IWS 12 Pot Dripper System

🌱 IWS 12 Pot Dripper System — Guide and Product Information

The IWS 12 Pot Dripper System combines the trusted control approach of the IWS range with dripper-fed irrigation for growers who want a tidy, centralised way to feed multiple pots. Rather than relying on separate drippers placed throughout the growing area, this system uses DIG dripper technology to run 12 flood drippers from one location, helping keep the layout neater and easier to manage.

This complete kit is designed to deliver nutrient solution efficiently while also allowing waste nutrients to be pumped away to a desired location outside the grow area. That makes it a practical choice for growers looking for organised irrigation and cleaner day-to-day system management.

💧 How the IWS dripper system works

The system uses a central reservoir, control bucket and pump setup to distribute nutrient solution to each pot through dripper assemblies. A specially designed IWS minute timer is included to control the larger pumps typically used in dripper technology. Each pot can be connected back to the main controller, allowing waste nutrient solution to be removed from the growing space rather than left to build up around the pots.

🛠️ Setup and Usage Tips

Position the 220 litre tank on a stable, level surface and plan pot spacing before cutting pipe runs. Make sure the control bucket and waste route are installed neatly so used nutrient solution can be directed away from the growing area as intended. Use the supplied high pressure filter to help protect the dripper assemblies from blockage, and regularly check dripper outlets, pipe connections and fittings during operation. When first setting up, test the full system with water before adding nutrients so you can confirm flow and drainage across all 12 pot positions.
