AmHydro Pro NFT systems utilize the 'sliding bench' technique where channels can be easily moved to accommodate different crop spacings. This level of adaptability is crucial for growers to diversify and cultivate other crops as market demand fluctuates.
The open nutrient collector, formally employed in the 'sliding bench' technique, has engendered algae growth and nutrient splashing, which required constant cleaning. THAT, is now IN THE PAST. Our new covered collector puts the AmHydro Pro NFT system in a league of it's own. Less labor, more performance... key ingredients to success.
We are offering AmHydro clients 20% OFF to retrofit their existing NFT systems. Currently, covered collectors are not avaliable online. Price is roughly $5.00 per running foot. Please contact us via

"These covered collectors have worked great for us. There is no algae growing in them at all. We've been using them for about 5 months and still no algae. I wish all of our collectors were this good. The other 28 tables in our greenhouses have the open kind of collector and need to be scrubbed constantly to keep them clean."

Endless Summer Harvest Covered Collector
    
- The covered collector is made from super durable HDPE (high density polyethylene).
- Flexible tubing every 10' connects the covered collector to the main return pipe.
- Aluminum rivets are used to join materials, no rust.
- The sliding bench NFT system (where channels move freely on the support benches) is superior to other methods as channels are easily moved to accommodate different sized crops. There are no fittings to clog or prevent movement as in other systems. Channels are one piece, both ends are open.
- The covered collector is made from HDPE, a recyclable material, easy to clean, super durable.
- HDPE pipe is co-extruded, white on the outside to reflect light, black on the inside to deter algae growth.
- Once channels are inserted in collector, the cover retains it’s position making it easy to move channels in and out as well as prevent splashing.
- Downspouts at every 10’ move the nutrient solution quickly from the collector back to the nutrient reservoir. This feature minimizes the amount of nutrient in the collector at any one time and rushes it down to the insulated return pipe minimizing temp gain or temp loss.
- Neoprene washers under the collector pipe in the end cap and downspout attachment points assure of NO LEAKS. Aluminum rivets are used to insure a secure connection.
Each covered collector is designed to fit your system. For example, if your NFT table is 100' long, you will require (100) feet of 4" co-extruded collector, (9) coupler/down spouts and (2) end caps. Please contact us for a quotation. You can
