Staal Plast Flood & Drain Tray - 1200MM x 1200MM | Ebb & Flow

The Staal Plast Flood & Drain Tray 1200MM x 1200MM is a professional ebb and flow irrigation tray designed to provide controlled and uniform irrigation across a practical square growing area. Suitable for hydroponic grow rooms, greenhouses, nurseries and propagation facilities, it provides an efficient platform for simultaneously irrigating multiple plants.

During the flood cycle, water mixed with nutrients is introduced onto the tray and distributed throughout the growing surface. The integrated channel design helps provide even nutrient solution distribution, allowing plants positioned across the tray to receive consistent irrigation during each watering cycle.

After irrigation, the remaining nutrient solution drains away through the tray's channel system. Efficient drainage helps prevent plant containers from remaining in standing water and prepares the tray for the next irrigation cycle.

When incorporated into a properly configured recirculating hydroponic system, the drained nutrient solution can be returned to a central reservoir for filtration, treatment and reuse. This can help reduce water consumption and nutrient waste compared with traditional run-to-waste irrigation methods.

The Staal Plast Ebb & Flow Tray can also help reduce manual watering requirements. When connected to a suitable reservoir, pump, plumbing and irrigation controller, flood and drain cycles can be automated according to crop requirements and growing conditions.

With its 1200MM x 1200MM square footprint, this tray is particularly useful for organised plant layouts where growers require efficient use of available floor or bench space. It provides a simple, reliable and easy-to-maintain irrigation solution for both professional and DIY hydroponic systems.
