ACT's and Drip Line Discussion

[analogcricket]

What are the best drip lines to use when using ACT's? And what is a good way to prevent blockage?

thanks!

a good filter and open lines with micro valves

There is not much point in using an inline filter with ACT. We used it through a pumped irrigation system for years but it was essential to use an extractor mesh in the bioreactor.

what did you use at the ends of the lines to not clog up?

just wondering how to setup a drip system using ACTs. ill be using a mesh bag in the bioreactor.

I used 5 gallon wine filtering bags and a biofilter bucket. both worked, paint strainer bags would prob work too...inline filter would clog a lot ....I didnt ever even try using drippers open lines with micro valves...I am sure whatever microbeman recommends would be better than what I did as he is way smarter about that stuff than me ......peace
