so its really a recirc hempy with a thin base to deal with the PWT. I think i get it.

ps if you zip the PDF it might be less gigawatts.

Below is a link to Zeke99's PPK Index Page. Lots of good links to D9's original thread. Should be a big help cutting through to the info needed to understand and build the units. The link in the index to the PDF file is dead. I have the PDF file but its too large to post and can't be compressed enough to let me upload it. If someone can accept it by email and host a copy for others to download, let me know by PM and I will send it. It has the pictures and description.

Thanks for your help DocCrow. I just uploaded mine too. If I post mine maybe we can get it out to twice as many people

That pdf is a great start but I would change the control bin to the new set-up. An easy improvement that will allow saturation pulsing.

Zeke's wicked pulse index Below gives you all of the new details after you read the pdf and get an understanding of how the system works.

i just bend laterals slowly at the stem. they seem to take a set after a few corrections. fast movement snaps them. i use both hands holding the main stem in one and the branch in the other and slowly bend the branch itself as close to the node as possible. you can feel it give.

also, this reminds me to correct an error. i said the little hole in the bottom of the float control box should be 5/32". this is wrong. it should be 3/32" instead.

this thread is really taking off

ok a question :

i can get a square pot in pot setup where the inner pot is 18 litres (4.7 gal) and the outer pot is 24 litres (6.3 gal). This means the bottom pot has an extra 6 litres (1.5 gal) in it. This makes the bottom pot 1/3 more again than the top pot, or the top pot 3/4 the size of the bottom pot.

if i stuck a short tailpipe in the smaller pot and made that a PPK am i going to regret having either a small res or a small air gap below ?

Im thinking heavy / regular pulses to make sure it doesnt dry out.
Im thinking only filling up the smaller pot to approx 3 gal, the extra lip will ensure that stuff doesnt fall out of the pot

EDIT : I just realised that the top pot also has holes already, so water is going to drip thru them as well as run down the tailpipe in flush. I cant see that being a problem.
