IWS Flood & Drain Trident 48x 25L + FlexiTank 400L - an advanced hydroponic irrigation system that periodically floods and drains the pots, providing plants with optimal levels of water, nutrients, and oxygen.
The IWS Trident Flood & Drain System is an advanced hydroponic irrigation system that ensures optimal conditions for plant growth through a timed flooding and draining method. This system utilizes gravity and pressure to fill the pots with nutrient solution and then drain it back into the tank, providing a fresh dose of oxygen and nutrients to the root system each time.
How it works?
After connecting the system, it begins operation when the timer sends a signal to the water control module (brain pot). The control unit activates a pump that transfers the nutrient solution from the reservoir into the pots, flooding them to a specific level (set by a float valve). After a set time, the solution drains back into the reservoir using gravity. This cycle can be repeated multiple times per day depending on the plant stage and medium used.
Advantages:
-
High oxygenation of the root zone thanks to the alternating flood and drain.
-
Full control of watering frequency and duration.
-
Even distribution of nutrients and hydration across all pots.
-
Ideal for use with expanded clay or other inert media.
-
Scalable and easy to expand system – different configurations available with different tanks and number of pots
System configuration:
-
25L outer pots with specially designed Trident base.
-
16L inner mesh pots.
-
Low-voltage control unit with timer and built-in level sensors.
-
Silent submersible pumps (fill and drain).
-
Quality hoses and fittings included in the set.
Tips:
-
The number of floods per day depends on the type of medium and plant size – for clay pebbles: 3–6 cycles, for coco: 2–4.
-
The system works passively, without the need for constant power during the drain cycle.
-
Ideal for both beginners and advanced growers due to intuitive operation and easy maintenance.
The IWS Trident system is a reliable solution for growers who expect high performance and precise control over irrigation cycles, ensuring healthy and abundant plant growth.
