IWS 36 Pot Dripper System

🌱 IWS 36 Pot Dripper System — Guide and Product Information

Overview of the IWS dripper system

The IWS 36 Pot Dripper System uses the proven principles behind the IWS Flood and Drain range, but delivers nutrient solution through drippers rather than flood cycles. This makes it a practical choice for growers looking for a structured, centralised feeding system across a larger multi-pot layout.

Designed for efficient irrigation management, the system includes a dedicated IWS minute timer, a main control bucket and the fittings needed to distribute feed across 36 pots. It also offers the ability to remove waste nutrient solution from the growing area to a desired location, helping keep the space tidier and easier to manage.

Key benefits for larger grow spaces

For growers running a higher plant count, consistency is one of the main advantages of a dripper system. The IWS setup helps distribute feed in an organised way, while the included components are chosen to work together as a complete kit.

• ✔ Centralised feeding layout for 36 pots
• ✔ Minute timer designed to handle the large pumps used in dripper technology
• ✔ Waste nutrient removal via the main controller
• ✔ Special pot stands supplied for the dripper assemblies
• ✔ DIG dripper technology allows 12 flood drippers to run from one location

Setup and usage tips

Before installation, plan the pot layout carefully so pipe runs remain neat and accessible. Position the tank and control components where routine inspection is straightforward. Check that all fittings are secure, keep the filter clean, and test the timer settings before running a full feeding cycle. Regular maintenance of drippers, pipework and the pump will help keep the system working as intended.

It is also sensible to confirm that your chosen waste outlet location is suitable before final setup, especially in larger rooms where drainage planning can make day-to-day management easier.

Frequently asked questions

What does the IWS 36 Pot Dripper System do?
This system delivers nutrient solution to plants through drippers rather than flood cycles. It is designed to irrigate 36 pots from a centralised setup and also helps move waste nutrient solution away from the growing area.

Is the timer suitable for this type of system?
Yes. The supplied IWS minute timer is specially designed to run the large pumps used in dripper technology.

How are the drippers arranged?

Can this system help with waste nutrient management?
Yes. All pots can be connected to the main controller, which can pump waste nutrients to a desired location outside the growing area.

As this product sits in both coco and soil kit categories, it is commonly considered for potted growing setups using those media types. Always make sure your chosen medium, pot arrangement and irrigation schedule are appropriate for your overall setup.
