Alien Hydroponics V-System Vortex 180W Water Pump — 10800 L/H

Struggling with high nutrient solution temperatures in your hydroponic setup? The Alien Hydroponics V-System Vortex Water Pump is the solution, engineered to deliver powerful circulation without adding unwanted heat. Its innovative external, air-cooled design is a game-changer for maintaining a stable and cool reservoir.

By positioning the pump outside the header pot, it prevents heat transfer to your nutrient solution, protecting your plants' delicate roots from stress and the risk of root rot. This design, a hallmark of the Alien Hydroponics lineup, ensures that your water stays cooler, which significantly improves oxygen levels and nutrient uptake. The result is healthier plants, robust vitality, and accelerated growth cycles. This pump is the ideal heart for any V-System, from smaller setups like the 4-pot system to larger configurations. Plus, its outboard placement makes routine checks and maintenance completely hassle-free.

FAQs

Is this a submersible pump?+

No, the V-System Vortex pump is specifically designed for external (outboard) use. This is a key feature that prevents it from transferring heat to your nutrient solution, keeping your reservoir cool and your roots healthy.

What hydroponic system is this pump designed for?+

This pump is the official powerhouse for the Alien Hydroponics V-System. It provides the perfect flow rate and pressure for these set-ups, whether you are running a smaller 4-pot system or a larger commercial configuration.

What is the flow rate of the 180W Vortex pump?+

This model boasts a powerful flow rate of 10,800 liters per hour (L/H), ensuring rapid and thorough circulation. If your system requires a different flow rate, Alien offers other models like the 250W Vortex Pump.

Can I use this pump with a different brand or a DIY system?+

While optimized for the V-System, its high performance and external design make it a great choice for large-scale custom or DIY DWC hydroponic systems that need a reliable, high-flow pump that won't heat the water.

Why is an external, air-cooled pump better than a standard submersible one?+

An external pump offers two main advantages. First, it doesn't sit in your reservoir, eliminating heat transfer and keeping water cooler for better oxygenation. Second, it's much easier to access for cleaning and maintenance without disturbing your system.
