Water Chiller Applications in Deep Water Culture (DWC)
Deep Water Culture (DWC) is an efficient hydroponic method, but high water temperatures can lead to root rot and reduced yields. Our DWC water chiller provide precise temperature control for nutrient solutions, ensuring healthy root growth and maximizing your harvest!

Role of Water Chillers for Deep Water Culture
- Temperature Regulation: The DWC water chiller can maintain the temperature of the nutrient solution within the ideal range (18-22°C), preventing the decrease in oxygen solubility and the growth of pathogenic bacteria caused by high temperatures.
- Prevention of Root Problems: High temperatures can lead to root rot (such as that caused by Pythium), and the hydroponic chiller effectively prevents this by reducing the water temperature.
- Increased Yield: A stable low-temperature environment promotes nutrient absorption and plant growth, increasing the yield.
- Adaptability: It is suitable for DWC systems of different scales (home-based, small commercial, or large greenhouses).
ของเรา water chiller for deep water culture precisely regulates water temperature, preventing oxygen loss in DWC nutrient solutions due to heat, ensuring healthy root development. Ideal for summer conditions or small indoor setups, they significantly boost crop yields.
