Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays | Run to Waste System Australia

Hydroponic Run Off Trays: Efficient Drainage for Run-to-Waste Systems

Run off trays provide a simple and effective solution for managing nutrient drainage in hydroponic and soil-based grow systems. Designed for run-to-waste setups, these trays enable controlled collection and removal of excess nutrient solution while maintaining a clean and stable growing environment.

Available in 15" and 22" sizes, these trays are optimised for use with fabric pots and standard plant containers. Each tray is fitted with a precision-moulded 19 mm drainage outlet and elbow, directing run off efficiently to a single drain point or central collection system.

The integrated drainage point also functions as a monitoring location for pH and EC readings, allowing growers to assess nutrient uptake and optimise feeding strategies in real time.

The rigid construction prevents bowing under load, ensuring consistent drainage performance even in high-volume watering systems.

This system is ideal for growers searching for run off trays Australia, hydroponic drain trays, run to waste systems, or drainage solutions for fabric pots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays suitable for beginners?

Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays is designed for straightforward assembly and operation. Most hydroponic systems require basic understanding of nutrient mixing, pH management, and water change frequency. As a beginner, the most important habits to develop are daily monitoring of pH and EC, regular reservoir top-ups with pH-adjusted water, and weekly or fortnightly full nutrient solution changes. Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays comes with setup instructions to get you started.

How often should I change the nutrient solution in Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays?

For most recirculating systems, perform a full reservoir change every 7–14 days during active growth. In smaller systems or with heavy nutrient demand, changes may be needed more frequently. Between changes, top up with pH-adjusted plain water as the reservoir level drops — plants drink water faster than nutrients so EC naturally rises over time.

What nutrients are compatible with Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays?

Run Off Trays 15" & 22" Hydroponic Drain Trays is compatible with all liquid hydroponic nutrients. Terra Aquatica (formerly General Hydroponics) TriPart, NovaMax, and DualPart ranges are excellent choices for beginners and experienced growers alike. For coco-based systems, use a coco-specific A+B nutrient formula. Always follow the manufacturer's mixing instructions and check pH and EC after mixing.
