Commercial & Bulk Purchasing
We support operations & licensed facilities with volume pricing, dedicated account managers, and custom equipment consultation.
Who This Is For
- You are scaling to a 48-site layout because managing individual reservoirs has become a full-time labor drain.
- You are switching to high-flow RDWC because slow root development in soil is bottlenecking your facility throughput.
- You are investing in silver-polymer pots because rising reservoir temperatures are causing root rot in your current gear.
What We Found
- The silver heat-reflective pipe is the best we have seen for keeping nutrient temps stable without a massive chiller.
- We found the 2-inch dual-flow fittings are essential for commercial runs where roots would otherwise choke a system.
- Threaded connections make cleaning much easier since you can strip the whole 48-pot layout without any cutting tools.
What Users Say
- Commercial growers say the air injection rings produced much thicker root mats compared to standard airstones.
- Operators report that moving to the remote header setup gave them much more room to work in tight aisles.
- Users who switched to this 48-pot system say their nutrient pH stays stable for days with minimal manual adjustment.

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
Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) constantly circulates the nutrient solution, ensuring stable pH, EC, and temperature levels across all pots. This provides a more consistent environment for roots compared to static DWC hydroponics, leading to healthier plants and explosive growth.
This 48-pot system is designed for large-scale commercial operations. For growers with more limited space, Alien Hydroponics offers more compact solutions, such as the RDWC 11 Pot 1 Row system, which provides the same professional technology in a smaller footprint.
No, the Alien Hydroponics RDWC system is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. It features threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, eliminating the need for glue and allowing for quick setup and reconfiguration.
The patent-pending 2" Dual-Flow™ fittings are oversized and have unique slots that significantly reduce the risk of root clogging. This ensures a consistent and uninterrupted flow of oxygenated nutrient solution to every plant in the system.
The RDWC system submerges roots in a highly oxygenated, recirculating nutrient solution, ideal for maximum growth speed. In contrast, the Alien RAIN System is a top-feeding drip system that mimics natural rainfall, offering a different approach to nutrient delivery. Both are excellent choices depending on your growing style.
The kit is available with or without a high-powered air pump. If you choose the option without one, you will need to supply your own pump capable of delivering at least 126.8 gallons (480 liters) of air per minute to power the JET-STREAM A.I.R.™ rings effectively.
