Struggling with high nutrient solution temperatures that stress your plants and risk root rot? The Alien Hydroponics Jet-Stream Vortex Water Pump is the heart of the V-SYSTEM, engineered specifically to solve this problem.
Unlike submersible pumps that add unwanted heat, the Vortex is placed outside the header pot, using innovative air-cooled technology to protect your reservoir. This design ensures your nutrient solution stays cooler, preventing heat stress and creating the perfect environment for maximum nutrient uptake. The result is healthier roots, more vigorous growth, and simplified maintenance. It's the ideal pump for any grower running an Alien Hydroponics V-System DWC setup, ensuring consistent performance across every pot. If your system requires even more power, consider the 1100W Vortex Pump for larger setups.
Prevents heat transfer to your nutrient solution, keeping roots cool and healthy.
Ensures a powerful, consistent circulation of nutrients to every plant in your system.
Sits outside the reservoir to reduce water temperature and simplify access for maintenance.
Purpose-built to be the high-performance engine for all Alien V-SYSTEM hydroponic kits.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Power | 750W |
| Voltage | 120V |
| Flow Rate | 15,000 L/H |
| Fittings | 5-inch |
Alien Hydroponics provides a standard 1-year warranty for pumps.
External pumps like the Vortex 750W are superior because they don't transfer heat to the nutrient solution. Submersible pumps sit in the water and warm it up, which can lead to root problems. This pump's air-cooled design keeps your reservoir at an optimal temperature.
This pump is specifically designed for the Alien Hydroponics V-SYSTEM. While it may be adaptable for custom setups, it is optimized to work with V-SYSTEM components and fittings for guaranteed performance.
The 750W model with its 15,000 L/H flow rate is a powerful option suitable for a wide range of V-SYSTEM configurations, from medium to large setups like the 12-pot DWC kit. For the largest commercial systems, you might consider the more powerful 1100W Vortex Pump.
By keeping the water cool and well-circulated, the pump creates a highly oxygenated environment where roots can thrive. Cooler water holds more dissolved oxygen, which is crucial for the metabolic processes that allow roots to absorb nutrients efficiently.
Not at all. Its external placement makes installation straightforward without needing to place equipment inside your header pot. Maintenance is also much simpler, as you can access the pump directly without disturbing your system.
The V-SYSTEM uses this powerful external pump to create a vortex, rapidly circulating water through the system. Standard RDWC (Recirculating Deep Water Culture) systems typically use smaller inline pumps and air stones for circulation and oxygenation. The V-SYSTEM's method provides exceptionally high levels of dissolved oxygen.
