IWS 6 Pot Dripper System

🌱 IWS 6 Pot Dripper System — Guide and Product Information

Overview of the IWS dripper system

The IWS 6 Pot Dripper System takes the well-known control principles used in the IWS Flood and Drain range and applies them to a dripper-fed growing setup. Instead of flooding the root zone, this system delivers nutrient solution via drippers, helping growers run a tidy and organised irrigation layout across a 6 pot arrangement.

It is designed for growers who want the convenience of a centralised feeding system while also managing waste nutrient solution efficiently. Each pot connects back to the main controller, allowing waste to be pumped away to a suitable location outside the growing area.

Why choose a dripper-fed IWS setup?

Dripper systems are a popular option when you want regular, measured irrigation without hand watering each plant individually. This can make day-to-day feeding more manageable and can help keep your grow room workflow consistent.

The supplied IWS minute timer has been specially designed to run the larger pumps used in dripper technology, making it a practical match for this type of system. The included stands for the dripper assemblies also help keep the layout neat and functional.

• ✔ Centralised 6 pot irrigation layout
• ✔ Dripper delivery rather than flood-style feeding
• ✔ Waste nutrient solution can be directed away from the grow area
• ✔ Built around established IWS control technology

Included system components

This 6 pot kit contains the core parts needed to build a complete IWS dripper setup:

• ✔ 100 ltr tank
• ✔ 7000 ltr per hour water pump
• ✔ High pressure filter
• ✔ IWS minute timer and IWS control bucket
• ✔ 6 outer pots
• ✔ 6 net pots
• ✔ 6 IWS pot stands
• ✔ 6 elbows
• ✔ 6 t-pieces
• ✔ 1 x 12 outlet dripper assembly
• ✔ 10 metres of pipe

Main features and practical benefits

The IWS Dripper System uses leading dripper technology from DIG, allowing up to 12 flood drippers to run from one location rather than having drippers spread all over the grow area. This can make installation more streamlined and can help reduce clutter in the growing space.

For growers comparing different grow systems, this kit offers a practical option where controlled irrigation and waste management are both important. It also sits well within wider grow kits for indoor cultivation setups.

Suitable applications

This system is suitable for growers wanting a 6 pot dripper arrangement for indoor horticulture. It can be used in setups where consistent irrigation and tidy nutrient management are a priority, including spaces using common dripper-friendly media. It may also appeal to growers moving from hand watering to a more automated feeding approach.

Setup and Usage Tips

Position the tank, control bucket and pipe runs before filling the system so you can plan a clean layout. Make sure the dripper lines are routed neatly to each pot stand and that waste drainage is directed to a safe and suitable collection point.

Check the high pressure filter regularly as part of routine maintenance, especially when running nutrient solution through dripper lines. Keeping the system clean can help maintain even flow across the setup. When setting the minute timer, begin conservatively and adjust irrigation frequency according to plant size, media type and growing environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IWS 6 Pot Dripper System used for?
It is used for automated dripper-fed irrigation across a 6 pot growing setup, helping deliver nutrient solution to plants while also managing waste nutrient runoff.

Does this kit include the main components needed to get started?
Yes. The kit includes the tank, pump, high pressure filter, timer, control bucket, pots, fittings, dripper assembly and pipe listed in the specification.

How does this differ from a flood and drain system?
This system feeds plants using drippers rather than flooding the root zone. It uses IWS control technology but applies it to a dripper-based method of nutrient delivery.

Can the system remove waste nutrient solution?
Yes. The pots connect to the main controller, which pumps waste nutrients away to a desired location outside the growing area.

What growing media can it be used with?
It is suitable for media commonly used in dripper setups. As with any irrigation system, feeding frequency and duration should be adjusted to suit the chosen media and plant stage.

Is this suitable for indoor grow rooms?
Yes. It is designed for indoor horticultural environments where growers want a tidy, organised and more automated feeding system.
