IWS Flood & Drain

Water is the vital factor for all life on Earth. In plants, water is used to transport nutrients and assimilate them through the roots. As a result, optimised water control produces consistent results concerning liveliness and production.

IWS Flood & Drain Systems include an irrigation technique that fills the pot with a nutrient solution from the bottom. As the nutrient solution rises in the container, it forces out the air and saturates the growing media. As the nutrient solution drains from the pot, fresh air is pulled back into the growing media enriching it with oxygen - vital for healthy root growth. Frequent flooding and draining of the pot should occur to optimise the available oxygen in the root zone.
