Model Sistem Hydroponik EBB & FLOW

An Ebb and Flow system consists of a growing bed in which individual containers filled with medium hold your plant's root systems. The growing medium also acts as a buffer, holding water and nutrients around the root system, and reducing the risk of crop loss due to power or equipment failure. The growing bed is flooded periodically to feed and water the plants and allowed to drain freely to pull oxygen into the root zone. Ebb and Flow systems' low maintenance, high productivity, and ease of use make them among the most popular hydroponic systems for not only the beginner, but for the advanced gardener as well.

How do I build my own hydroponic system? Yes, you can build your own hydroponics system. We supply a variety of trays, pumps, filters, reservoirs, and other pieces that make building your own custom system a breeze. There are also many different types of hydroponic systems that are easily built from common parts that are usually readily available. Below we have illustrated a simple ebb and flow system made from components that we sell. Also, we have included a list of common pieces that can be found locally to build this system.
An ebb and flow system is one of the easiest hydroponic systems to build yourself. Many of the parts needed can be found locally, if not we carry a complete line of ebb and flow trays, NFT channels, reservoirs, hydroponic pumps and filters, fill and drain kits, etc. The principle behind an Ebb and Flow system is easily understood. A bottom reservoir contains nutrients which are periodically pumped up to the ebb and flow tray, and then allowed to drain via gravity back into the reservoir. When the Ebb and flow tray is flooded plants receive nutrients and water, also CO2 is pushed out and away from the plants root system. When the nutrient solution drains back into the reservoir, fresh oxygen is pulled down into the root system. This combination of fresh nutrients, water, and oxygen is then readily assimilated by the plants, ensuring lush healthy growth. Following is a list of parts that could be used to build an ebb and flow system out of componenets that we sell. Other alternatives are suggested below:

1. 4'x2' ebb and flow tray
2. 30 gallon reservoir
3. Maxijet 500 pump
4. American Hydroponics fill/drain kit
5. 6' - 1/2" blue flexible tubing
6. 3 hose clamps - 1/2"
7. 30 - 4 1/2" square containers
8. 50 litres LECA growing medium

REKABENTUK SISTEM/SYSTEM DESIGNS

1)Sistem Asas 'Sumbu': Sebagaimana sumbu lampu minyak, begitulah kaedah yang digunakan menggunakan asas sumbu (bahan yang mudah serap) akar pokok tumbuh ke aras bawah menyentuh larutan baja atau media.
1) The basic wick: The roots grow down through an aggregate medium. A wick (absorbent
material) is laced through the medium and hangs down into a reservoir and draws the nutrient solution up into the root zone.

2) Sistem Tanpa-Kitaran Semula ('Sistem Ruang Udara'): Akarnya tergantung pada takungan larutan baja, dengan bahagian atasnya terapung di permukaan udara (untuk mengambil oksigen) dan bahagian bawah akar menyentuh langsung dengan larutan baja. Atau yang mempunyai media aggregat (seperti rockwool, perlite, sabut, arang sekam padi dll.)
2) The non-recirculating (“air-gap”) system: The roots hang into a nutrient solution reservoir, with the upper part of the root mass suspended in air (air roots to take up needed oxygen) and the lower part of the root mass in direct contact with the nutrient solution (water and nutrient roots).

Type Of System:


*Liquid/Closed Option * Aggregate Option










3) Sistem Rakit, Apung atau Aliran: Tanaman diapungkan pada platform atau selalunya menggunakan kepingan styrofoam yang terapung di permukaan larutan baja. Oksigen mestilah dibekalkan kepada akar dengan menggunakan pam akuarium biasa.
3) The raft, float or deep flow system: Plants are suspended through styrofoam boards which float on the surface of the nutrient solution. Oxygen must be supplied to the roots using an aquarium pump and air stones or a “venturi” system.





Liquid/Closed



4) Sistem Rendam Dan Kering (Atau Sistem Salur dan Surut): Akar tumbuh melalui agregat media. Larutan baja kemudiannya dipam ke media ini dan membasahi keseluruhan zon akar untuk kadar masa yang ditetapkan. Ia kemudiannya dibiarkan kering dan larutan baja disalurkan semula ke kawasan takungan yang disediakan (Kaedah ini juga dipanggil Sistem AUTOPOT dan semakin terkenal di Malaysia kerana keberkesanannya)

4) The flood and drain (or ebb and flow) system: The roots grow down through an aggregate. The nutrient solution is pumped into the aggregate medium, floods the root zone for a short time, and is then allowed to drain back into the reservoir. This system is also known as AUTOPOT system

Type Of System:

*Manual Option * Aggregate/Closed











Model2 sistem Autopot

5) Sistem Penyalur Atas: Akar tumbuh melalui media agregat. Larutan baja dibekalkan/dihantar ke bahagian atas media ini, menembusinya dan kemudiannya disalurkan semula ke kawasan takungan atau dibuang
5) The top feeder system: The roots grow down through an aggregate. The nutrient solution is delivered to the top of the aggregate medium, percolates through and then either drains to waste or is recirculated into a reservoir.

Aggregate/Closed or Open

6) Sistem Salur Lapisan (NFT): Akarnya mungkin tumbuh dari media seperti Rockwool, sekam, habuk kayu dan sebagaiTeknik Salur nya melalui bekas yang diisi dengan agregat ini untuk memberikan sokongan dan digantung di tiub atau saluran pada posisi sedikit senget untuk membenarkan larutan mengalir. Larutan baja kemudiannya dipam ke bahagian hujung, mengalir melalui akar yang tergantung ini dan kemudiannya balik semula ke kawasan takungan.
6) Nutrient film (flow) technique (NFT): The roots may be growing from Rockwool blocks or through cups filled with an aggregate for support but ultimately hang into a slightly slanted tube or trough. The nutrient solution is pumped to the higher end, flows past the hanging roots and then back to the reservoir.

Type of system = Liquid-Aggregate/Closed





7) Aeroponik: Akarnya tergantung di dalam suatu bekas atau kawasan yang tertutup sepenuhnya. Larutan baja disemburkan menggunakan semburan kabus pada kawasan akar pada sela masa yang ditentukan.
7) Aeroponics: The roots are suspended in an enclosed space and, at regular intervals, sprayed with the complete nutrient solution.
