Tub Outlet Screen – Clog-Prevention Filter for Hydroponic Systems (Bag of 10)
System reliability is the foundation of a successful grow. The Tub Outlet Screen is an essential component for any tray-based hydroponic system, designed to act as a primary physical filter at the point of drainage. By pressing securely into your Tub Outlet or Tub Outlet Extension, these screens create a robust barrier that prevents large particles—such as expanded clay pebbles (hydroton), perlite, or loose root mass—from entering the return lines. This simple yet critical addition safeguards your plumbing from the frustrating blockages that can lead to reservoir overflows and uneven nutrient distribution, ensuring your ebb and flow system operates at peak efficiency.
Best For: Clog prevention in Ebb & Flow (Flood and Drain) trays, reservoir intake protection, and managing debris in high-flow drainage systems.
Key Features
- Industrial-Grade Filtration: Features a high-flow screen pattern that allows nutrient solution to drain rapidly while effectively trapping medium-sized substrate and organic debris.
- Perfect Friction-Fit: Engineered for a precise, tool-free installation. The screen presses firmly into standard tub outlets or extensions, staying securely in place even during high-volume flood cycles.
- UV-Stabilised Longevity: Constructed from horticultural-grade, UV-resistant plastic that won't become brittle or degrade under the intense radiation of LED or HPS grow lights.
- Easy-Clean Design: The smooth surface and accessible profile allow for quick removal and rinsing between grow cycles, maintaining maximum hygiene and flow rates.
- Universal System Compatibility: Designed to fit perfectly with SeaHawk and other industry-standard flood and drain bulkhead fittings.
- 10-Piece Bulk Pack: Provides enough filtration for multiple trays or large-scale multi-reservoir builds, making it a cost-effective solution for professional facilities.
Specifications
- Product Type: Tub Outlet Protective Screen
- Quantity: 10 Pieces per Bag
- Material: High-Impact, UV-Resistant Polymer
- Fitment: Standard Tub Outlets and Extensions
- Application: Hydroponics, Aquaponics, and Ebb & Flow Systems
Grower's Best Practices
- Root Management: During the late flowering stage, check screens periodically. Vigorous root systems can sometimes grow over the screen; a quick trim or clearing of the area ensures drainage remains unobstructed.
- System Sanitation: At the end of every harvest, remove the screens and soak them in a mild sanitising solution. This prevents the carry-over of pathogens or mineral salt build-up to your next crop.
- Dual Protection: Always use a screen on both the inlet and outlet of your flood tray. While the outlet is critical for drainage, an inlet screen prevents medium from falling into the feed line when the pump is off.
Ideal For (Uses)
- Ebb & Flow Trays: The standard choice for keeping hydroton or perlite out of your main reservoir.
- Gravity-Fed Drainage: Acting as a debris guard for drain-to-waste systems or recirculating tray setups.
- Reservoir Intake: Can be used as a pre-filter for pump intakes in reservoirs to prevent large particulates from damaging the impeller.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.
Lead Times:
- In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
- Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.
While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

- Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).
Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
