01 / PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Understand the product and buying logic in one section.

expanded clay pebbles close detail of the structure
01

Four Grades

Pebbles are graded at 3-8, 8-12, 11-14 and 25-35 mm, from a fine bed topping to a coarse drainage layer.
02

pH Six Point Five

The fired clay sits between pH 6.5 and 7.0, close enough to neutral that it does not fight the nutrient solution.
03

Thirteen Kilo Bag

Bags are filled at 13 kg, a weight one person can carry up a ladder onto a bed.
04

Fired Red Clay

Clay is fired until it expands into a porous, reddish brown granule that holds air as well as water.
02 / TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION

Keep specifications readable instead of burying them inside a long page.

Expanded Clay Pebbles pH 6.5 to 7.0. Clay pebbles work because they hold air as well as water: the fired surface is porous. As a result, a flooded pot drains to a moist but oxygenated root zone. Four grades cover net pots through to deep bed media.

Key Features of the expanded clay pebbles

  1. Four grades from 3-8mm to 25-35mm.
  2. pH held between 6.5 and 7.0.
  3. Fired clay, reddish brown, porous surface.
  4. Holds air after draining, which is the point.
  5. Packed in 13 kilogram bags.
  6. Also used as aquarium and pond media.

Where the expanded clay pebbles is used

Net pot systems, deep bed media, aquaponic grow beds and aquarium filters where a stable, airy medium is needed.

Installation and System Integration

Rinse the pebbles before use, fill the pot or bed, then flood and drain as normal. The medium holds no nutrients itself. As a result, feed comes entirely from the solution.

Why Choose GNFORTUNE

Rinsing matters more than it looks: dust from the firing clogs pumps and skews the first reading of the tank. You can read more about the background of this method on Expanded clay aggregate.

Do they need replacing?

No, the pebbles are inert and last for years with occasional rinsing.

Is the pH stable?

Yes, fired clay sits near neutral at 6.5 to 7.0 and does not drift.

08 / BUYER FAQ

Questions buyers usually need answered before requesting a quote.

What crops are shown with this NFT gully?

The supplied product page shows strawberry and leafy-green greenhouse applications. Final planting spacing and layout should be confirmed for the specific crop and project.

Can the support system use different installation methods?

The supplied page shows both galvanized support stands and hanging greenhouse layouts. The final support configuration should be matched to the greenhouse structure.

Is this page intended for commercial greenhouse buyers?

The source material includes multi-row greenhouse installations and project photographs, so the redesigned page is structured around commercial and project-based buying decisions.

What information should be prepared for an RFQ?

For a useful project discussion, prepare the crop type, greenhouse dimensions, preferred row layout and any confirmed channel or support requirements.
