Hello again everyone. I tried to type up an apology the other day, for the ranting and raving that I did a little ways back, when I was in severe pain and frustrated, but the damn site logged me off right before I sent it, so here it is, again. Lol. I honestly and sincerely apologise for wasting precious thread space on my personal BS. I'll try and stick to posting about the system, use paragraphs, and use a spell checker from here on out. Lol. Oh yeah, and I was also wanting to thank WhiteDiamond for the Rep on the PVC toxicity question that I answered.
Now since that is out of the way, I have a question. Has any one on here attempted to build a system out of fuel pumps and injectors? I think I am going to try it. It will certainly be easier on the clone and veg units. I have experimented with the pumps and injectors, and as a mechanic, I know they put off a much finer mist, meaning even more aeration. I figure the screen will filter large particles, the 12v pump is submerged and powered by an array of 12v batteries, then the solution is filtered with a large fuel filter(possibly a diesel truck filter), then
hopefully the roots are simply and gently sprayed.
I'll start a thread soon if it sounds interesting to all of you. Right now I just want to see what the best grow thread out there has to say about all of this. I'm just trying to share some technical love. I have fuel pumps, batteries, wire, and I am just a few items short of actually doing this thing!
On to the electrical. I mentioned a 12v system comprising of; multiple large batteries wired parallel(anything 12v), a good battery maintainer, timer( the line voltage timers we already use can be used with this too, just to trigger the 12v side), but I think I will experiment with windshield wiper delay modules and try to extend the on an off time, since they use 12 volts also. Can you guess what this kind of setup also mimics? The cheapest and best damn uninterruptible power supply you could possibly have!!! If the power goes out, the pumps never get interrupted. The only thing that happens, is the maintainer doe not charge the batteries for a while. With enough car batteries wired in parallel(positive to positive, and negative to negative) this should have the capability of running for days, or maybe even weeks, with out a recharge! I need feedback on this one fellows. I want to try and figure out some of the kinks before the build. How about it?
It will do all the justice!
