What’s Run Off?

When you water plants, some of the feed collects beneath your plant pots.

This is ‘run off’

Why you Want Run Off

If there’s no run off, minerals, nutrients and salts are no longer flushed out of your growing media. Instead, they amass in your pot. By removing run off, this won't happen:

• Plants will be growing in better, non-toxic conditions
• Plant growth is uninhibited by poor conditions
• Plants get the right nutrients

To prevent this, aim for a 20 – 30% run off.

How Does a RhizoSystem Affect Run Off?

1. Getting the right run off

The optimum run off is 20 – 30%.

You can set your RhiszoSystem to drip feed your plants at a rate that’ll give you this run off. It’s a very precise way of growing.

2. Removing run off

If you don’t remove run off, it gets reabsorbed. This is harmful to your plants.

• The run off will be stagnant and will likely contain bacteria
• Your growing media becomes saturated with unoxygenated water
• There’ll be too little oxygen and too much water - roots need both.
• Some nutrients and salt accumulate in your growing media
• You get an incorrect nutrient profile
• You’ll experience root problems (even root rot)
• Poort nutrient absorption 
• Stunted growth

By removing run off with a RhizoSystem, none of this will happen.

You can safely achieve the optimum 20 – 30% run off, without any issues.

FlexiTank

To make life easy, you get a fold flat FlexiTank.

It’s durable, and is supplied fully assembled.

Simply fill your tank with nutrient solution to drip feed your plants.

All tanks are fold flat - a real space saver when they’re not in use.

• Stores up to 1000 Litres (depending on size)
• Fully assembled – simple to set up
• Fold flat design – easy storage and transportation

Depending on the size of your system, you’ll get one of 5 models:

• 100 Litres: 43cm x 75cm (Diameter x Height)
• 225 Litres: 63.5cm x 81cm (Diameter x Height)
• 400 Litres: 68cm x 111cm (Diameter x Height)
• 750 Litres: 90cm x 117cm (Diameter x Height)
• 1000 Litres: 120cm x 90cm (Diameter x Height)

Drippers

For uniform growth, each dripper releases the same volume of feed, so each plant gets the same nutrients.

One of these will also enhance nutrient uptake - nutrients are distributed evenly over the top of your growing media.

It’s easy to clean and service your drippers – instructions for this are supplied with your kit.

• Enhances nutrient uptake - even distribution across media
• Uniform growth - all drippers releases the same volume
• Efficient – drippers release between 21 – 24L per hour
• Easy to clean and service
• 1 per pot for Standard RhizoSystem, 2 per pot for XL RhizoSystem

RhizoPots

For even better drainage and natural root pruning, you get a bestselling RhizoPot.

You’ll get superior drainage and aeration – the pot is fabric and ‘breathable’.

One of these will boost root mass and eliminate root circling.

You’ll have healthier, faster growing plants.

Simply, they’re the best, and you can reuse pots 4 – 5 times.

• Air prunes roots - pot fabric is ‘breathable’
• Better drainage & aeration
• Healthier root network - stimulates secondary root growth
• Eliminates root circling
• Enhances nutrient & water uptake
• Faster growing times
• Reuse pots up to 5 times
• 1 Litre – 78 Litre capacity
• Fold flat (easy to store!)
• Biodegradable & made from recycled materials
• Suitable for all growing media
• 1 per RhizoStand included

RhizoStands

Place your RhizoPot on a RhizoStand to automatically remove all run off.

They’re sloped, to immediately draw run off away.

Each RhizoStand supports RhizoPots of up to 39L (XL) or 16L (Standard).

It’s easy to connect your stands to your system – all fixings are supplied.

• XL for RhizoPots - up to 39L (52 x 52 x 12cm)
• Standard for RhizoPots - up to 16L (37.5 x 37.5 x 11cm)
• Sloped design for speedy removal
• Reach an optimum 20 – 30% run off

Iceline Piping

Keep your nutrient temperatures under control with Iceline Piping.

It’s used to draw run off away from your RhizoStands.

Heat is reflected by the white outer layer.

You also get UV protection, thanks to the black inner layer.

Excess water is quickly drawn out of your RhizoStand via Iceline Piping.

It’s flexible but durable irrigation piping with a protective double layer.

• Double walled irrigation piping
• Reflects heat (white outer layer)
• UV protection (black inner layer)
• Fast removal
• Flexible – position and space out stands to suit your room

RhizoSystem Brain Controller

All run off collects in your RhizoSystem Brain Controller.

When the controller fills, it automatically pumps waste to your chosen location (such as a Drain or Bucket).

Connect up to 48 stands in up to 6 lines.

• Automatically empties (triggered by magnetic float switch)
• Remove up to of 1000L per hour (thanks to Maxi-Jet 1000 pump)
• In-built time delay
• Connect up to 6 lines of stands (6 inlet pipes)
• Connect up to 48 stands in total
• No leaks - blanking caps for each inlet pipe included

2. Setting up your system

Your kit comes with a set of instructions, complete with diagrams and suggested layouts.

Tips:

1. For better drainage
• Keep drainage lines pulled tight for efficient drainage

2. If your room is on a slope
• Position your RhizoSystem Brain Controller at the lowest point
• We recommend raising some of the stands so that all are level

3. Your RhizoSystem Brain
• Make sure it is plugged into your mains power supply at all times
• Keep unused inlet pipes covered with blanking caps to stop leaks
