This is a self-build kit for 8 plants in a recirculating deep water culture system. This system is NOT DRILLED or you can choose us to drill it for you. This is the same system featured in our YouTube video but with 8 plant's instead of 2 or 4.

*Please watch our video below before ordering as this system DOES NOT come with instructions!

This system includes 8-5 gallon buckets with 6" bucket baskets and one 5 gallon reservoir bucket. The whole system is connected with 1" soft tubing, and recirculates with a submersible 75 gallon per hour water pump. This 8 plant requires Hose Clamps due to water weight to seal up better. Each plant is aerated with its own air stone from the 8-output air pump and tubing that is also included.
This system also includes our water level indicator kit that is in our video except it is a heavy duty non tilting version due to water weight. This does NOT include growing media due to shipping weight. You can order Hydroton separate box. (PLEASE SEE VIDEO LINKS)


**THIS IS A DO-IT-YOURSELF KIT. PA HYDROPONICS/PAH SUPPLY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES OR LEAKS!**

INCLUDED IN THIS KIT:

9 - 5 Gallon black food-grade buckets
8 - 6" Bucket net lids
1 - Plain bucket lid to cover reservoir
18 - 1" Bulkhead drain fittings
18 - Hose clamps for bulkheads/tubing
10 Feet of 1" flexible black tubing  (YOU MAY TRIM TO YOUR AREA)
1 - 100 feet roll of premium air tubing (YOU MAY TRIM TO YOUR AREA)
8 - Round, medium Active Air cylinder air stones
1 - Active Aqua 8 output air pump.
1 - Stirponic "100 GPH" submersible water pump (formerly eco 66)
1 - 1/2" to 3/4" reducer with tubing attached (AS SEEN IN VIDEO)
1 - Water level indicator site tube with 1/2" elbow attached and clip.
1 - 10 foot piece of 1/2" tubing ( to use to drain system with included pump )

THERE ARE LOT'S OF TIP'S AND TRICKS IN OUR VIDEOS TO HELP BUILD THIS! We have a 4 plant video setup but not a 8 plant video, build it's the same as the 4 plant but add an 2 extra buckets so it will have 2 rows of 4 buckets instead of 2 rows of 2, hope you can figure it out :)

WE DON'T RECOMMEND GROWING HUGE PLANT'S IN THIS RDWC SYSTEM THAT HAS 1" CIRCULATION LINES. OUR RECOMMENDED HEIGHT FOR FULL GROWN PLANTS IS 1-3 FEET. BIGGER PLANT'S CAN CLOG 1" TUBING. IF THIS HAPPENS TURN OFF WATER PUMP AND KEEP AIR RUNNING.  

Drill Sizes for DIY Kits:
3" Bulkheads - 3 3/4" Hole Saw
1/2", 3/4", 1" Drains (Bulkheads) - 1 1/4" Hole Saw
Airline - 1/4" Drill Bit

    RDWC Stirpontic 8 bucket system

    Posted by Mark NY on Feb 24th 2022

    Thank you so much Gary both systems I bought turned out amazing!! I added recirculating water kit to my existing 5 plant system and also purchase this MONSTER! 8 5g bucket RDWC. So far set up was a breeze I watched the videos a few times so this was simple I did adjust the length of my reservoir to put it outside where I wanted it. Well I took pictures but I can't upload them??? That would be a good thing to add... But I can't thank you enough I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos!! Speaking of yeah keep doing what you're doing, your videos are awesome your products are amazing. One of these days I may just take the trip up, come say hi!! Thanks!

    8 Bucket RDWC system

    Posted by Aric on Jan 2nd 2022

    Bought it long ago and it leaked from literally every seal. I thought I screwed it up, but lo and behold, a video called "leaking bulkheads update" slipped into my YouTube que. I did some digging and of course, every single bulkhead was messed up. The company knew about this, sold them anyway and didn't even bother telling anyone that they need to be smoothed out unless you're a dedicated YouTube follower. Been screwed over a lot, but jeez. *** This is Gary - first off please let us do the drilling, I believe the drilling might have been off on this one by the customer and I don't know how long ago we sent this but we do include a picture now that addresses the bulkheads, I have tried 3 other brands of the bulkheads and these are the best despite having to check them, I also don't like doing the Stirponics any bigger than 6 plants but people keep asking so we put the 8 plant for sale and it is a lot of water weight, we do send extra hose clamps now as well. Sorry for your troubles and I hope you got it going - Gary***

    Posted by Christopher Aydt on Oct 5th 2021

    This system is AWESOME! Easy to put together. Everything was delivered on time. Nothing damaged or missing. My plants are growing amazingly well with this system! Thanks for providing more than enough tubing. I will highly recommend this product & PA Hydroponics!
