The Active Aqua Root Spa is a 5-gallon bucket deep water culture (DWC) system that is so simple yet grows large plants efficiently. After a very short time, you will realize the advantage of the simplicity of this uniquely easy-to-use, inexpensive, and forgiving system! Pumping raw air into the nutrient solution, without the need of expensive and often troublesome air stones is not only cost effective, but your plants will also thrive.
- Water tight seal to guarantee no leaks.
- 20-cm (8-inch) bucket basket to hold your choice of growing medium.
- Multi-purpose air hose delivers air from the pump to the bottom of the bucket.
- Air pump to oxygenate your water to encourage root growth.
- 1/2" grommet fitting.
- 1/2" elbow fitting.
- 1/4" black tubing.
You can use your choice of hydroponic media, such as clay pebbles, #4 perlite, rockwool mini cubes, coco chips, etc. Since this is a hydroponics system, soil should be avoided. Soil may contain dust, fungi, and bacteria, all of which can contaminate a hydroponics system (media sold separately).
NOTE: Setup of the multi-bucket Active Aqua Root Spa system is the same as that of the single-bucket system, with the main difference that the multi-bucket system uses a multi-output air pump, while the single-bucket Root Spa systems use a single dedicated air pump.
