Hydroponic Maintenance Guide: Professional guide for system care
Growing method and how it works?
The WALLY32 uses the SWC (Shallow Water Culture) method, an efficient and reliable hydroponic technique. In this system, water from the reservoir is pumped into the top channel, filling it to a shallow level of approximately 1.18 inches (three centimeters). Once this level is reached, the water drains sequentially into the lower channels, ultimately returning to the reservoir. This creates a continuous cycle of nutrient-rich water flowing through the system.
Plants are placed in net cups within the planting holes on the channel covers. Their roots grow into the channels, accessing water, nutrients, and oxygen directly, while the foliage, fruits, and leaves grow in the external environment. The nutrient solution, prepared by diluting hydroponic fertilizers in the reservoir, circulates twenty-four/seven. The system can also run on a timer, allowing growers flexibility to pause operation at night or when using solar panels during daylight hours. Unlike the NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) method, where water drains entirely back to the reservoir when the pump stops, the SWC system retains a water level in the channels. This feature provides a safety net during power outages or pump failures, ensuring plants do not dry out and remain healthy.The SWC method offers a reliable and straightforward solution for growing plants hydroponically, delivering all essential nutrients, water, and oxygen directly to the roots while maintaining a consistent environment for optimal growth.

Why the Wally 32?
How WALLY32 works?
WALLY32 utilizes the vertical hydroponic Shallow Water Culture (SWC) method, where a nutrient solution reservoir at the bottom feeds water and nutrients to plants in the channels. The roots absorb water, nutrients, and oxygen, while the foliage receives light and airflow from the external environment.
Unlike the more common NFT method, SWC maintains a safe water level even if the pump fails or during power outages, protecting plants from drying out quickly. WALLY32 can also be operated on a timer or solar panel if needed.
Like other hydroponic methods, WALLY32 conserves about 90% of water and allows plants to grow up to three times faster without chemical pesticides.
What Can Be Grown with WALLY32?
Vegetables & Fruits
All types of cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, watermelons, melons, cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, strawberries, beans, peas, zucchini and more.
Leafy Greens
All types of lettuce, all types of spinach, all types of kale, all types of beet leaves, fennel, arugula, bak choy, Chinese cabbage and more.
Herbs & Mini Greens
All types of parsley, cilantro, chives, green onions, dill, basil, celery, sage, lemon balm, rosemary, thyme, lemongrass, baby leaves, lavender and more.

Family Gardening
My daughter experienced the system at school and asked that we get one for home; now I understand why. A month and a half after planting, we've already harvested lots of tasty salads and ripe tomatoes at a crazy rate. I must admit, aside from the vegetables, hydroponic gardening has turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of our daily life. Thanks, NatureTech for your great service and excellent product.

Hydroponics into the Classroom
Thank you to NatureTech for helping us choose this wonderful system for our science classroom. The students assembled the system and lighting themselves, planted it, and are now learning and experimenting with urban agriculture. The covers of the channels are liftable, which provides additional access and observation into the fascinating world of roots. The lesson plans we received help me as a teacher to learn about this hydroponic field and to convey it to the students in a fun, hands-on way.
