Alien Hydroponics V-System Vortex 550W Water Pump — 13800 L/H

Struggling with high nutrient solution temperatures stressing your plants? The Alien Hydroponics V-System Vortex 550W Water Pump is the solution. Engineered specifically as the heart of the Alien V-System, this external, air-cooled pump keeps your reservoir cool and your roots healthy.

By maintaining a cooler water temperature, it ensures optimal nutrient absorption, leading to robust vitality and accelerated growth in systems like the V-System 4 Pot Kit. Its outboard placement also means maintenance is simple, making it a crucial upgrade for any serious Alien Hydroponics setup.

FAQs

Why is an external pump better than a submersible one?+

An external pump like the Vortex 550W is superior because it doesn't transfer motor heat to your nutrient solution. This keeps the water cooler, increases oxygen levels, and prevents root problems, which is critical for healthy growth in DWC hydroponics.

Is this pump compatible with other hydroponic systems?+

This pump is specifically designed and optimized for the Alien Hydroponics V-System to ensure perfect integration and performance. We do not recommend using it with other systems as compatibility is not guaranteed.

What is the flow rate of this pump?+

The Vortex 550W boasts a powerful flow rate of 13,800 liters per hour, ensuring rapid and consistent circulation of nutrient solution. For higher flow requirements, consider the Vortex 750W pump.

How does the air-cooling feature work?+

The pump's motor is cooled by the ambient air around it, rather than the water it's pumping. This simple but effective design prevents the pump from acting like a heater in your reservoir, a common issue with submersible pumps.

Is this pump difficult to install and maintain?+

Not at all. Its external design makes installation straightforward with 5-inch fittings. Maintenance is also much easier than with submersible pumps, as you can access it without having to drain your reservoir or disturb your plants.
