A
hydroponic pump continually provides plants with water and mineral solutions.
The nutrients provided allow for the necessary process of photosynthesis
to be performed. A system's regular operation provides a plant with
a controlled and regular environment in which it may flourish.
Hydroponics make use of a few different techniques. Though all are
soil-free, not all are free of a medium. In addition to this, a hydroponic
pump may be used for some methods. For others, it may not be needed.
Sometimes, a hydroponic pump may bring solution to the top of a sloping
tray to flow down over a plants roots. At other times, it may carry
the essential liquids to an overhead spray. An ebb and flow system utilizes
a pump to flood a medium with water and nutrients.
