what type of psi you have going to the nozzels to allow the siphon action. maybe increasing the pressure will cause the siphon action to speed up. or maybe you can shorten the length from which it has to siphon upwards. that might cause it to siphon quicker. also using a solenoid to open the...

there used in the fish industry as a biofilter media. they are weighted so they are almost as heavy as hydroton but dont hold much water like hydroton. i hope they work cause i am fed up with trying to clean both hydroton and lava rock. i need something clean right out of the box. they kinda...

i use to use those rapid rooters in my lp systems. they do degrage over time and go into the system. i wouldnt dream of using them on this sytem cause things got to stay cleaner cause there is no high flow to wash shit out. especially if i was still in recirculating mode. now DTW probably could...

the misting looked very good on my monitor. very crisp and short enough to not drench the roots by the looks of it. although only real world test will determine for sure. the problem with the bottom up idea that i can see is if you achieve what your aiming for (fine fluffy roots) it might not...

i do agree with the idea of the filter down. i think thats the way thierr suppose to be positioned. dont know this for sure but have never seen one horizontal. now as far as where the filter should go i have mine right after the pump but before the accumulator. the idea is to catch anything...

where did the cuts come from? how long were they in veg? under what type of light in veg? why i ask is because if the cuts came from plants that were in flower stage and you rooted them under floros or weak light and then throw them under intense light some stains will start kicking out 3...

wow 140 psi you were getting out of that thing. man you dont need a different pump if that thing can pump up to that pressure. get the accumulator and set it for around 80-100. that should fire those nozzels real nice. and that pump should be able to pump the accumulator to those pressures...

the video looks cool. from the shots of the mist youll be drenching them with that setting. i know your just playing now but that is way to much mist. are you going to keep the top and bottom spray bars installed or are you just using for testing. if my math is right (wheres atomizer when you...

the pressure relief valve you found is it brass or ss. if ss. where you find it. i tryed in vain to find a reasonablely priced ss one but gave up and bought a brass one and put a check valve on it so whatever solution comes in contact with the brass can only go one way and not return into the...

It`d be a lot more violent than that..you`d need the builders in afterwards :) lol!!!!!!! just add the pressure refief valve and sleep well.

when i was looking for a pump i checked the aquatec pumps out also and i had to call the manufactue to get the info. after talking to the rep at the company i went with the shurflow because the rep told me if i wanted the flow and pressure i requested thier best pump could do it but it wasnt...

if you were getting 50 psi before with the pump then you will get 50psi or more if you put a cheap accumulator in. i think it would be a cheap, quick fix instead of getting a new pump. ive used the type pump you have and they work good with a cheap well accumulator tank at 40-60 psi. just put a...

Fatman you ever check your pm's.

you will have to run a good filter to keep the nozzels clean. you can run very low nute concentrations if you have short enough cycle times as not to drench the roots. IMHO the micron size might be alittle too small. this small might cause an excess of root hairs or not sustain enough moisture...

i doubt anyone is using one here but the guys have been discussing air assisted nozzels in the thread "My true HP aero plug and play pods" should be able to get some info that might help.

Fatman wouldnt one expect the runoff PH to be higher if the input ppm was 650 PH5.3 and the runoff came out at ppm400 ph 5.8. just the lowering of the total ppm should cause the ph to rise. am i wrong on this.

no they dont look like that. im still at a low EC level compared to any other hydro system im familiar with. im finishing at 650ppm .5 conversion. i actually think the only thing wrong was i was a little to light on the feeding going into the first couple weeks of high demand requiered from...

i dont know if this will help you but ive used those exact sprayers before with 40-60 psi and i used 4 of them in a 20 gallon container surrounding 1 10 inch netpot. it worked great at filming the roots with a spray but doesnt engulf the whole container instantly with mist. the arrangments you...

youll get probably 70 micron if you can keep the pump at 50 psi always. of coarse if you use a cycle timer youll not be getting 50 psi always cause the pump will take a bit to get to 50psi and then when shut off will take a bit to go to zero psi. And if you run the sprayer constantly youll be...

you know im thinking about just eliminating the return lines back to the sunken res for the runoff. reason being is it takes to long with the little flow that goes thru the system to gauge whats actually happening in the pods using the runoff numbers as a guide. what you put in the res doesnt...
