Description
Vortex oxygenation for stronger roots, no air pump required
The ALIEN V-System 4 Pot is a compact RDWC-style hydroponic system built around a JET-STREAM Vortex pump standing beside the header pot rather than an air stone or separate air pump. That external placement keeps pump heat out of the nutrient solution, so root zones stay cooler and far less prone to root rot and other pathogens. Instead of bubbling air in, the system spins the solution into a vortex that draws air through a venturi effect, oxygenating the whole of each pot so roots get high oxygen wherever they develop - improving nutrient uptake, speeding vegetative growth and supporting dense bloom. Large 58 L V-POT containers and wide 5-inch pipework give roots room to spread and distribute nutrients evenly across all four sites for consistent growth.
Key Benefits
- Vortex-driven oxygenation removes the need for a separate air pump
- Even oxygen distribution supports strong root development and plant health
- External pump placement reduces heat transfer into the nutrient solution
- Large 58 L V-POT containers support big root systems, bigger plants and heavier yields
- Wide 5-inch pipework keeps the system free-flowing and feeds every pot equally
- Heavy-duty, professional-grade components for reliable long-term running
- Made in Britain
How to Use
- Assemble the system using the supplied 5-inch spiral tubing and Dual-Flow fittings per the layout instructions.
- Stand the JET-STREAM Vortex pump beside the header pot and connect it with the supplied pipe.
- Fill to the indicated fill line and mix in hydroponic nutrients suited to recirculating systems.
- Place plants in net pots with an inert medium such as clay pebbles inside the V-POT containers.
- Switch on so the vortex flow circulates solution and draws air through the venturi injectors.
- Maintain stable EC and pH through vegetative growth and the flowering stage.
- Inspect regularly via the inspection covers and drain periodically to refresh the solution.
