DWC Systems

What is a DWC system ?
A DWC or Deep Water Culture system is one of the simplest active hydroponic systems. The roots get their nutrient and oxygen by hanging from a raft which floats on top of the nutrient in the reservoir. Power consumption is low as this type of unit will only use an airpump and there is no need for a circulating pump or timer.
