- Because of all of the things that can happen in transit, small leaks in connections can occur. Some clamps may need tightening, or drains may require some extra turns. These tasks are all part of the regular maintenance of a flood and drain system.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Are the heights between the shelves adjustable?
No, the height on the shelves is set because of the plumbing.
-
What is the approximate shipping price for the GROW RACK - AUTOMATED VERTICAL PROPAGATION RACK, 3, 4 and 5 tiers to San Diego, California?
There will be no shipping charge for this to San Diego, CA.
-
Can I buy just the irrigation?
At this time we don't offer the indivdual parts for sale. The only parts that we have for sale are the rack trays
-
Do I need to put attach this to any plumbing in my home, or is it standalone/ self sufficient/has its own?
The reservior will need to be filled with a hose initially and as needed to keep it full. Otherwise it is self sufficent. There is also an adapter that allows you to pump the water outside via a hose as needed for cleaning.
-
Is it possible to control the amount of water that fills into each tray?
Yes, each tray has a seperate flow control valve.
-
Does it also come with the shelf too? Or no?
Yes it is fully assembled as seen in the pictures. The automated grow rack will come to you as show in the 3rd picture.
-
is it possible to grow small vegetables in with this rig, like very small radishes or carrots, petite bok choi, etc?
Yes, you could definitely use the rack to grow petite vegetables. Be sure to consider the height of your desired plants and order the number of tiers that would allow for that space between the soil surface and the lights. If the pots you will be using are taller than the standard 2.5 inches you will need to consider that as well. Many people use the 3 or 4 tier rack to grow seedlings.
-
Can you use these racks to grow regular seedlings for transplant to the garden? I am wondering if I can use this set up instead of building a greenhouse.
Yes and using our cell trays would probably work best. Keep in mind that since soil is going to be used a bit more system maintenance is required in order to keep everything clean and functioning properly.
-

Sure! The 5 tier is priced at $2,299 (pre-tax).

When the pump is on the amerage per unit is as follows:
5 tier - 6.8 amps
4 tier - 5 amps
3 tier - 3.5 amps
The kWh will greatly depend on how often you run the pumps. These plug into a standard 120V outlet. -
Is one 1000-1500 gph pump able to water all five trays at once?
The 5 shelf rack comes with a 2700 gph pump. The the lower trays fill up a tad faster but they all fill up within 5 minutes.
-

Not currently. In a few months we'll be making it available in parts.
