The air stones produce fine bubbles that:
accelerate root growth
increase nutrient uptake
keep water fresh & agitated
Due to the larger water volume, pH and EC remain significantly more stable than in small DWC systems.
The system works right out-of-the-box and is perfect for all growers who want to try hydroponics in an uncomplicated way or use it long-term.
DWC systems are among the most efficient hydroponic methods – ideal conditions for strong root systems and explosive vegetation.
Fill buckets with water and nutrients

Tip:
You achieve the greatest increase in performance with water temperature management (optimal 18–21 °C).
