why do you use it? Is it simpler than other methods? I'm use to DWC but been finding it hard to keep the water cool in this summer heat. Looking for a better method with one res to cool. Also not to expensive
What do you use for hydro? Dwc, Ebb, flood,

I did DWC for years,switched to ebb flo bucket system last year. No looking back since! Added a chiller this summer, temp is no problem now. It makes things a hell of a lot easier then my DWC days. To the point that I find myself looking for things to do in my garden.

We choose aquaponic aeroponics w/ Trout, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
Amen.

I use RO water, my ph hardly drifts at all. I start at 5.9 and after topping off with RO for a week it moves to 5.8

If your not able to control temps re a chiller as mentioned then try something like DW because it'll be a struggle with a root flooded any thing

Drain to waste, I was thinking of doing that but bit the bullet and set up a passive chiller.
