RDWC Has Its Roots In Traditional Deep Water Culture
In traditional deep water culture systems (DWC), each system involves its own self contained local system. This means that each system has to be individually checked for pH, nutrient levels, and topped up with lost water. If you have 20 plants this can be very tedious and time consuming. For smaller systems this is perfectly suitable, but in larger grows, it can be a huge waste of time to maintain. The solution lies in the innovative design of the recirculation system.
Building On Innovation
Deep water culture isn’t without its challenges. Although plants leaves breath in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, the roots need to use some oxygen in order to absorb nutrients. Water can retain some oxygen, but once that oxygen is released or used up, the plants will begin choking for more of this element. Submersing roots in water for long periods of time will eventually cause them to suffocate and die. The solution to this is to constantly oxygenate the water by injecting it with a stream of air from an air pump.
Additionally, the reservoir volume in traditional DWC is quite small, and needs to be checked regularly for shifts in parameters. Skipping these checks can allow the water to become imbalanced and lead to slow growth, or worse… the death of your plants.
Recirculating deep water culture takes the traditional method to another level by creating a steady flow of water throughout the system. By connecting multiple individual deep water culture systems, water is refreshed throughout the system constantly. This helps to prevent any stagnation of water, thus preventing algae, bacteria, and fungi from making a home in your system.
Keeping the water flowing helps to prevent this stagnation and keep the roots of your plants clean and free of infection.
Circulating the water through numerous smaller systems increases the reservoir volume size, and helps maintain even water pH, nutrient density, and oxygenation. Moving the water around constantly allows any buildup of acidity, or mineral concentrations to diffuse throughout the entire water supply.

FAQs About RDWC System
1. How Does RDWC System Work?
Recirculating deep water culture works by combining multiple individual deep water culture systems into a single system. Each of these systems is connected together with a series of pipes. This allows all pH and nutrient checks to be done at the same time, usually in a separate bucket called the control tank. Here all maintenance can be done to the system.
The water in the system is controlled by an inline water pump designed to keep the water flowing constantly through the system in a single direction. Oxygen stones, and air pumps are then added to each pot to keep water oxygenation as high as possible.
Using this method, your individual DWC systems become one large super system, significantly increasing the reservoir volume, and improving the functionality of the entire system altogether.
2. RDWC Application:
Recirculating Deep Water Culture is a method used to grow plants with roots submerged in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution. By using the GROZY RDWC hydroponic system you can optimise maximum growth potential. The super oxygenated nutrient solution is constantly recirculated around the system.
