Power of The Tower

ZipGrow™ Towers are the product of seven years of research on highly productive vertical farming techniques at the University of Wyoming by Dr. Nate Storey. The technology works equally well in aquaponic systems and is specially designed for highdensity hydroponic farming. It’s at the core of all of ZipGrow™ technologies. A simple drip emitter directs hydroponic solution into the top of the Tower. The water then trickles down through the media and back into the reservoir.

The single-sided, lightweight design of ZipGrow™ Towers ensures maximum yields in small spaces; growers also enjoy just how easy they are to move, making maintenance, pest control, and Tower transport a breeze.

The housing is PVC; it squeezes the media nice and tight and holds it in place when you move the Tower around.

Matrix Media™ is durable and made from recycled water bottles; it comes in long strips folded and pulled into the housing. The lightweight media holds roots steady for optimum growth.

The wicking strip is a piece of reusable polyester felt sandwiched inside the matrix media. It guides nutrient solution through the rootzone, ensuring that each plug is watered sufficiently. After each growth cycle, the wicking strip is removed, cleaned, and reinstalled for the next growing period.

Designed to last a lifetime, we’re so sure of their quality that the Tower housing is guaranteed for 20 years.

By growing up instead of out, Towers can double or even triple production over other hydroponic methods.
