Compact Water Chiller - 1 HP

During the summer months tap water and nutrient solution temperatures can easily reach above 80°F. This can pose a problem with nutrient uptake and also increasing the chance of root rot outbreaks. Hydroponic Systems can also heat up due to high-intensity lighting, pump heat or during hot summer months. For maximum production and highest dissolved oxygen, the nutrient solution temperature should remain between 68 and 75°F. The Eco Plus Water Chiller will help hydroponic gardeners to achieve this optimal temperature range with its internal micro computer and digital LCD display for easy operation. The efficiency of this unit it outstanding and is capable of lowering the temperature of 220 gallons of water by - 30°F. The corrosion-resistant titanium heat exchanger is ideally suited for hydroponic nutrient solutions.

Dual Diaphragm Air Pump

The General Hydroponics Dual Diaphragm Air Pump is the strongest air pump we sell, capable of delivering a powerful stream of air to four separate locations using the included fully-adjustable 4-way gang valve. This air pump is heavy-duty with quality construction throughout. Most parts, including the gang valve, are constructed of metal, not plastic like most other brands. The pump also utilizes rubber vibration dampening bushings for smooth, quiet operation.

An air pump used in conjunction with an air stone is an excellent way to add oxygen to the nutrient solution in your hydroponic growing system. This will result in a healthy root system and increased growth rates.

LED tubes

Different plants absorb different wavelength light. For example, plants with red and yellow leaves, such as maple, absorb more blue light (wavelength: 450nm-480nm), but reflect most red and yellow light. Furthermore, plants need different wavelength light for different periods.

Specifications:

• Brand New in Retail Package and Ready to Ship
• Power Supply: 110-120V
• LED Bulbs Power: 1 watt x 90
• Red LED Wavelength: 660nm
• Blue LED Wavelength: 470nm
• Built-in 3 Cooling Fans

Electrical appliances in a hydroponics farm

Electrical appliances is essential for a hydroponics farm. Let us look at the different energy consumption of electrical appliances in a hydroponics farm.

Hydroponic Farming

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, without soil. It uses high-technology electrical appliances and it is environment-friendly. The products of hydroponic farming is both high-quality and high-quantity. Pesticides is also not used in hydroponic farming.
