I had to put this together twice to get it right. The instructions are ok, but since the parts are not labeled, it is really difficult to tell what part is supposed to go where until you assemble it wrong once. The pump worked fine when there were no roots in the tubes, but as soon as the plants started to significantly grow, the roots blocked the water flow and there became dry areas in the structure. I bought a stronger pump on Amazon and it immediately solved the problem. Now there is plenty of water flow again for all the plants.

I raise the platform on which the system sets 5 inches higher to be able to use a food grade black 5 gallon bucket with lid.

This is my second set of hydraulic system for my back yard. I did use pvc glue for joint and stand. With high end pvc very strong for stand. I place this setup right next to my fish pond it work as it is.

Love the product, I have it for over a month and veggies are thriving. Thinking of getting a second one. Works very well, the square pods are a good perk. It is easy to put together (requires a bit strenght to tight tge fittings snugg). Overall, very satisfied!

Great setup!

Muchos decian que perdia agua o no era fácil de montar, pero la verdad es que esta super bien, para cosas pequeñas como fresas, solo recomiendo al fabricante que lo haga de 3 pulgadas y libre de montar en la posición que uno quiera y lo vendera por miles

I have used this and a similar brand for several cycles now and have had great luck with it. I will say that if your new to hydro there is definitely a learning curve, and nutrient film might not be the best place to start. But i will say that for growing lettuce like I do, this thing is amazing! I will say do your research on what to grow as many things are NOT well suited for a nutrient film growing medium, so a majority of failures people have are from growing inappropriate crops! it is well constructed and has no leaks and works exactly like it is suppose to. There are a few adjustments and tweaks you will need to do to get it working optimally, but other than that i really like this setup for the money. I am happy with my purchase and am planning on buying more of them when i expand my deck as they work well both in doors and outdoors, i just don't have any more room at the moment!

Super easy to setup and get going. I had a minor problem with the hookup but it was the crummy hose I was using from my house. Replaced the end and everything was fine. Running great and looking forward to a plant filled winter.

This thing is great. Lots of plants with a wonderful taste you won’t get in a store bought vegetables.Did not come with the timer controlled pump. I had to buy that extra.All in all not bad.

This is a simple yet very effective hydroponics system with very little maintenance. It is very cost effective. It would cost me more to build this system myself, and I don’t think it will look as nice as this. The set has everything needed to have a complete system. The pump also comes In the set. I like to have a faster water flow for more oxygen circulation and add another cheap $20 pump to run together with the other one. It will also serve as a redundant safeguard in case one fails. Overall great product.
