The GHE WaterFarm Grow System is a smaller version of the AquaFarm drip-irrigation system - a hugely popular all-in-one hydroponic unit used by new and experienced growers alike! The WaterFarm is good for when you don't have the space for an AquaFarm. Avoiding water damage: Sometimes, even with the best hydroponic systems, there are times when a seal fails, a pipe can become adrift or a reservoir may burst, which can cause a lot of water to leak onto the floor.
You should plan ahead for what could happen. You can place your system on a Work Tray or Run-off with high sides, or you could use Floor Secure Sheeting to secure your floor in your growing room. You can have it ride up the walls by just a few inches.
This will create a floor-basin that could prevent major water damage in case of an emergency. It is better to be safe than sorry. What the WaterFarm and AquaFarm systems do: The top chamber is filled with clay pebbles and plants are housed there.
Above the reservoir tank, which contains nutrient-enriched waters, is suspended the aquafarm and waterfarm growing chambers. The pump includes an air pump that drives the water solution up the tank through the "pumping columns" and to the drip-ring at top using a "venturi" system. It is then dropped onto clay pebbles.
After the pebbles are removed, the nutrient solution runs through the clay and through the holes at the base of the grow chamber before it is returned to the reservoir. The nutrient solution is infused with enormous amounts of oxygen, which enables the roots to grow exceptionally well. A blue indicator pipe outside the reservoir shows how much nutrient is left.
