Ebb and Flow Hydroponics Systems - Low maintainance and bigger yields

Ebb and Flow hydroponics system is appropriate for growers at all levels. It basically uses a submersible pump to make the nutrient solution move from the reservoir to the flood tray. When the pump is switched on, the nutrient solution is pumped inside the flood tray till it reaches a pre-determined level and then it is drained back to the reservoir. The recommended “flood cycle” should be around fifteen minutes every hour. The frequency of flooding the tray is determined by the growing medium used.
