GROWING IN A SYSTEM

DWC

The key to cultivation with deep 

water culture systems lies in the 

oxygenation of the nutrient 

solution and specifically in the 

dissolved oxygen content within 

the nutrient solution.

In each cultivation pot there is a 

porous stone connected to an 

aerator by means of an air distri-

bution line.

Through the porous stone, the 

air released inside the vessel 

moves the solution from the 

bottom upwards, inducing a 

gaseous exchange between air 

and water and loading the latter 

with oxygen.

The high value of dissolved 

oxygen available directly at the 

roots of the plant increases the 

growth processes, accelerating 

development and increasing the 

weight of the crop.

we advise you to view our guide.
