IWS Flood & Drain Pro Systems

The IWS Pro System has been designed with the grower in mind. It works in exactly the same way as the 'standard' system we offer whereby plants are situated in 9.5L 'inner pots' and then flooding each individual 10.3L outer bucket from the bottom to allow the nutrient solution to fill the inner pot and thus the root system. However the difference with the Pro is speed in which is does this. This system fills and drains quicker than any other allowing far more nutrient irrigations throughout the day which greatly aids growth rates and yields! The IWS Pro will fill a 48 pot system in less than 10 minutes and drains back twice as quick as the standard system. A high pressure pump fills the brain bucket and uses huge 25mm pipe from the brain to the pots. It also has two brain pumps in the brain bucket, which drains the systems quicker.

We recommend using Clay Pebbles for this system, however coco/pebble mixes also work well.

Hints and Tips

The growing media, plant size and environmental conditions will determine the frequency of flooding. If you are using a growing media that does not retain much water, such as clay pebbles you will have to flood the pots with a higher frequency. When using clay pebble and coir mixes the water retention will be higher, so flood frequency will be reduced.
