Air Pump & Air Stones

StarStarStarStar

Increases oxygenation of the water, promoting healthy root growth. This system keeps the water moving, which means less stagnation and therefore less water replacement needed.

StarStarStarStar

Reservoir

StarStarStarStar

Stores the nutrient solution used by plants. Conserves water by allowing the recycling and reuse of water and nutrients, preventing waste.

StarStarStarStar

Submersible Pump

StarStarStarStar

Circulates nutrient solution from the reservoir to the plant roots. It conserves water by enabling a closed-loop system that recycles water continually.

StarStarStarStar

Growing Trays

StarStarStarStar

Contain plants and their root systems, allowing roots to access the nutrient solution. These trays conserve water by containing the solution and preventing evaporation.

StarStarStarStar

Nutrient Solution

StarStarStarStar

Provides essential minerals and nutrients for plant growth. In hydroponics, water-soluble nutrients allow the solution to be reused, reducing the amount of water and nutrients needed.

StarStarStarStar

Timer/Control System

StarStarStarStar

Automates the feed cycles of the nutrient solution to the plants. This precision timing conserves water by ensuring that plants receive the exact amount of water when needed, with no excess.

StarStarStarStar

Delivery System (Tubing & Emitters)

StarStarStarStar

Transports the water and nutrients directly to the plants' roots. Reduces water usage by delivering a precise amount of water and minimizing wastage.
