, the more popular goldfish, koi, betta, peacock and mickey and so on. However, keep in mind that when using Potti in the beginning, only one fish should be kept. After 2-3 weeks, the fish can be added slowly until the water quality is stable.

After the water quality is stabilized, no more than 5 fish of more than 6 cm in size should be kept up to 10 pieces shorter than 6 cm.

系統開始的首半年，只需一星期餵食 2 次。每次餵極少分量，讓魚兒在 90 秒內食完。由於金魚沒有胃部，牠們並不會因為飽而停止進食，所以過分餵飼有可能令牠們因過飽而喪命！如果金魚排出長長的魚糞，便證明牠們已進食過量了。

During the first six month of setting up the system, only two feeds weekly are required. Beware of the quantity, so that the fish finished eating within 90 seconds. Because goldfish do not have stomach, they never stop eating and can be overfeed easily. If goldfish discharge long fish manure, it indicates they have consumed too much.

魚糧視飼養的種類而定，較為常見是紅蟲或乾顆粒，基於味道及衛生考慮，乾顆粒魚糧最為適合。餵食的份量需嚴格控制，過多魚糧會殘留在水中，導致腐爛並污染水質。

Depending on the type of fish fed, most common are red worms or dry particles, based on taste and health considerations, the most ideal is dry ones. Feeding the amount to be strictly controlled, overfeeding will result decay and pollution of water quality.

Potti 是模仿大自然魚菜共生生態系統的科研產品，當中的虹吸水循環及生物科技轉化功能，都以飼養魚類為設計。我們並不推薦以烏龜、蝦等生物代替魚類飼養。

Potti is a scientific product that mimics the symbiotic ecosystem of natural fish and vegetables. Among them, the siphon circulation and biotechnology conversion function are all designed for raising fish. We do not recommend other creatures from raising fishes.

運作正常的 Potti，水中的氧氣足夠 3-4 條魚生存 6  小時。如遇上停電或水泵故障，請與我們聯絡安排寄出新水泵，同時準備清水（最好是已去氯氣或過濾水），每 6 小時換走 Potti  1/3 水，直至電力回復或更換新水泵。

A normal operating Potti provides sufficient oxygen in the water to survive 3-4 fishes up to 6 hours. In the event of a power outage or pump failure, please contact us to arrange for a new pump to be sent out, with clean water (preferably dechlorinated or filtered water), Potti 1/3 water every 6 hours until power is restored or replaced water pump.

把生病的魚從 Potti 取出，放進一個盛載已去氯氣的清水的膠箱，依指示在水中倒入少量粗鹽或到金魚店購買治病的藥物，待魚兒痊癒後才開始正常餵飼。

Remove the sick fish from Potti, place in a plastic container containing clear water that has been dechlorinated, pour a small amount of sea salt into the water or remedial medicines, and begin normal feeding until the fish have healed feed.

你選擇的魚和植物你的系統應該有相近的需求，溫度和 pH 值。 魚類和植物的需求總是會有一些妥協，但是它們越接近，你就會獲得越多的成功。在 Potti 中表現出色的植物包括：羅勒，薄荷，韭菜，綠葉蔬菜和發芽類植物。當系統完全成熟時，也可以種植果實類植物，例如：車厘茄、指天椒、士多啤梨等。

The fish and plants you select for your aquaponic system should have similar needs as far as temperature and pH. There will always be some compromise to the needs of the fish and plants but, the closer they match, the more success you will have. Plants that will do well in Potti includes: basil, mint, chives, leafy greens and micro greens. Once your eco-system is established, plants with fruits can be grown, like cherry tomato, red pepper, strawberries.

Potti 採用的培植土具備三大特點──中性不褪色、吸水力強及去水力特快，因此植物的根部不會因長期浸在水中而壞死。另外，Potti 的虹吸循環讓植物的根部能充分吸收水分及呼吸，確保植物能在理想的環境中生長。

Growing medium of Potti has three major characteristics: neutral, non-fading, strong water absorption, and de-hydration so that plant roots do not die from prolonged immersion in water. In addition, Potti's siphon cycle allows the plant's roots to fully absorb water and breathe, ensuring that plants grow in their ideal environment.

水這個媒介在魚菜共生中佔了很大的比重，但在精密的水流循環計算及選擇培植土的物料之下，多肉性植物如蘆薈（Aloe Vera）也能成功培植。蘆薈被譽為一流的室內空氣淨化植物，能有效吸收致癌的甲醛、二氧化碳及一氧化碳。

Water, a medium that accounts for a large share of fish and vegetable symbiosis, succulent plants such as Aloe vera can also be successfully grown under sophisticated water circulation calculations and selection of cultivated soil material. Aloe Vera is known as a first class indoor air purification plant, can effectively absorb carcinogenic formaldehyde, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

一般來說， Potti 的培植土可儲備足夠的水份讓植物根部保持濕潤，如果因意外事故電力中斷，水泵停止運作，請把植物連同種植籃及頂蓋一起取出，放在盛托盆通風位置，待電力回復後放回 Potti 種植盆便可繼續種植。

In general, growing medium of Potti reserves sufficient moisture to keep roots moist. If the pump is out of power due to an accident, remove the plant with the planting basket and lid and place it in a well-ventilated place, until the power back into Potti planted pots can continue planting.

Potti 的高度與 iPad Air 相若（25 厘米），長闊大小為 25×27 厘米，可以同時養魚和種菜，因此很適合香港的居住環境。

The height of the Potti is similar to that of the iPad Air (25 cm) and the length and width are 25 x 27 cm, making it suitable for Hong Kong life style.
