Active Aqua Grow Flow 12 Site Ebb and Flow Kit | 7 Gal Controller

What Comes in the Active Aqua Grow Flow Twelve Site Kit

This is a complete system rather than a starting point. The box holds a 7 gallon controller module, a 55 gallon distribution reservoir and two 250 GPH high-flow pumps. Add 12 five gallon bucket modules and all the 3/4 in tubing and fittings to link them. Pumps run on 120V, and the warranty runs three years. Each growing module is an outer bucket with an inner bucket inside it, so a plant lifts out without draining the site first. The fail-safe is the part that sets this apart. An adjustable float ladder drives an emergency shut-off valve and an LED indicator, closing the system down if the float sticks. Twelve sites is a lot of plumbing to commission, and the first fill is where leaks show up.

How an Ebb and Flow Hydroponic System Behaves Once Running

An ebb and flow hydroponic system only runs its pumps for a few minutes per cycle. That is why these stay reliable, and why the draw is nothing like a recirculating setup. Solution floods the modules from the controller, sits long enough for the media to take it up, then drains back. Set the fill and drain times once and the controller repeats them. The inner bucket is the detail growers appreciate at harvest, because pulling a plant is a lift rather than a dismantling job. One controller handles up to twenty four modules, so the twelve here is half its capacity and expansion kits add six at a time. Media choice matters: clay pebbles drain in seconds, while coco in a flood system stays wet longer than most people intend.

Key Features

• Twelve complete growing modules: Each site is an outer and inner bucket, so plants lift out without draining.
• 7 gallon controller module: Runs fill and drain times on a schedule you set once and leave alone.
• 55 gallon distribution reservoir: Enough volume to flood twelve sites without the level swinging wildly.
• Two 250 GPH high flow pumps: Short run times per cycle, which is where the reliability comes from.
• Fail-safe overflow protection: An emergency shut-off valve and LED alarm if the float valve stops working.
• Expandable to 24 modules: One controller covers twice this site count as the room grows.
• Three year warranty: Stated cover on a system that is mostly plumbing and two pumps.
