Any way to improve a basic DWC in Rubbermaid?

Hey guys right now i have a basic DWC set up and its great, i recently just bought a water pump to help empty the water every 2 weeks.


My question is this, is there any way to improve the functionality of my DWC bubbler, like for example somehow make a seperate reseviour that will help filter my water, or maybe make it recirculating? Is there anything i can do to make it work better, or easier?

Its great as it is but theres always room for improvement, ya dig?

You could have just gotten some hose, fittings, valve and some sealant to make a drain instead of buying a pump.

You could change your system and experiment with other types of hydro.

You could buy all kinds of stuff and do major modifications to your simple easy to use dwc.................... oh yeah, but why?

I went thru the same thing when I made my first buckets, can't I make this more exciting I thought to myself... then I realized this is just the way I have always wanted it, nice and easy

I say just leave well enough alone, save your money and buy a... well you know... one of those things.......

good luck

my only advice on improving dwc; buy two containers instead of one.

When you're ready to change your res, add the water and nutes to the 2nd container, then swap it out with the 1st when you're ready.

I find this quicker and easier to do my res changes.

The more air bubbles the better. Double up on your airstones.

i have the stealth 6 hole system and drilled a hole in the bottom of all 6 net pots and put the little blue stones in where every plant has its own stone and run 3 pumps.the stones stick down not in the net pots.imo u can never have to much oxy...
