Ready for giant yields in a system that’s easy to manage with a flexible layout? Invest in the tried, tested, proven IWS Flood & Drain System. How's it work? It’s all about getting oxygen to the roots. When feeding, plant pots are flooded with feed. When feeding ends, pots are quickly drained of feed. This locks oxygen in the rootzone, to drive nutrient uptake, fuel growth & prevent nasty root diseases. It's simple, but it works. Flood & drain growing system 13mm / 16mm (inner / outer diameter) pipework Handy fixed timer (15 minute segments) 10 litre IWS Punched Pots Flexible, modular layout – position pots how you want Easy to manage – pots are filled from a single tank Quiet – the pumps hardly ever on! Saves headroom - pots sit on the floor Low waste! Drained feed is stored for recirculation Extreme oxygen – better roots, growth, nutrient uptake Simple to set up and program Waste is low - drained feed is stored between floods. It'll run quietly too, the pump's hardly ever on! It’s easy to fine tune your flood times using a segmental timer (located on the side of the brain). Your layout’s flexible…expand it & position pots however you want – all pots are connected to a central feed tank individually or in groups. Pots sit on the floor too, height's hardly an issue.
