Deep water culture drip ring lid assembly
$25.96
Data updated 2026-10-30
These listings include a specialized lid assembly for those building their own hydroponic reservoirs. It combines a net pot with a recirculating drip ring, allowing water to be delivered directly to the top of the root zone. This design is helpful for starting young plants before their roots are long enough to reach the water.
The component is built to fit standard five gallon buckets, making it a versatile part for custom DIY projects. It focuses on the mechanical delivery of water rather than being a full kit. This allows growers to choose their own pumps and tubing while relying on a pre-made lid and drip structure for stability.
Using a drip ring in a deep water culture setup provides a dual-action watering method. While the roots eventually sit in the bucket, the top-down irrigation ensures the growing medium stays moist. This part is made of durable plastic and is intended for long-term use in high-moisture environments.
