Who This Is For
- You are switching to a recirculating setup because manual bucket checks consume too much of your maintenance time.
- You are adding high-pressure air rings because your current stone diffusers keep clogging and stalling root development.
- You are moving to silver polymer pots because light absorption in your black buckets is driving nutrient temps too high.
What We Found
- The silver polymer lids actually work to keep solution temperatures down without needing a massive industrial chiller.
- We like the oversized 2 inch fittings because they prevent the thick root masses that typically clog smaller systems.
- The included pipe cutter is surprisingly high quality and makes getting clean, leak-free seals much easier during setup.
What Users Say
- Growers who swapped manual buckets for this system say they stopped spending hours every week balancing individual pots.
- Users found the remote header allowed them to manage nutrients outside the tent without disrupting the environment.
- Owners who chose the 36L pots report they can go longer between reservoir top-offs during the peak of the growth cycle.
Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 5 Pot 1 Row
Are you struggling to maintain consistent nutrient levels and oxygenation across your deep water culture setup? The Alien Hydroponics RDWC 5 Pot 1 Row system solves the challenges of manual bucket management by providing a commercial-grade recirculating environment in a compact footprint. It is the ideal solution for growers who want to maximize yields and plant health in limited spaces without the complexity of commercial-scale setups.
This advanced RDWC hydroponic system provides a constant flow of super-oxygenated nutrient solution directly to the root zone, creating the perfect environment for explosive growth and significantly faster development. The unique design prevents common issues like root clogging and oxygen deficiency, ensuring your plants stay healthy and thrive. Whether you are an intermediate grower or a home cultivator looking to upgrade, this system makes high-performance hydroponics accessible. If you need to scale your garden, consider the 2-pot version or the 6-pot 1-row configuration.
Choose between 5-gallon (20L) or 9.5-gallon (36L) pots and configure the system with a compact or remote header for ultimate flexibility in any grow tent or room. With a tool-free, no-glue assembly, you can get set up and growing in no time.

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
RDWC constantly circulates the nutrient solution between all pots. This maintains stable pH, EC, and temperature levels across the entire system, leading to more consistent growth compared to isolated DWC buckets.
No. The Alien Hydroponics RDWC system is designed for tool-free assembly using threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, so no gluing is required.
You can purchase the kit with an Air Pump 8, or supply your own. If using your own, ensure it delivers at least 13.2 gal/min (50 L/min) for this 5-pot system.
This system features oversized 2" Dual-Flow™ fittings. Their slotted design allows roots to pass through without causing blockages, ensuring uninterrupted flow.
Yes, the modular design allows you to add more pots or reconfigure the layout. You can even upgrade to a larger 8-pot system in the future.
