went to harbor freight the other day to look at this pump. it is not submersible. is that bad or just an extra step in setting it up?Is this pump submersible? How do you hook up to the rez just a hose on both ends i suppose? i know its probably a stupid question.
Nahhhh.....I'd rather learn from the experience of others. I don't need to intentionally add anything else in my life that I already know will cause me misery. Those type of things find me without my cooperation.
If I can get the drippers to water evenly, AND they are simpler and less expensive than Blumats....that would equal a win for me.
Thanks again for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the info Aspenou812! Working my way through the 54+ pages now.You should have a look at my thread,
You should have a look at my thread, I dont use drippers but all 6 of my hydro halos put out within 1.5 ounces of each other...... and all the information is in my thread so you can build a system like mine if it tickles your fancy....[URL=https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=70660&pictureid=1705537&thumb=1]View Image[/url] [URL=https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=70660&pictureid=1705536&thumb=1]View Image[/url] [URL=https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=70660&pictureid=1705535&thumb=1]View Image[/url]
Keep in mind there a different pump types to do different jobs. Brand name really has no effect on a the "job". Little giant and others make a couple types etc (mag, diaphgram, jet ...etc). So just buying a brand "x" pump isnt going to make all things happen. You got to buy brand "x" 's "diaphragm" pump if thats what you need. Or brand Y's jet pump etc..
Try using a mag pump to drive pc emitters and let me know how that works out for ya.
By the specs its seems the pump is just shy of being able to run octa-bubblers which require 20psi. But would work great for other types of emitters.
Sounds like you know what you're talking about. How about some DTW pump recommendations? Different pumps for different jobs?Keep in mind there a different pump types to do different jobs. Brand name really has no effect on a the "job"..
Mag submersible pumps are what you recommend and use? Thanks. Any particular models/brands for the rec grower with less than say 10 plants?..you see more mag drive pumps in the bottom of res on these threads for one reason, and one reason alone... DEPENDABILITY.....
