White Flood Tray 1320L x 1320W

What is the White Flood Tray 1320L x 1320W used for?

It’s a heavy-duty containment tray used in hydroponics for flood-and-drain (ebb & flow), runoff catchment, propagation setups, bottom-watering, and messy utility tasks like mixing media or washing pots. It also works well under grow tables or racks when fully supported.

Is the White Flood Tray 1320L x 1320W suitable for ebb & flow systems?

Yes, it’s designed for flood-and-drain setups. You typically flood just enough to soak the root zone, then drain it fully. It also supports soil, fabric, and net pots, with proper attention to drainage and media choice.

What are the dimensions of the White Flood Tray 1320L x 1320W?

It measures 1320 mm long, 1320 mm wide, and 190 mm high. It may fit snugly in “4x4” tents depending on brand. Trimming is possible but not recommended, as it can reduce strength and cause leaks.

What material is the White Flood Tray made from, and is it safe?

It’s made from 4 mm thick, food-grade, BPA-free ABS plastic. It’s safe for hydro nutrients, indoor use, and short-term outdoor use if protected from direct sun and extreme temperatures. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.

How do I clean and maintain the White Flood Tray?

Rinse out debris, scrub with warm water and mild soap, and sanitize with diluted peroxide or bleach. Clean regularly to prevent algae, odors, and salt buildup. Avoid letting water or nutrients sit for long periods.

Can the tray handle heavy loads like pots and water?

Yes, it’s thick and durable, but it needs a flat, fully supported base to prevent flexing or bowing. The “easy stack & release” design also makes handling and storage more convenient.

Does the White Flood Tray have built-in drainage?

Yes, it’s molded to direct water toward low points for efficient drainage. Most setups require you to drill and add your own bulkhead fitting at the lowest point after leveling the tray.

Can I drill the tray for a bulkhead fitting?

Yes. Use a hole saw that matches your fitting, drill slowly, and support the plastic to avoid cracking. Most growers drill after setting the tray in its final position to find the true low spot.

What plumbing size and pump do I need for this tray?

Use larger drain fittings to reduce clogs and ensure fast drainage. Choose a pump that floods the tray quickly without disturbing the media, based on your plumbing setup and reservoir height.

What kind of support or stand should I use under the tray?

A rigid, flat platform is essential for holding water or heavy pots. Uneven surfaces or gaps can cause flexing, poor drainage, or even cracks under load.
