| Ebb & Gro 12 Site Hydro System |
The Ebb & Gro system is a multi-pot hydroponics system that uses (2) two-gallon buckets and Hydroton as a growing medium. The two buckets are nested one on top of the other, the top bucket holds the Hydroton and the lower bucket holds and catches the nutrient water.
The lower buckets have a 1/2” tubing line connected to the bottom that links the 2 gallon “modules” to the controller bucket. The top bucket has a series of holes punched through the bottom, which allows the water to percolate up through the holes when filling or drain back down when in the drain cycle.
When the systems “fills” water is pumped from the 55-gallon reservoir into the controller bucket. The 3-1/2 gallon controller bucket has several float switches installed, which keeps the water at the proper levels during the filling and draining cycles.
As the water flows from the highest point (the controller bucket) to the lowest point (each of the 2 gallon modules) gravity provides the mechanism to ensure that all the buckets are filled to the proper level. As the water enters the bottom of the 2-gallon “catch” bucket under very low pressure, it slowly fills from the bottom of the inner bucket to submerge the roots in freshly circulated nutrient water. In the process, gasses that are expelled by the roots are pushed up and out of the root zone.
Once the water has been distributed to all of the modules, the pump is shut off. A timer controls how long the fill cycle is and how long the drain cycle is.
The system works by connecting all of the grow pots to the controller unit. All necessary tubing and grow rocks are included with the systems. Then you just set the timer to fill and drain the pots about 3 or 4 times a day. When the fill and drain cycle that you set comes on, it turns on the pump in the large reservoir (the 55 gallon blue drum), and starts filling the controller unit. Since the grow pots are all plumbed to the controller unit, the water in the entire system starts to level off with the controller unit.
When the pots are full, and your drain cycle starts, the pump in the controller unit pumps all of the water back into the reservoir. When the level of the water in the controller unit goes down, all of the grow pots levels go down also. Then the controller unit waits for the next fill and drain cycle a few hours later.
