Hydro Flow® Ebb & Flow Screen Fitting

Protect Your Reservoir from Debris at Every Drain Cycle

The Hydro Flow® Ebb & Flow Screen Fitting inserts into open bulkhead fittings and feed/drain valves to catch plant debris and growing media before it can reach your reservoir, pump, or nutrient solution. A simple but essential component in any flood-and-drain system, it keeps recirculating nutrient solution clean and helps extend pump life by preventing clogging at the source. Manufactured from high-quality materials and offered à la carte for growers who need individual replacement screens or additional coverage in expanding systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Debris exclusion at the source — screen catches plant matter and growing media at the fitting before it can reach the reservoir, pump intake, or nutrient solution.
• Protects pump longevity — preventing debris from entering the reservoir reduces impeller wear and pump clogging frequency.
• High-quality materials — Hydro Flow fittings are manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent, reliable performance in active hydroponic systems.
• À la carte availability — purchase individually for replacements or to add screen protection to additional fittings in an existing system.
• Easy cleaning — remove, rinse, and reinstall without disassembling the fitting assembly.

Who Should Use This

Hydroponic flood table operators looking for replacement screen fittings or expanding coverage to additional bulkhead points to keep reservoir water clean between nutrient changes.

Compatibility

For use with Hydro Flow® Ebb & Flow bulkhead fittings and compatible open fitting ports. Verify fitting thread size against your specific bulkhead fitting before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should the screen be cleaned?

Inspect weekly and clean whenever debris buildup is visible or drain cycle times increase. Rinse under clean water to restore flow through the screen.

Can this screen be used with non-Hydro Flow fittings?

It may fit standard-dimension fitting ports, but exact compatibility should be verified against your fitting's internal dimensions before ordering.

Will this screen restrict my drain flow rate?

A clean screen creates minimal restriction. Keep it clean for best drain performance throughout the flood cycle.

Is this the same as the Botanicare screen fitting?

Both serve the same function but are manufactured by different brands and may have slightly different dimensions. Use the Hydro Flow screen with Hydro Flow fittings and the Botanicare screen with Botanicare fittings for best compatibility.
