Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series 36L - Recirculating Deep Water Culture System

Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series 36L Puts Bigger Plants on Fewer Sites With Recirculating Deep Water Culture

Please note: most sizes are purchase to order, so they may dispatch separately from the rest of your order. The air pump and reservoir tank are not included.

The Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series 36L is a recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) system built around 36 litre pots linked by 50mm pipe. Plants grow from net pots in the lids with their roots hanging in oxygenated nutrient solution, and the solution flows through every pot and back to the control point, so pH and EC stay even across the whole system. It comes in 4 to 24 pot layouts for growers who want fewer, bigger plants.

Is the Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series Right for Your Setup?

• Growers moving up from single DWC pots: one reservoir and one set of readings instead of checking every bucket.
• Warm grow rooms: the pots and lids are made from heat-reflective silver polymer, and the system is chiller ready.
• Experienced hydro growers: RDWC grows fast but leaves less margin for error than soil or coco, so it suits growers comfortable monitoring pH, EC and water temperature.

New to hydroponics? A bottom-fed AutoPot system or a coco setup is more forgiving while you learn.

How the Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series Works

Each 36L pot is filled with nutrient solution instead of growing media. Only a small amount of clay pebbles in the net pot is needed to anchor the plant. Alien's A.I.R rings (air injection rings) sit in each pot and flood the solution with fine bubbles, so the roots get a constant supply of oxygen.

The pots are joined with Dual-Flow fittings and 50mm silver pipe, so solution circulates through every pot. That means one reservoir to top up, dose and test. Elevated airlines, inline valves and an inline filter keep the plumbing tidy and easy to service, and the header comes with fittings ready for a water chiller.

Contains

• 36L pots, lids, square net pots and pot clips
• Dual-Flow fittings, nuts, collars and washers
• Inline valve and filter
• A.I.R rings, 6mm airline and tees
• 6mm, 16mm, 19mm and 50mm pipe
• Spanner, pipe cutters and instructions

Not included: air pump and reservoir tank. A water chiller is recommended for warm rooms.

About the Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series 36L

• 36 litre pots: plenty of root space for large plants on fewer sites.
• Heat-reflective silver polymer: helps keep nutrient solution cooler, so a chiller works less hard.
• Recirculating design: even pH and EC across every pot from one control point.
• A.I.R rings: high oxygen levels in the root zone.
• Minimal growing media: just a little clay pebble in each net pot, so there's less to buy and less to dispose of.
• Chiller ready: fittings supplied on the header.

How To Use the Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series

1. Plan the layout: space pots at around 60cm centres and put the reservoir where you can reach it easily.
2. Size the air pump: allow about 10 litres per minute per pot, so 40 litres per minute for a 4 pot system and 60 for a 6 pot.
3. Fill and check for leaks: run the system with plain water first and tighten any fittings that weep.
4. Add nutrients: dose the reservoir, then check pH and EC once the solution has circulated.
5. Watch water temperature: warm solution holds less oxygen, so add a chiller if your room runs hot.

FAQs

Does the Alien RDWC Pro Silver Series come with an air pump?
No. Allow about 10 litres per minute of air per pot when choosing one.

What growing media do I need?
Only a small amount of clay pebbles in each net pot to support the plant while roots establish.

Do I need a water chiller?
Not always, but in warm rooms a chiller helps keep solution temperatures down and oxygen levels up. The system is chiller ready.

What else do I need to run it?
A reservoir, an air pump, nutrients and a reliable way to test pH and EC.
