Circuits designed around the crop, the rack layout and the room — not bought off a shelf.
01 System Types
The right circuit for the crop
NFT Best for - leafy greens, tight rows, fast turnaround
DWC / DFT Best for - buffered solution temperature, propagation
Ebb & Flow Best for - trays, nursery and propagation
Drip Best for - substrate-grown crops, per-plant control
Aeroponics Best for - high-oxygen root zones, propagation
02 Solution Temperature
Solution temperature, controlled
Root-zone temperature drives dissolved oxygen, root vigour and disease pressure — and it is the variable most growers overlook. We specify solution temperature control as part of the system, not an optional add-on.
In published lettuce trials, running the solution at 26 °C instead of 16 °C raised soluble sugar content by about 67% and root activity by about 106% (Xie Peining). This is one reason solution temperature sits inside our core scope rather than left to the grower to retrofit.
03 Circulation & Recovery
Circulation, filtration and disinfection
Pumps, filtration and disinfection (UV / ozone) sized to the loop, with level management that keeps the solution moving without flooding the trays. Recovery is designed so water and unused nutrient return to the system — not down a drain.
04 Solution Monitoring
Measured, not guessed
Online monitoring of EC, pH and dissolved oxygen is standard on a commercial hydroponic line. We build it in from the start so the loop runs on readings, not routine — and so dosing and circulation respond to the solution's actual state.
05 Rack Integration
Built to the rack, not around it
Built to the rack, not around it
06 What We Deliver
What we deliver
A complete irrigation scope: circuit selection, solution temperature, circulation and disinfection, monitoring, and rack integration — specified, installed and commissioned with the rest of the system.
FAQ.
Q: Which hydroponic method is best for commercial lettuce?
A: It depends on the room and the business model, but for leafy greens NFT and DWC/DFT are the workhorses. We recommend after seeing the layout and target.
Q: Do you supply trays and channels?
A: Yes — including Ebb & Flow trays. Specific dimensions are confirmed per project.
Q: Do you provide nutrient dosing as well?
A: Yes, fertigation (dosing) is a separate system in our range — see Fertigation & Nutrient Dosing. It is engineered to work with the irrigation loop.
Q: Is 26 °C always the right solution temperature?
A: No. That figure is a published lettuce-trial result, not a universal setting. We set solution temperature per crop, stage and room conditions.
