Customer Reviews for VEVOR DWC Hydroponic System, 5 Gallon 5 Buckets, Deep Water Culture Growing Bucket, Hydroponics Grow Kit with Pump, Air Stone and Connected Reservoir, for Indoor/Outdoor Leafy Vegetables

I was going to build my own setup with Home Depot buckets but after pricing out the buckets w/lids, the hoses and fitting, the net pots, expanded clay and factoring in the labor of painting the buckets black (to prevent algae growth) and modifying the buckets for net pot use, it’s as just way more practical to buy this. Plus, compared to the more popular brands offering nearly identical products, this was no different than any other but at least $30 cheaper.I will say, that exterior blue tubing feature is useless. Since the holes are already cut, you’re forced to use it or find a way to prevent water from leaking, but at the end of the day it does nothing. I assume it’s supposed to show water levels in the bucket but the tube is so thin and tinted that you really can’t see anything. I’ve seen a system that uses a half inch to inch tube for this and I may modify these to copy that, as it’d be much easier to see water levels.Anyways, the system is great and has everything you need to get started. You’d be a fool not to get it.

I LOVE THIS! for everything that you get, plus having all the work already pre done for you, there really isn't any better option. if you were to price out everything, plus add in the time to make all the necessary holes and whatnot.. GREAT DEAL

Easy to put together. Tomato plants are growing like crazy.

I really LOVE the kit - buckets are pre-drilled and grommets and fittings fit well. Complete isn't the word - this kit has everything except the water and seeds. The sight glasses are easy too - just be sure not to cut the plastic straws too short!! Even includes the ceramic pebbles to hold the plant in place in the basket. I couldn't put it all together buying separate pieces for the price.

I have couple of friends I'm sending ur way

Quick shipping easy to set up no leaks very good product Next time I need anything I will get ahold of these guys

Easy Assembly

Great product

Nice kit, no leaks. Pump is a bit noisy but it's tolerable. Refilling water is annoying when you have a large plant.I grew pepper plants in these and had great success. Started in a different system until a good root system formed, then transfered to the buckets.Assembly on this system was a little cumbersome, but just needs some patience.

I erred on the side of 5 rather than 4 stars. Or really, I rounded up. I love this set-up. It provide everything you need to start hydroponics. The only problem is that they leak where the bottom straw thing comes up. Knowing that now I glued them before putting them together. Other than that, they are awesome for so many reasons. I do like that you can see how much water is in there. It's good for bigger plants that are difficult to lift up. They also have a hole that allows for water and nutrients to be added without lifting. The pump works great. The little air stones also work great. It's enough for 8 nice size plants. Anyway, if you are a beginner or a pro hydroponic gardener, these are great. I have purchased 2 sets and will likely purchase again. It's a good price for all you get.
