    SYSTEM TESTING STEP 3 SYSTEM TESTING Now that your system has been assembled let’s proceed with the testing of the system before starting with load the solution and start growing. 1) FITTING. Make sure you have tightened all the threaded fittings across the RETURN HOSE 16MM from the IN LINE FILTER KIT to the WATER PUMP.
  • Page 35 2) GASKETS and PIPES CONNECTION : Fill the system with water until the connecting pipe will be covered 1 cm. Switch on the water pump and wait for about 15 min, let the water circulate throughout the system and look for any water leak. If you recognize a leak go to the TROUBLESHOOTING CHART and find the right way for fixing it.
  • Page 36 SYSTEM TESTING 4) AIR DISTRIBUTION: connect the air pump to the power supply and check that all the air stone works fine. 5) FILL TEH SYSTEM : Fill the system with water up to the level of the bottom of the net pots. 6) Test.
  • Page 37 7) NUTRIENT SOLUTION: now you are ready to make your nutrient solution. Use the control pot for ceck your EC and pH level . Calibrate the solution as needed by placing fertilizers or pH regulators in the control pot. Let the solution circulate inside the system and let the EC and pH values stabilize, then double check and correct if needed NB: choose your cultivation range well, on our website you can find a wide choice of fertilizers, additives and tools, as well as tutorials for...

  • Page 46 RDWC HOW DOES IT WORK? RDWC HOW DOES IT WORK? DWC, aka Deep Water Culture is one of the best performing methods for growing hydroponic plants. The plant grows with the roots immersed in a nutrient solution constantly oxygenated by an air pump. The high value of dissolved oxygen available directly to the plant’s roots increases growth processes, accelerating deve- lopment and increasing the weight of the crop.
  • Page 47 GROWING IN A SYSTEM The key to cultivation with deep water culture systems lies in the oxygenation nutrient solution and specifically in the dissolved oxygen content within the nutrient solution. In each cultivation pot there is a porous stone connected to an aerator by means of an air distri- bution line.
