Your AeroGarden senses when the bowl is low on water by means of a small float inside the “Fill to Here” tube that magnetically trips a sensor in the base when the water is low. If roots get inside the tube, the float may become immobilized at the lowest position, keeping the sensor open and the light flashing. To fix this,
6-pod and 7-pod AeroGardens (except Space-Saver 6 models)
- Unscrew the “Fill to Here” tube inside the bowl by giving it a quarter turn counter-clockwise
- After the tube is out, look to see if the float (a small whitish cylinder) is in the water bowl or stuck in the tube.
- Rinse the tube to clear it of roots.
- Replace the float in the tube (narrow end facing down) and replace the tube in the bowl.
On some early AeroGarden 7s, sometimes a cracked seam on the float would allow it to fill with water and it would sink to the bottom of the bowl. To check for water in the float, hold it up to a light; if you see water inside, call Customer Service for assistance.
If the “Water Level Low” light continues to blink after you have performed the troubleshooting steps, call Customer Service for assistance.
