How Many Gallons Of Water Per Hour Per Zipgrow
Towers Keep Your Plants Happy?
Today we’re talking about flow rates for your ZipGrow vertical farming towers.
Just to be clear, when I say “flow rate” all I’m referring to is the specific rate or velocity at
which the volume of your aquaponic or hydroponic system solution (i.e. water + fish waste
or water + nutrients) drains through your ZipGrow tower Matrix Media.
In other words: how fast you pump water through your towers.
Vertical Farming Media = Mostly Air
One of the first things to mention is the exceptionally high void space of the ZipGrow Matrix
Media.
In fact, our specially-designed Matrix Media is 93% void space, or 93% air.
This is important in both aquaponic and hydroponic systems because it dictates how fast
your solution trickles down through the tower (this is also called the percolation rate).
Because of this high void space (i.e. a fast percolation rate), it means we as Upstart Farmers
need to be irrigating fairly constantl
