Origin Small System (formerly Wilma) - 4-Pot Recirculating Dripper Kit
Best for: growers wanting a compact, ready-made recirculating drip-feed system for up to 4 plants on a 60cm x 60cm footprint.
Our thoughts
You'll see this system listed under two names right now - Origin and Wilma - because the manufacturer has been rebranding the long-running Wilma range as Origin. Same hardware, same reliable recirculating design, just a new name on the box. Great value and genuinely easy to run once it's plumbed in.
Origin systems (previously sold as Wilma) are recirculating drip-feed hydroponic systems: pots sit on a base tray connected to a reservoir and pump, nutrient solution drips into each pot on a timer, and any runoff drains back to the reservoir rather than being wasted. This Small system comes with a 60cm x 60cm base and, in this listing, 4 x 11-litre pots. It's designed to work in almost any free-draining growing medium, including coco, clay pebbles and soil.
How it compares
It's a ready-built kit rather than a DIY setup.
- vs building your own drip system: comes as a matched, ready-to-plumb kit rather than piecing together a reservoir, pump and drippers separately
- vs dripper-to-waste setups: Origin/Wilma recirculates runoff back to the reservoir instead of letting it drain away, so less nutrient solution is wasted
- vs larger Origin/Wilma sizes: this Small system's 60cm x 60cm footprint suits a tent corner or small grow area rather than a full room
In plain terms: an established, proven recirculating system at a price that makes sense for a compact grow.
Usage guidance
Setting up
Position the base tray, place the pots, then connect the pump and drip lines following the included manual.
Feeding
Fill the reservoir with your nutrient solution - the pump drip-feeds each pot on a timer and drains excess back to the reservoir.
Media
Fill pots with coco, clay pebbles or another free-draining medium - avoid waterlogged or soggy mixes that won't drain properly.
Maintenance
Change the reservoir solution regularly and clean the drip lines periodically to avoid blockages.

- Anyone upgrading from hand-watering to a recirculating drip system
- Budget-conscious growers wanting a proven, simple hydro system rather than building their own
Our take
Origin (Wilma, as most growers still know it) has been a dependable name in recirculating hydro systems for years, and the rebrand hasn't changed what's actually in the box. Good value for money and genuinely easy to run once you've plumbed it in.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out. Worth picking up if you're moving up from hand-watered pots.
