    How to build a return pump setup in an ebb and flow table setting

    Thank you! Which Noah is it? Can you call him into this thread please? I need this get done... I take tap water from somewhere else run it through osmotic filters and then carry it to the other place. Now I will probably buy another 100 gallon reservoir for just the nutrient solution. There...

    How to build a return pump setup in an ebb and flow table setting

    Hi, I need some advice how to properly drain back the nutrients from the ebb and flow tables into a rain water barell. I got delivered a reservoir where no pump was needed as it was pretty low. But it got delivered broken and I am not anymore convinced of the quality of this reservoir. Also I...

    How to set up solenoid valves for sequential ebb and flow table flooding?

    How much do I need if I have a 100 gallon reservoir? How much yield increase did you in notice? Or any other parameters which improved?

    How to set up solenoid valves for sequential ebb and flow table flooding?

    Thanks!!! But no need for voltage converters anymore! I did find solenoid valves for 220 - 240 volts. I now wonder how to prevent leakage in the case of timer or solenoid malfunction. And the other question I am trying to solve is if I should use magnetic or motor valves. What is a wetting...

    How to set up solenoid valves for sequential ebb and flow table flooding?

    Not an option. I have a 400 liter reservoir which needs to be enough.

    How to set up solenoid valves for sequential ebb and flow table flooding?

    Obviously there are valves for 220 to 240 Volts which I would need. I can easily attach a plug to them. :-D :-D I did find out there are magnetic valves and motor valves... The magnetic valves open when there is electricity and as soon the electricity is gone the valve closes. With the motor...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    I am going to get this kind of hose. It is a 1 inch hose which is used for suction. Hoses for suction dont twist easily and don't deflate. Imagine if you would put a pump on the hose and suck something and then the hose is only moved a bit and suddenly nothing works anymore because it is...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    I am going to get some which are similar like the ones on the picture. I realized there is a valve at the inlet. These vavles are there for regulating the inlet? If his works it would make it easier to match the waterflow properly in relation to the overflow or filling time. Somehow this valve...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    the pump has 19 mm (3/4 ") / 25mm (1" ) / 33 mm (1 1/4 "). and the ebb and flow inlet and overflow have each 1". So should I take a 3/4 " hose to flood the table (surely I can connect the 3/4 hose to the 1" inlet somehow) and then use a 1" hose for the overflow? It seems like going bigger...

    @HydroRed What tubing size should I go for? Will 3/4" be enough?

    How to set up solenoid valves for sequential ebb and flow table flooding?

    Hi, I have four 4x4 ebb and flow tables in a row. My reservoir is not big enough to flood them all. So I want to flood and drain one after the other. I thought I will use solenoid valves for that purpose. I looked at the valves from Hunter...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    I don't really understand that... If you put everthing in the res and then adjust then you get the desired values. But if you premix and then put the solution in the res you will create a mixture between the values of the res and the premixed solution, which will be something else. Yes I did...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    So when you added the the nutes, booster, H2o2 then pH, then you did put it directly into the reservoir or did you create a solution which you put into the reservoir? I guess it is the first option? I need to put the H2o2 on my list. Some people seem to advise the use of 35% percent H2O2...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    So 2 times in an 8 wk flower period might be good. But did you use a product like forakleen against the salt built up when you didn't change the res? Actually please tell me how did you notice salt built up? Actually I googled a bit more and did find another variant: There are two ways to...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    haha, that guy he said he never tried that advanced method before but it is his first try after years of theorising. :-D So you do a clean up while growing not only between the grows? I did read of somebody using forakleen. http://gb.eurohydro.com/florakleen.html If I use that, do I never...

    Looking for a good and reliable pump for reservoir for two 4x6 ebb and flow tables

    Glad to see you here! :-) Yes I heard about the salt buildup. What is it exactly? Is it the thing that plants consume different amounts of different nutrients and when adding back nutrients you create more and more an uneven distribution of nutrient in the reservoir? The thing I am wondering...

    Which is the best HPS DE combo?

    They also claim about the material of the Avenger reflector the following: This is the most reflective and most durable reflective surface on the market and it will maintain full refection for up to 20 years.. :-D Gavita recommends to swap reflector every year. Somebody else said the contacted...

    Which is the best HPS DE combo?

    Some info I got from the adjustAWings: [...] I designed the Hellion 600-750W to be the best performing 600W unit on the market,,,,, and it has the added bonus of being able to be super boosted to 750W if the grower feels the need. Run the lamps between 45cm & 70cm above the crop, depending on...
