Who This Is For
- You are moving to a 10-pot RDWC because your current drain-to-waste setup is wasting too many expensive nutrients.
- You are installing a recirculating system because manual feeding is consuming hours of your daily maintenance time.
- You are upgrading to silver pots because heat spikes in your reservoir are causing root stress during summer months.
What We Found
- Those oversized 2 inch fittings are the reason we rarely see root clogs even during the peak of the bloom cycle.
- The silver polymer construction actually works to keep reservoir temps several degrees lower than standard black pots.
- We suggest the remote header option for anyone who wants to check pH and EC without stepping into the grow area.
What Users Say
- Switching from standard DWC stopped the pH swings that customers used to fight on a daily basis.
- Users with thick root masses report that the dual flow pipes keep nutrients moving without any blockages.
- Choosing the 36L pots provides a significant safety buffer for the crop if a pump happens to fail.
Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 10 Pot 1 Row
Tired of hydroponic systems that promise big but under-deliver? The Alien Hydroponics RDWC 10 Pot 1 Row kit is engineered to solve common growing problems, delivering professional-grade recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) performance in a streamlined, efficient package.
Designed for dedicated home growers and boutique commercial operations, this 10-pot system creates the ultimate environment for explosive growth. By constantly circulating a super-oxygenated nutrient solution directly to the root zone, it eliminates the risk of stagnant water and oxygen deficiency. The result is accelerated vegetative growth, healthier root systems, and significantly larger yields. The entire Alien Hydroponics lineup is designed for performance, and this kit is no exception. It's fully customizable to your space, and if your needs change, it's easy to adapt. If your space requires a different layout, consider the 8-pot version or the larger 12-pot system.

Setup and Maintenance
System Setup Steps:
1. Prepare Pots
Attach the necessary fittings to the pots.
2. Connect the System
Use piping to connect the pots and the header pot to establish the recirculating network.
3. Install Air System
Set up the air pump and connect it to the air stones in the pots.
4. Integrate Pumps
Install the water pump(s) for recirculation and chilling (if applicable).
5. Set Up Nutrient Tank
Connect the nutrient tank to the system.
6. Fill the System
Add water to the system.
Maintenance Tips:
- Maintain water temperature between 18-20°C (64-68°F).
- Add nutrients to the system and allow for recirculation before testing and adjusting.
- When planting, use a substrate layer in the net pot, water the cutting, and fill the remaining space with substrate.
- Fill the system using a hose, ensuring the correct level before turning on the pump.
- Drain the system as needed by connecting a pipe to the designated fitting.
- Use preventative solutions to maintain root health and system cleanliness.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of an RDWC system?
A Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) system constantly circulates highly oxygenated water and nutrients past your plants' roots. This process, known as lateral root pruning, encourages explosive root growth and drastically increases nutrient uptake, leading to faster growth cycles and larger, healthier yields compared to many other methods.
How is this system different from the Alien V-SYSTEM?
The key difference is the oxygenation method. This RDWC system uses JET-STREAM A.I.R.™ rings to inject air directly into each pot. In contrast, the V-SYSTEM uses a silent Venturi effect to draw oxygen into the water as it's pumped through the system. Both are highly effective, but the RDWC is geared for maximum air injection, while the V-SYSTEM is prized for its silent operation.
Is this hydroponic system difficult to set up?
No, it's designed for easy assembly. The Alien RDWC system features threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, which means there's no gluing required. This makes setup, breakdown, and reconfiguration quick and simple for growers of any experience level.
What size air pump do I need if I buy the kit without one?
If you choose the option without the included air pump, you will need to supply your own. We recommend a high-quality air pump capable of delivering a minimum of 26.4 gallons per minute (100 liters/minute) or 1585 gallons per hour to ensure adequate oxygenation for all 10 pots.
Can I expand or change the layout of this system later?
Absolutely. The system is fully modular, giving you the flexibility to customize pot spacing to fit your plants and grow space perfectly. If you need to scale up, you can explore other configurations like the 12 Pot 1 Row RDWC system or add components to expand your current setup.
How does the system prevent root clogging?
The RDWC system uses patent-pending, oversized 2-inch Dual-Flow™ fittings. These are significantly larger than fittings on many standard systems and are designed with slots that allow water to flow freely while preventing roots from entering and causing blockages, ensuring your system runs smoothly.
