im planning to build a misting aeroponic unit and have bought a pump and misters:

2200L/H Submersible Water Pump 56W Hydroponics Aqua

100 Botanicare 180 and 360 Degree Aeroponic Mister

in gallons thats about a 600gph pump. how many sites would this pump feed??
i want this unit to be used for flowering but if its too small i can still go with cloner/vedge. what do other people use with that size pump??

i want to run 12 sites but because im running misters im not sure if the pump will be strong enough

na they are for spares or other projects, realistically i will use maybe 24, 2per plant...it will all depend on what the pump will manage.. cmoooon guys thought there wud be ish-loads of people with aero building experience

whatever this pump will be able to handle.. some posts on other websites have said the ez clone unit uses a similar size pump. but others use like 100gph pump for their diy ez cloners, considering that it might end up as a cloner, but i wanted to use a 50ish gallon tote, for flowering..

kinda pissed me off as I built it all to those specifications and no mention on what kind of pump to use. I first started withh a small 160 gph pump and it sucked. I now upgraded to a 435 gph pump and it is working great. Hopefully that helps out a little bit I know it's kind of confusing and a little bit trial and error but after the initial cost of setting it up you could make some changes pretty easily and cheaply.

I use a 500 gph little giant direct drive submersible. I think Ive got 20 sprayers on my rigs, spinners and the little red guys and it pumps just fine. Nowhere near high pressure but it definantly does the trick

im guessing thats a cloner, bleach?? or u flower with it?? i got a pond mister coming for a cloner, so ideally i want this to be for flowering.. but i guess it can be either depending on the res's size...

I actually was using it for a cloner, but i ended up turning the cloner into a veg/flower rig by using two roughnecks. One stacked on top of the other, the lid on the bottom one cut out just enough so that the top tote sits flat on top. The top tote has a shit load of holes drilled in the bottom to drain back into the lower res. The pump sits in the bottom and sprays into the top tote. Works awesome. Still have the plants sitting in the 2 inch pucks too even though the stems are almost an inch around now

thats rediculous! parts are taking a while to ship actually, but plans have changed, ive bought a 4x4 ebb and flow for flower and this mister build will be for cloning.. if anyone has experience going from aero clone to ebbnflo flower id appreciate a holla.. id assume it would work somehow .. but if its to much bullshitting round ill be using a heatmat, rockwool and propgation kit..
