What is Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC)?
Simply put; Recirculating Deep Water Culture is the method of growing plants in nutrient rich, oxygenated water instead of soil. It is a very sustainable method of hydroponic growing. RDWC, or recirculating deep water culture adds additional benefits production yields and plant health. Here at Hydra Unlimited, we can help you with every step of your hydroponic grow through our in-depth support teams, as well as the educational resources provided on this page.Â
Above, you can view a short introduction of Hydra Unlimited and a complete and thorough breakdown of how we're transforming the DWC landscape. We look forward to helping you advance your hydroponic growing opportunities through reliable and quality solutions.
The chiller is not included in the system. Here is a chiller size chart.
The pump is a Danner HyDrive 2600 GPH. This equates to about 9,842 LPH.
The pump is the universal for all systems.
HydraMax utilizes 8 gallon buckets and has a scale on the side of the bucket to help you track how much water your system is holding.
There is no limit to our system's capabilities, we can custom each room and each operation to your specific needs.
The HydraMax pump is a water pump so it can stay in the room. The air is drawn in from the top of the circulators. If you are using CO2, you will want to chain the airlines together and draw from a remote location.
It is recommended you draw air from outside the room if you are using CO2 enrichment.
Each row of the system ends with 1" ball valves to allow you to hook up to a hose and drain entirely.
Yes, within reason. Try not to go over 10′ and keep the hoses as level as possible.
TetraBase is made from 100% recycled Polypropylene. Polypropylene is considered to be the safest of all plastics. It is approved for food and beverage storage. Inherently BPA Free, too!Â
No leaching is not a concern, even when exposed to warm or hot water.
TetraBase was designed with 6 key features that clay balls do not have.
TetraBase is made from the same materials as your buckets and many other parts in the HydraMax System and may be cleaned like any other part. One suggestion would be to place the TetraBase into a mesh bag(s) and add this to a bucket(s) in the system when circulating a cleaning solution through the system.
TetraBase is packaged in 6 liter bags. Not all net pots are created equal and can vary in volume but generally, a 5.5" or 6" net pot holds about 1 Liter of media.
Most of our customers are using bare roots clones which is the best route for transplanting but if you are using cubes, the most important is that the water touches the roots for the first few days. After a few days, you should have some nice growth and can drop the water level.
