Icetube 25mm Flexi-Pipe - Heat and UV Reflective
Please note - Rolls come in 30m lengths, if you order 30 x 1M Piping, you'll recieve the roll in full, uncut.
Icetube - the same high quality of Iceline with a different name. Icetube lowers the temperature of the nutrient solution in your system using a simple but effective dual-core design. A white outer layer reflects light and lowers heat levels within the pipe, while the black inner layer protects against UV. This has a profound effect on the overall temperature of your nutrients. Lower nutrient temps (18°C) mean fewer problems and healthier plants. If nutrient temps exceed 21°C, the quantity of dissolved oxygen that your nutrient solution can hold is drastically reduced and your reservoir becomes a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Every degree counts, especially during the summer – Icetube piping could well be the difference between a completely failed crop and a bumper harvest.
How Icetube 25mm Flexi-Pipe Works
However, Icetube 25mm Flexi-Pipe lowers the temperature of the nutrient solution in your system using a simple but effective dual-core design. A white outer layer reflects light and lowers heat levels within the pipe, while the black inner layer protects against UV. This helps keep nutrient cooler, therefore allowing more oxygen to exist in the water itself, more oxygen dissolved in your solution allows for a healthier root system, leading to bumper yields. The Icetube 13mm Flexi-Pipe has the added benefit of dramatically reducing the chances of getting pathogenic bacteria and fungi because of its temperature lowering abilities, again down to fact you've got more dissolved oxygen in your nutrient solution.
