ABOUT THE INNER CORE

SUStee has a replaceable 100% natural inner core making it environmentally friendly and an economical product. Check out how easy it is to replace the inner core and how long it will last in different types of soils.

HOW LONG WILL THE INNER CORE LAST?

The inner core of SUStee is 100% natural, made of non-woven cotton and will be consumed by microorganisms over time.

The state of the soil is a factor, but it can be said that the core has to be replaced when it stops turning blue after watering (approximately after 6-24 months).

We guarantee that the inner core will last at least 6 months.

How do I know when to replace the inner core?
  1. Take the SUStee device out and verify the opening at the bottom. If the inner core has decomposed, it is time to replace it with a new one.
  2. The inner core should be replaced when the device stops reacting, even if it is not entirely gone.

After long time use, the device might react poorly due to soil components or other fine particles deposited onto it.

Approximate inner core replacement times for different soil types

Organic culture soil: 6 to 9 months

Inorganic soil: 9 to 12 months

Hydroculture: 1 to 2 years

Bog moss/bark: 1 to 2 years

Peat moss: 1 year

HOW TO CHANGE THE INNER CORE?

Changing the core is done in two simple steps.
It is easy and can be done by anyone.

Step 1

Remove SUStee from the pot and follow the instructions below. If dirt has accumulated inside SUStee clean it before you insert a new core.

Step 2

Remove the lock cap by turning it counterclockwise. Take out the used inner core and replace it with a new one.

Watch out for:

Make sure you replace all components in a single operation:

  • Inner core;
  • Blue sheet;
  • Transparent straw around the blue sheet.

It is rare but possible that the transparent straw is left behind inside the main unit. If this happens, simply remove it with a pair of tweezers.

Remove the top screw cap and look inside to make sure none of the used core material is left behind.

Keep the refill in the inner bag of the product package until just before use. Once taken out of the bag, the refill’s core material may discolour.

*Discoloration won’t, however, affect the refill’s quality and effect.
*Please make sure that your baby or toddler doesn’t put SUStee in his/her mouth. It is not dangerous, but the taste is not nice either.
