They do a better job of removing nutrient build up on media like the geolite and when flushing soils you don't have to pour as much water threw the pot in order to achieve a good flush. Remember just giving a plant plain water the last few weeks is not flushing a plant like everybody thinks.

Ok, now if your hydro just using water pretty much is a flush since the medium can't hold nutrients in most cases. Now with soil things are a little different. With soils you can withhold the water but the soil can hold nutrients for weeks. With soils you have to treat like they are over fertilized and pour water threw em in the standard method for treating over fed plants. When you just give plants in soil plain water they are using up the remaining nutrients in the soil not the remaining nutrients in the plant which is what you want.
