valve controller
Hi Ron, My name is Leslie and im new to hydroponics. I have my 9 plant garden in the works and a couple questions arose.
1) I have a 11.5 Rubbermaid reservoir and the only pump that I can locate is a 150 GPH. I already built my overflow pipe , is this pump considered small enough? I don't need a valve controller do I? 2) Also what is a good timer? What timer do you use?? 3) I know that you cap off 3 corners of the tees in the 9 plant garden, but the 4th is where the pump hose goes through. I know that but if im using 1 inch pvc, do I use a threaded tee and 1/2 in hose connector for the 4th corner?? Thanks Ron Ill keep in touch! |

That size is fine and you will know if you need a flow control valve if water comes out the little hole on top of the over flow pipe.
I use the cheap kind for some gardens with overflow pipes and an $80. Dayton cycle timer for my large gardens without overflows. That is correct. |
