Tanks

What’s a Nutrient Reservoir?

A nutrient reservoir or tank is the container where your water and nutrient solution sits; it should be large enough to feed all of your plants.

These tanks are designed to hold water, fertilizers and additives, and you’ll need to make sure to keep an eye on pH levels. Nutrient tanks are used in hydroponic growing and automatic watering systems, although they’re also highly practical for manually watering your plants using a pump and watering wand.

Benefits of Using a Nutrient Reservoir

• It’s easier and comfier to prepare your nutrient solution all at once, rather than preparing multiple watering cans. You can apply larger doses of nutrients and additives, making them easier to measure.
• These accessories are absolutely necessary in indoor grows using hydroponic or automatic watering systems.
