Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 28 Pot 4 Row
Struggling to achieve commercial-grade hydroponic results without the complexity of industrial systems? The Alien Hydroponics RDWC 28 Pot 4 Row Kit is your solution, delivering the power of a professional recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) system engineered for maximum growth and operational efficiency. If your space requires a slightly different layout, we also offer the
Alien Hydroponics RDWC 20 Pot 4 Row for smaller footprints or the
Alien Hydroponics RDWC 36 Pot 4 Row for larger commercial environments.
Designed for large-scale commercial growers, licensed producers, and research facilities, this 28-pot system provides an abundance of super-oxygenated nutrient solution directly to the root zone. This creates the ideal conditions for explosive growth, healthier plants, and significantly higher yields. The unique design actively prevents common issues like root clogging and oxygen deficiency that can limit plant development in other DWC systems.
Customize your setup by choosing between 5-gallon (20L) or 9.5-gallon (36L) pots and configuring the header for flexible placement in any grow environment. With a completely tool-free and glue-free assembly, transitioning to professional hydroponics has never been more straightforward.

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?+
The primary advantage is the massive amount of oxygen delivered to the plant roots. The constantly recirculating, super-oxygenated water promotes extremely rapid root growth, leading to healthier plants and significantly larger yields.
Is this 28-pot system suitable for a beginner?+
This system is designed for commercial operations. While assembly is straightforward, beginners may prefer a more compact kit, such as the
Alien Hydroponics RDWC 4 Pot 2 Row, to master the technique before scaling up.
What's the difference between the 20L and 36L pot options?+
The 36L (9.5-gallon) pots hold a larger volume of water and provide more space for root development, making them ideal for growing larger plants and maintaining more stable pH and temperature levels.
How does the Dual-Flow™ fitting prevent clogs?+
The patent-pending Dual-Flow™ fittings are oversized to 2 inches and feature unique slots instead of simple holes. This design allows roots to pass through without blocking the flow of water.
Do I need to buy a separate air pump?+
You have the option to purchase the kit with a matched air pump. If you choose the option without one, you must supply a pump capable of delivering at least 74 GPM (280 LPM) to properly oxygenate all 28 pots.
