VIVOSUN DWC Hydroponics Grow System with Top Drip Kit, 5-Gallon Deep Water Culture, Recirculating Drip Garden System with Multi-Purpose Air Hose, Air Pump, and Air Stone (4 Buckets + Top Drip Kit)

I had a lot of fun with this kit it definithas everything to get started let’s go! extremely easy to use set up. Everything fit perfectly worked beautiful great quality definitely the value for the money definitely worth it had a lot of fun. Great DWC set up.

Take your time put everything together slowly. Works great, zero leaks, 2 months usage so far. Roots look great, top drip beats dwc without it.

It was easy enough to assemble. I followed the instructions, which were very clear and thorough, and had no real issues. Trying to get the black hose over some of those connections was really tough until I thought to put the hose in a cup of hot water before trying to make the connection. Doing that made it A LOT easier. I'm a little disappointed in the little valves you use to control the flow to the watering ring. They don't seem to have a lot of play. The blue knob only turns about a quarter turn, and so the watering system is either on, or off -- no play to make it half-power. I would change those if I could. Make sure that the blue tube is completely seated, and the bend that it goes in is completely seated in the bucket. I had a couple of leaks when I added water. Even though the buckets hold 5 gallons, you'll only need to put 4 in each. 4 gallons will give you water up to the bottom of the growing basket. All in all, I guess it was easier to click once than it was to buy all of the individual parts, but I don't think it was more economical.

Kept reading reviews of people saying the air pump was gonna be super loud and will need to be replaced. When I plugged it in without anything else connected, it was super loud. However, once all the tubing and connections were made, it's actually as silent as all my other aquarium air pumps. So instead of having to replace the air pump, it's sitting happily in my tent pumping doing its job. I did not like that some of the holes for tubing were on the bucket instead of the lid, so i simply drilled 2 holes on the lid for the air pump and water recycle tubes. I then used regular tubing to fill the two unused holes on the bucket so that there wouldnt be any leaks. Very happy with this system. Have everything I need. I did order some extra buckets to help with water changes every so often, as the lids work on any 5 gallon bucket.

Forget raising your suspiciously-fast-growing plant in soil or coco. It craves a constant stream of water, nutrients, and oxygen. A DWC system is exactly what your plant wants, and you'll find yourself growing a jungle if you let it get it out of hand. The engineering is well thought and simple: the air pump pushes air into the tubes, which in turn moves the water up and oxygenates it. The assembly was not hard, but took a few minutes of focus and precision to get the tubes hooked up right. Put this bucket system in a Vivosun grow tent, with a big grow light and some good genetics, and you'll be growing the most potent medicine in the neighborhood.

This is my first hydroponics kit. It works great. I had difficulty getting the tubes connected on some areas. I know they want a tight fit but wondered if this could be improved. So far so good I have seedlings growing in them.

Extremely Unhappy with your DWC Hydroponic System The following is the message I sent to Vivosun about their DWC system. BTW, it took a while to figure out how to send it because when you click on Product Support, it doesn't take you to product support. It takes you to a page with a few items about how to use the product. Luckily, (or so I thought), it has a link to their Product Support Page. Too bad that doesn't take you to their product support page either. It takes you to their main sales page of all their products. I never did find a support page, but I did figure out how to send them an email. Here it is: Sirs, I purchased your two-bucket DWC Hydroponic System from Amazon. As I'm sure you know, the parts do not all fit together properly. Specifically, the tube attaching to the Water Level Tube does not fit very well. The other parts accept the tube because they are tapered and/or smaller. It took me an hour to attach each Water Level Tube and only by using other tools, Vaseline, and hot water. Worse than that, several of your parts failed before installation. Specifically, the sealing rings are bad and easily separate into two pieces. One of them was already that way before I opened the bag containing them. If I remember correctly, three more of them fell apart trying to install them. Right now, I have a bad leak in one bucket caused by the failure of the sealing rings, but both buckets were assembled with bad sealing rings because that is all I had to work with. Therefore, I cannot trust either bucket. Send me 8 new sealing rings so I can replace all of them. Send me two Water Level Tubes that actually fit the rubber tubing. Have the new parts delivered within a week. I'm not a vindictive man. Check my reviews on Amazon, and you will find that the great majority are 5 star reviews, and none of them are as angry and upset as I am at the moment. So if you want me to amend my current one star review on Amazon, you had better get me my new parts right away. .

I'll note the title first. I setup the airpump outside my grow tent on a shelf. It's an incredibly large tent so the Included amount of airline was not enough for what I wanted to accomplish, no fault of the kit. Everything is included for success minus nutrients. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the kit. It would have cost me more to purchase everything individually and make it just as nice including the drip ring. Yes the air pump is more then enough to oxygenate the water plus run the included drip ring. I found I needed to turn the flow to the drip ring down that's running the largest 8 bucket kit and included pump. Proof is in the pictures it works for picky vegetables so I can only imagine it will be perfect for cannabis if legal in your country for personal use/growth. I'm going to actually try and grow some genuine wasabi in these kits as the drip ring puts out enough water to mimic a running brook. 5/5 stars it's "expensive" but you get everything you need and it just works. Thank you! 👍

Nicht falsch verstehen der Topf ist in Ordnung, aber bei einem 3-stelligen Preis hätte zwingen auch ein paar Hydroanzuchttöpfe mit Inhalt dazu gehört. So ist es ein teures NICHT direkt nutzbares Set. Meins geht definitiv wieder zurück, für so eine Mogelpackung schmeiß ich kein Geld aus dem Fenster.

Easy to set up and maintain. Everything you need

Took 10-15 mins to set up, with just a pair of scissors as the only tool. Instructions were easy to follow and results are great so far! One cherry tomato and one Fresno chili plant.

Do what is suppose to do.
