An air pump is predominantly used in hydroponics to oxygenate nutrient solutions in a reservoir tank or apply air directly to the rhizosphere of plants in your chosen hydroponic system.
It doesn’t take any ‘newbie’ to Hydroponics long understand the importance of oxygen to the growth of plants in an indoor hydroponic garden. Whether it be a well oxygenated reservoir tank or providing oxygen directly to the rhizosphere the positive benefits to the plants ability to uptake nutrient are well documented, and visibly evident once you start improving available oxygen to your plant’s roots zone. Progrow sell a wide range of air pumps as well as numerous manifolds and fittings to enable the grower to configure to multiple air stones or ‘pods’ in Deep water culture systems, all our air pumps are built for hours of reliable use when correctly used and maintained.
