A Trusted System for Over 25 Years
This is a super-solid old design that has been around forever. Gardeners and growers use it to raise plants in a tidy and easy way.
- The WaterFarm is constructed using high impact plastic to ensure long life. It does not easily break and does well in various growing conditions.
- Whether new to hydroponics or a seasoned grower, this system is simple to use and produces great results.
What’s Included in the Complete System
The GH WaterFarm Complete offers everything users need to begin growing within mere minutes. The bussing system is self-contained; no additional parts or tools are needed.
Reservoir and Growing Chamber
These two elements contain the plant and the water with the nutrients.
- 4-Gallon Reservoir: The water with nutrients is stored in this tank. It’s built to keep light out, so algae can’t grow inside.
- 2-Gallon Growing Chamber: This is the area where the plant will be placed. It is fabricated above the reservoir, which readily allows water and air to reach the plant roots.
Pumping Column and Support Tube
These parts assist in carrying the water from the reservoir to the plant.
- Pumping Column: This small pipe draws water out from the bottom of the reservoir and delivers it to the plant's roots.
- Support Tube: This holds the pumping column in place to stay steady while the system works.
Drip Ring and Grommet
These tiny pieces work to evenly distribute water and prevent leaks.
- Drip Ring: Water gets around the side of the plant, ensuring that all roots receive equal amounts of nutrients.
- ½-Inch Grommet: A rubber ring that fits around a tube and prevents water from leaking out of the system.
Drain Level Tube
This component ensures the right amount of water in the system. If the water rises too high, this tube lets the excess water drain out, helping prevent root rot and overwatering.
Elite 800 Air Pump
The air pump is also an essential element of the system. It maintains the water well oxygenated.
- The pump introduces the water with bubbles. This will make it easier for the roots to get oxygen. Plants grow more quickly as a result because of this.
- The pump is low on noise and light on power usage, making it perfect for indoor growing.
9 Litres of Clay Pebbles
These clay balls stabilize the plant and let air and water circulate around the roots.
- Clay pebbles do not retain much water, preventing the roots from becoming too wet.
- Pebbles can be cleaned after harvest and reused for the next plant.
3-Part Flora Nutrient Kit
This kit provides the nutrients that plants need to grow well from start to finish.
- FloraGro: Helps with early growth and strong roots.
- FloraBloom: Supports flower and fruit growth.
- FloraMicro: Provides key nutrients for healthy leaves and stems.

How to Set Up the System
