Thanks for that. I remember overhearing this alternative setup (to a "proper jet pump style pump") mentioned part of a gml show I was trying to skim through for useful information.
What exactly are they called, pump pressure tank, accumulation tank?

I don’t know how to post a link to Amazon. Anyway, do a search for 2 gallon Accumulator tank, with wall mount, 1/2” NPT. That is the tank, you can buy the pre-particulate filter here as well.
This is the pump that I use.

yes i use the PCJCNL 4liters/hour in a top fed nft setup, with biofilter in the reservoir. i recover condensation from AC and dehu, it drip directly to my res. perfect to use with benneficials like i do (i mycorize my rockwool)
house garden drip clean is a must if you use PC drippers, even more if you use hard water. 1mL per 10 liter will keep drippers very clean
i buy it by 250mL directly on house garden webshop
I use Jacks right now.
I don't wanna use blumats though, I don't trust them for anything but plain water, just from what I read long ago.

no need for a one so expensive. the one is use cost 80euro, husqvarna motor. "gardena 3000/4"
but i would be curious to see if i can find another one, more expensive, that can do the job quieter.
for 600dollar it must be a big ass pump

I haven't, not really. But partly because of indecisiveness, and the other due to cost. I've got something set up, for the moment, but it's not what I'd have liked, or planned. But their whole setup, at least this run, is not well planned - it just had to be done.Have we gotten any further ? im tired of wand watering...
Good to see ya 2com. hope all is well!
Also, I keep having rdwc pop into my mind, which is pretty easy, but does present it's own challenges... or costs I should say.
Fuckin' hand watering rockwool. Soul sapping.

I was shopping for prices as well as parts , now im so overwhelmed with everything , i dont even care about cost anymore , i just need a setup. I went to the local hydro store and it was just too much thinking without a list of parts...
Hand watering rockwool has to suck badly.

get some PC drippers, a tool to pierce the hoses at the right diameter(3x5mm, 4x6mm etc..), 3/4 LDPE hose for the main line, one anti return valve, a good pump, a filter(optionnal), some plasson fittings and you're good to go
