The ALIEN® V-System 8 Pot is an advanced RDWC-style hydroponic system designed to deliver exceptional oxygenation, powerful root development and consistent high yields in indoor growing environments. Unlike traditional hydroponic systems that rely on air stones, the V-System uses a precision-engineered JET-STREAM® Vortex™ pump mounted outside the header pot. This design reduces heat transfer into the nutrient solution, helping maintain cooler water temperatures in the grow room and reducing the risk of root rot or harmful pathogens.
Instead of using an air pump, the system creates a vortex whirlpool motion inside each pot. This water movement pulls air into the system through a venturi effect, naturally oxygenating the nutrient solution throughout the entire root zone. This means roots receive high oxygen levels wherever they grow in the pot, improving nutrient uptake, supporting vigorous vegetative growth and producing dense flowers during the bloom stage. Large V-POT containers provide extensive root space, allowing plants to grow larger and produce heavier yields with improved bud density.
Key Benefits
• Vortex-driven oxygenation eliminates the need for an external air pump
• Even oxygen distribution supports strong root development and plant health
• External pump placement reduces heat transfer to the nutrient solution
• Large root zone capacity supports larger plants and higher yields
• Equal nutrient distribution across all plant sites for consistent crops
• Free-flowing hydroponic design improves nutrient uptake
• Heavy-duty components designed for professional hydroponic systems
• Made in Britain with durable, high-quality materials
How to Use
-
Assemble the system using the supplied 5” spiral tubing and Dual-Flow™ fittings according to the layout instructions.
-
Install the JET-STREAM® Vortex™ pump externally and connect it to the push-fit feed connections.
-
Fill the system with water up to the fill line and add hydroponic nutrients suitable for hydroponic systems.
-
Place plants into net pots with an inert medium such as clay pebbles and position them inside the V-POT containers.
-
Turn on the system so the vortex water flow circulates nutrient solution and draws air through the venturi injectors.
-
Monitor and maintain stable EC and pH levels to support strong vegetative growth and productive flowering.
-
Use the inspection covers to check system performance and drain the system periodically to refresh the nutrient solution.
