High performance flood and drain for compact, fast-feeding setups. The IWS Flood & Drain PRO Remote is a fully automated recirculating feed system designed for growers who want consistent irrigation, strong root oxygenation, and repeatable results without daily hand-watering. The 10L pot version is ideal when you want a smaller footprint, quicker dry-backs, and tighter control in tents or high plant-count rooms.
Built around rapid fill and rapid drain, the PRO Remote floods each pot evenly, then drains back to the reservoir. As it drains, fresh air is pulled through the medium to re-oxygenate the root zone. This cycle supports healthy roots and more uniform growth across every site in the system.
Why it’s “PRO”
- High-flow 25mm pipework for faster filling and drainage than standard flood and drain layouts.
- Remote timer control with minute-adjustable scheduling so you can manage cycles outside the grow space.
- Strong flood pump performance to deliver even saturation across multi-pot runs.
- Consistent flood height control to help keep irrigation uniform and reduce over-filling risk.
- Oxygen advantage as the system drains, stale air is drawn out and replaced with fresh oxygen around the roots.
How it works
- Flood: Nutrient solution is pumped from the reservoir to evenly saturate each pot.
- Soak: Plants feed while the root zone is saturated.
- Drain: The solution returns to the reservoir and air is pulled through the medium to re-oxygenate roots.
- Repeat: Timed cycles keep feeding consistent and predictable.
Key benefits
- Compact pot sites that suit tents and high-density layouts.
- More control than hand-watering with consistent cycles across every pot.
- Less labour once dialled in, with fewer day-to-day variables.
- Healthy, oxygen-rich roots from the flood and drain cycle.
- Scales well for multi-pot rooms and repeatable runs.
What’s typically included
- Controller unit
- 10L pots (outer pots) with inner pots (style depends on the kit variant)
- 25mm fittings and pipework
- Flood pump
- Remote timer
- Pot stands
- Reservoir (FlexiTank size varies by kit configuration)
- Root control accessories (where supplied)
Media compatibility
This system is commonly run with clay pebbles, coco, or mixed media depending on the inner pot style supplied with your kit. With smaller pots and finer media, keep the system clean and flow paths clear to maintain quick, reliable drainage.
Best for
- Growers wanting fast cycling and tight control with smaller pot sites
- Multi-pot setups needing even feeding across every plant
- Anyone upgrading to a repeatable automated irrigation system with high-flow performance
Tip: Smaller pots can dry back quicker. Start with fewer cycles, then increase frequency as plants size up and demand rises.
