Help me pick a pump for my dripper set up - Growing in Coco Coir - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I was wondering if anyone could help me pick out a pump for my dripper setup. I play on running 4 dutch leech trays with 20 sites. I was wondering if anyone has a pump in mind for this setup. Also which drippers do you all reccomend??

I used a eco 264 for 18 plants. The table is probably 3 ft high(height must be taken intto account). I think mag drives are better though and if you go w/ those a 250 should serve you well.

Table is also about 3ft high. So you would say a mag drive 250 would be sufficient?

Should be. If you are buying from a hydro store most will let you return if it doesn't work out for you. Just make sure you run straight water and no nutes and then let it dry before returning and they wont care.
W/ my 18 site the 264 seemed to just barely do it but the mags being much nicer i would think the 250 could handle the 20 sites just fine.

just make sure you buy the correct pump for the drip setup you plan to use. ideally get both of the same supplier.

gaiusmarius would you say that a 250 gph magdrive would be the correct pump for my setup that I listed?

Was hoping this thread would get more attention. There isnt a hydro shop within 100 miles of me, so I'd like to try to get the correct pump on the first go at it and not have to make the long trip twice.

i'm also interested in a simple dripper setup.. do they just sell kits with everything you need to get it running or do i have to map out all the individual pumps, lines, etc. and get them individual?

seems like someone would have easy compatible kits..
