IWS Flood & Drain Standard

IWS Flood & Drain Standard: The Ideal Entry-Level Flood & Drain System
Efficient, Automated Feeding for Consistent, High-Quality Growth with Minimal Effort.

Introduction

The IWS Flood & Drain is a complete, modular nutrient delivery solution that adapts to nearly any grow space. Designed for flexibility, pots can be easily added, removed, or rearranged to fit your needs. This fully automated system makes caring for multiple plants simple and effective, delivering exceptional results while minimizing effort. Trusted by growers for over a decade, the IWS Flood & Drain is known for its ease of setup, reliable automation, and precise control over feed times, making plant care effortless.

Included with the system is the custom-designed IWS FlexiTank. Tested for durability, the FlexiTank offers all the benefits of a traditional water butt but can be collapsed for convenient storage in tight spaces.

How It Works

Nutrient solution is pumped from the FlexiTank to the IWS Control Unit, which operates according to settings programmed into the IWS Timer. The Control Unit is connected to the pots in the system via pipework. When the Control Unit activates, it fills the pots with nutrient solution until the float valve inside the unit is engaged, halting the flow. This prevents overfilling, as the float is set at the same height as the top of the pots.

Each pot has two parts: an outer pot and an inner pot. The outer pot connects to the pipework, while the inner pot, which contains the substrate and root mass, sits inside it. This design allows the roots to come in contact with the nutrient solution while keeping the media contained within the inner pot.

Why Choose Flood & Drain?

• Efficient Nutrient Delivery: Flood & Drain systems provide a highly effective way to deliver nutrients directly to the root zone. The flooding process saturates the roots, allowing for optimal nutrient absorption. As the system drains, fresh oxygen is introduced, which promotes healthy root growth and maximizes nutrient uptake.

• Prevention of Waterlogging: By flooding and draining at set intervals, the system prevents waterlogging and root diseases. This process helps maintain oxygen levels in the root zone, supporting healthy plant growth.

• Low Maintenance: Once set up, the Flood & Drain system requires minimal management. After adjusting the timer, it can run autonomously for weeks, requiring little attention and only occasional water replacement in the FlexiTank.

• Automation & Control: Ideal for indoor environments, the system is easy to automate. Timers can be programmed to control flood frequency and duration, ensuring consistent and precise nutrient delivery for your plants.

• Versatility: The IWS Flood & Drain system is compatible with a wide range of growing media and can support anywhere from 6 to 48 pots. This versatility makes it suitable for various indoor setups, even with limited space.

• Easy Maintenance: With its straightforward design, the system is easy to maintain and clean, reducing the risk of plant diseases and promoting a healthier growing environment.
