Hydrofarm Root Spa 5 Gal 8 Bucket System

I thought there were more buckets than I wanted but I have managed to fill them up with different vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, okra (not a lover of hydroponics) and eggplants all of which I would like to grow in the winter months. So far it is in the experimental stage. No leaks. Pump set on low is good enough and set on tiles keeps the vibration down. I have also set my timer to half an hour on and half hour off. In the dead of night I set it off for a two to three hours. A similar 4 hole pump Is useful when you need to reduce the buckets to 4 plants. Any airlines that are not set in its own bucket can be redirected into an already set up one by just pushing it through the net holes.

US plug no CE, pump was poorly packed and scratched a bucket open

Someone mentioned these grommet type fittings always end up leaking. I spent 15 years running a 300 gal saltwater tank. These wont leak even if you wiggle or bump them, they are tight. The bucket is tight and forces air through the medium. Cons: If you run air through the viewing tube, you can not tell how much water is in the bucket because the air pushes it back. Do yourself a favor and drill an airline hole above the water line with 1/4 rubber grommet, and drop a 2 inch air stone in it. It works without an air stone, but it will sound like an 8 cylinder engine idling and glugging. If you want a true effervescent spa that can be easily drained and checked.. drill a new hole for an air stone. The included pump can handle x8, 2 inch stones. Works great with washed lava rock, its so fizzy it will mist your glasses from a couple feet away and you wont even realize it. Pros: sturdy buckets, hoses, and connectors. The net pot lid is and exceptionally tough material that fits air tight. The air pump delivers the perfect amount of air for stones or raw bubbles.

Perfect grow system. Super easy to put together and it’s literally all you need to grow hydro. I did elect to add an additional air stone to each bucket but it wasn’t truly needed. Super easy to add. A heads up, Be sure your micro tubing is completely settled into the blue drain tube when assembling. My very large and stalky plants are thriving. 😊 easy to assemble. Good quality and a true value for your money. I was first going to make my own hydro set up but this was actually more cost effective for better quality than the black tub containers I was planning to use. Thank you for the product. 😊😊😊 Very pleased. Would post pictures of how amazing my product is from this system but ehhhhhhhh. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I was hesitant at first about ordering after reading some of the reviews but I must say, this product is very high quality everything was in there that was advertised and nothing was broken or missing from the order I am completely satisfied with this order it will most definitely be ordering from this company again in the future
