Active Aqua Extension Fitting, 1 in

The Active Aqua Extension Fitting, 1 inch, is a 1-inch extension piece that attaches to the fill and drain connector of a flood table to raise the overflow height. It is the simplest way to decide how high the water rises in an ebb and flow system, without modifying the plumbing of your indoor grow operation.

Benefits

• Adjusts flood height to pot size and growing medium
• Screws onto the already installed 1" fill/drain connector – no need to re-drill the tray
• Multiple extensions can be added when a higher level is required
• Plastic resistant to nutrient solution and pH adjusters
• Removes in seconds to completely empty the tray at the end of the cycle

How to use

Screw the extension onto the 1" drain connector installed in the tray and place the screen on top if your system uses one. Run a cycle with only water, observe how high the level reaches, and add or remove extensions until the desired height is achieved; it is common to flood about 1 inch below the surface of the substrate. Rinse the piece with clean water between cycles.
