C.A.P. constantly strives for perfection and we have recently re-engineered our Ebb & Gro System for overall performance and Xtreme reliability. The Ebb Controller, grow pots, nutrient reservoir and tubing are all made and assembled in USA. This award winning system now features a new internal electronic timer that controls two C.A.P. Ebb & Gro Pumps, and comes with a Five Year No Hassle Warranty. The Ebb & Gro (12 to 48 plants) is the most versatile ebb & flow system on the market. With many growers going from large numbers of small plants to fewer, larger ones, the Ebb & Gro fits the bill! It is a simple system that uses 2 pumps and gravity to flood and drain the planters about 3 or 4 times per day. The fill drain cycles are controlled by the controller unit (the square black container) to control the feeding schedule that you set with it’s built-in timer. This system can be set up in many different sizes and shapes to fit your exact growing needs. You can add more grow pots as necessary as this system is completely expandable up to 48 pots. The system works by connecting all of the grow pots to the controller unit. All necessary tubing and fittings are included with the system. Then you just set the timer to fill and drain the pots about 3 or 4 times a day. When the fill and drain cycle that you set comes on, it turns on the pump in the 55 gallon reservoir and starts filling the controller unit. When the pots are full, and your drain cycle starts, the pump in the controller unit pumps all of the water back into the reservoir. When the level of the water in the controller unit goes down, all of the grow pot  water levels go down also. Since the grow pots are raised above the controller unit, this reduces the water level in the pots at the end of the drain cycle preventing root rot. Then the controller unit waits for the next fill and drain cycle a few hours later. Each grow pot consists of 2 pots nested inside each other. The inner pot has holes in the bottom to allow the water to enter the grow media and the root zone. You can pick up the inner pot and move the plants from one site to another in the system. This will allow for even plant growth; even at the edges of your garden, where the plants don’t get as much light! Since your pumps are only pumping a short time each day, the system is extremely reliable. Your plants have 2 gallons of space in which to have root growth, so the size of your plants is not an issue. If they get larger than you anticipated, you can space the grow pots further apart. If you have a small space this system is ideal; as the plants can be placed as close as 10" apart. Versatility is what you get with this system. It comes complete with a B.C Recipe for Success Kit which will make 50 gallons of nutrient. Additional grow pots can be added at a later time. Each 6 pot add-on includes all of the tubing and fittings needed and grow mediums of your choice sold separately. Controller units are available separately if you wish to make your own system and they include the pumps.
