Ebb and Flood Floors An ebb and Flood Floor, or "Culture Floor" is a combination of three systems: water, heat and internal transport. 
There are many reasons to invest in a "Culture Floor" system. These advantages make a "Culture Floor" system the optimum way to produce a crop today. The system: - Saves on labor
- Saves energy
- Improves working conditions by allowing cleaner hygiene.
- Improves the uniformity of crop production
- Has the capability of mechanization
- Allows water to be recirculated for environmental reasons.
 
The investment in a "Culture Floor" system is expected to pay for itself by increasing plant production and allowing labor savings due to more uniform growing. A correct floor system has many demands: - Uniform distribution of water, nutrients, and heat
- Allowing transport in all directions without obstructions
- Easy cleaning after removal of the crop
- Easy operation without environmental objections
- Economical feasibility
With the installation of a culture floor system, you are able to keep the water on the floor for any chosen period of time. This can be very practical for instance when watering bedding platns before delivery. A culture floor provides even distribution of water over the entire crop and creates a barrier between the natural soil and pots. This prevents diseases and pesticides from being transferred. A correctly installed culture floor system in the hands of a good grower is a great tool to a cost-effective plant production!
