The customer is based in the Maldives and works in the tourism industry. In recent years, growing attention to sustainable food supply has led him to explore the potential of hydroponic farming in island environments. With extremely limited arable land across the Maldives, traditional soil-based agriculture is difficult to scale, making water-efficient, soil-free hydroponic systems a practical alternative.
After initial research and system comparison, the customer decided to start with a home-based hydroponic setup. He selected the 8P10 vertical hydroponic tower system and installed it on his home balcony. Featuring a multi-layer vertical structure, the 8P10 tower offers a small footprint with high planting density, making it well suited for residential balconies and other space-limited areas while supporting daily household vegetable production.
The 8P10 hydroponic tower uses a recirculating nutrient solution to deliver water and nutrients directly to plant roots. Compared with traditional soil cultivation, the system significantly reduces water consumption and eliminates dependence on local soil conditions, which can be inconsistent in island regions. The system is suitable for growing lettuce, spinach, herbs, and other leafy greens, with a simple and intuitive operation that requires only regular water and nutrient replenishment.

The customer has now completed installation and begun seedling propagation and planting trials. Through hands-on use, he has gained practical insight into the feasibility of vertical hydroponic systems for household use in island climates, laying the groundwork for exploring more stable and localized vegetable production solutions in the future.
