VIVOSUN DWC Hydroponics Grow System with Top Drip Kit, 5-Gallon Deep Water Culture, Recirculating Drip Garden System with Multi-Purpose Air Hose, Air Pump, and Air Stone (1 Bucket + Top Drip Kit)

Take your time put everything together slowly. Works great, zero leaks, 2 months usage so far. Roots look great, top drip beats dwc without it.

Forget raising your suspiciously-fast-growing plant in soil or coco. It craves a constant stream of water, nutrients, and oxygen. A DWC system is exactly what your plant wants, and you'll find yourself growing a jungle if you let it get it out of hand. The engineering is well thought and simple: the air pump pushes air into the tubes, which in turn moves the water up and oxygenates it. The assembly was not hard, but took a few minutes of focus and precision to get the tubes hooked up right. Put this bucket system in a Vivosun grow tent, with a big grow light and some good genetics, and you'll be growing the most potent medicine in the neighborhood.

Easy to assemble and operate. Don't even need the instructions if you are familiar with how Hydro works. The booklet it comes with is very informative and has everything you will need to produce a successful crop other than seeds and water. Stay on top of your PH and PPM daily for best results! Be careful with the top drip function as it can Overwater if you run it on high all the time. I installed all the flow valves (they give you 4) onto those top drip lines so I can control the amount of water being released from the top. You will want to do the same thing with those valves. DO NOT place them on the line going to the airstone! No need to control that airflow as you want it on maximum all the time to give your plants plenty of fresh O2. Overall, great starter kit and would buy again and recommend. The ONLY complaint I have is that the (2) airlines should have gone through the top basket/ lid, instead of the side of the bucket. When you lift the top off to change water, it would have been easier to have everything also come out with it (the airstone line and top drip line) so the roots are unmolested. With the lines in the side of the bucket as they come, the roots will tangle into those lines and give you some headaches if that happens imo.

Worked perfectly Can't recommend enough. Used for several plants and 2 tents now.

Couple things to make sure you have success. 1/ The side reservoirs that have the ball to measure water depth will leak everywhere if you don’t snap them all the way in. Push till it clicks in and no leaks. Test assembly with water before you add your solution. 2/ I put a small piece of white electrical tape under the blue tube at where I wanted the water level so I can easily know if the water needed topping. You want about 4 gallons in the bucket with the rest of the space air gap for the bucket. 3/ the halo that sprays water shouldn’t be left on. Leaving on 24/7 seemed to overwater. I just turned off via the blue valves. I sprayed the clay with a mister instead. 4/ The tubing goes in holes in the bottom bucket not from the top lid so no easy way to empty and refill solution. I ended up buying a cheap battery operated fuel pump that I use to first drain and then refill the buckets. Having 4 separate buckets with no central reservoir keeps each plant isolated but creates extra work monitoring each site. For the price, this works well. For $250 more you could get a system with reservoir and circulating solution. Having central reservoir enables one place to monitor PHP, run a chiller if needed, and add nutrients.

Nice setup, and very easy to use. Grew nice tomatoes and bell peppers over the winter. P.S. just a side note. When dumping out the water cover the sight tube opening so you don't lose the ball float . I pushed a needle through the top of the tube so I didn't lose the other. The ball is really not needed just makes it a little easier to see water level. Anyways , For beginners wanting to try dwc this is a great starter . Just make sure to read up on ph , feeding ect with hydro before trying its a lot different than soil.

Extremely Unhappy with your DWC Hydroponic System The following is the message I sent to Vivosun about their DWC system. BTW, it took a while to figure out how to send it because when you click on Product Support, it doesn't take you to product support. It takes you to a page with a few items about how to use the product. Luckily, (or so I thought), it has a link to their Product Support Page. Too bad that doesn't take you to their product support page either. It takes you to their main sales page of all their products. I never did find a support page, but I did figure out how to send them an email. Here it is: Sirs, I purchased your two-bucket DWC Hydroponic System from Amazon. As I'm sure you know, the parts do not all fit together properly. Specifically, the tube attaching to the Water Level Tube does not fit very well. The other parts accept the tube because they are tapered and/or smaller. It took me an hour to attach each Water Level Tube and only by using other tools, Vaseline, and hot water. Worse than that, several of your parts failed before installation. Specifically, the sealing rings are bad and easily separate into two pieces. One of them was already that way before I opened the bag containing them. If I remember correctly, three more of them fell apart trying to install them. Right now, I have a bad leak in one bucket caused by the failure of the sealing rings, but both buckets were assembled with bad sealing rings because that is all I had to work with. Therefore, I cannot trust either bucket. Send me 8 new sealing rings so I can replace all of them. Send me two Water Level Tubes that actually fit the rubber tubing. Have the new parts delivered within a week. I'm not a vindictive man. Check my reviews on Amazon, and you will find that the great majority are 5 star reviews, and none of them are as angry and upset as I am at the moment. So if you want me to amend my current one star review on Amazon, you had better get me my new parts right away. .

I'll note the title first. I setup the airpump outside my grow tent on a shelf. It's an incredibly large tent so the Included amount of airline was not enough for what I wanted to accomplish, no fault of the kit. Everything is included for success minus nutrients. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the kit. It would have cost me more to purchase everything individually and make it just as nice including the drip ring. Yes the air pump is more then enough to oxygenate the water plus run the included drip ring. I found I needed to turn the flow to the drip ring down that's running the largest 8 bucket kit and included pump. Proof is in the pictures it works for picky vegetables so I can only imagine it will be perfect for cannabis if legal in your country for personal use/growth. I'm going to actually try and grow some genuine wasabi in these kits as the drip ring puts out enough water to mimic a running brook. 5/5 stars it's "expensive" but you get everything you need and it just works. Thank you! 👍

Nicht falsch verstehen der Topf ist in Ordnung, aber bei einem 3-stelligen Preis hätte zwingen auch ein paar Hydroanzuchttöpfe mit Inhalt dazu gehört. So ist es ein teures NICHT direkt nutzbares Set. Meins geht definitiv wieder zurück, für so eine Mogelpackung schmeiß ich kein Geld aus dem Fenster.

Easy to set up and maintain. Everything you need

Took 10-15 mins to set up, with just a pair of scissors as the only tool. Instructions were easy to follow and results are great so far! One cherry tomato and one Fresno chili plant.

Do what is suppose to do.
