Customer Reviews for VEVOR DWC Hydroponics Grow System, Hydroponic Growing System, Deep Water Culture 5-Gallon 4 Buckets, DWC System with Air Pump, Air Stones and Water Level Device for Leafy Vegetables

Ein einfaches RDWC System was tut, was es soll. Der Zusammenbau war sehr einfach. Es waren ausreichend Schläuchte dabei. Ich hatte Anfangs Bedenken, weil keine Schlauchklemmen dabei waren, aber das System hält dicht. Es ist bisher kein einziger Wassertropfen entweicht. Leider/Glücklicherweise war die Luftpumpe defekt. Vevor hat mir deshalb den gesamten Kaufpreis zurückerstattet. Für die Erstattung hätte ich mir 4 neue hochwertige Luftpumpen holen können, aber ich habe nur einer gekauft. Daher gebe ich trotzdem 5 Sterne. Die Wasserpumpe könnte noch ein bisschen stärker sein.

I have bought two before this set. I had 6 tomato plants and two cucumbers These work so well I bought the third one to expand next year to 12 buckets. That’s all my greenhouse will hold. I am still getting tomatoes and another cucumber plant is still growing. Hope to get some more cucumbers.

I got my first set of hydroponic buckets from Vevor in 2023. That's the first photo. I have used then now for 3 years and going strong!! I love these things. I use mine outside and my plants just do great in them. You can see in the photos I have grown many plant types but tomatoes and cucumbers love this system. Mine are outside exposed to the super strong Florida sun, and still no signs of cracking or even being close to cracking after all these years! Thats is awesome! I move mine during the year to follow the sun movement. I have other hydrosystems but these work best for my tomatoes and cukes.and some of my Herb plants. I also do not measure nutrients or add anything to change the Ph of my water. I am lucky and have a well that tapped a spring so all of my water is very good quality. Nutrients I use a water soluble type and add as recommended on the instructions. I highly recommend these as someone that uses them all year round and has for several years now. Easy to clean and breakdown to sanitize once a yea during Winter. You can't go wrong with buying these! Great for beginners also, super easy to set up and grow with. I did upgrade the air pump this year to a larger more powerful one only because I wanted more air circulation in the buckets. I will let you know next year how that worked out.

Pricey for what it is, hopefully the supplied air pump is strong enough

Good product, easy enough to put together, Maybe longer air hose would be ideal but not too much of an issue

Très bien

Parfait

It's pretty fly! It even eliminates quite a few operator errors

So far so good set up was easy

Right off the top, I bought 2 sets of this kit. The buckets w/ the net pot lids are worth the money by themselves. Having said that, here are the negatives. The air pump is garbage. There is no way this thing is rated for 8 air stones simultaneously for anything other than weak bubbles. It's not good enough. As many others have, I bought 2 different 4x pumps (variable) off amazon that do way better. Paid about $30 each. The air stones that come with this kit are terrible as well. Every single one of them broke at the neck when pulling the tube off. Again, that's an easy fix with $20 for a 10 pack of 1" quality stones off amazon. The buckets are quality for sure. The handles are robust and work really well. We are currently growing carolina reapers and I really like the smaller 5" size of the net pot in the lids. Requires less clay pebbles and there is no reason for 8"+ pots when the goal is to have the plant roots touch your nutrients faster. ALL THIS SAID:::: I have some comments about potential improvements. I have deleted the water level tubes. Dumb. Completely unnecessary. I taped off the two top holes and saved the grommets for later use. The bottom hole is PERFECT FOR THE AIR LINE. I cut an 8" tube and inserted into the bottom whole with an air stone attached in the middle of the bottom of the bucket. This way the stone is ALWAYS stationary in the center bottom of the bucket so you get the maximum agitation of the root system. It's a no-brainer. Also, the other end of the air tube is cut to about 2" outside the bottom of the bucket. You attach the backflow check valve and now you have an easy way to change out the buckets. Just disconnect the air tube from the check valve and swap in your prepped bucket. PHOTO INCLUDED. Anyway, this is a great beginner setup. You can play around with what works for you. Last comment: SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE. Sorry but you get what you pay for.
