I understand how hydroponic and aeroponic systems work, and I have a general idea of the parts I need, but I've never seen anyone actually go into detail about the power of a pump (GPH)
and how it correlates to the length of pipes it can go through,
diameter of pipes,
what types of misters to use (some require A LOT of pressure),
etc.
If I have a 20 gallon tote, does that mean I'm aiming at at least a 20 GPH pump? 40? 100?
And if I have a 200 GPH pump, what diameter should the tubes be?
I know next to nothing about water pumps but wouldn't having narrow tubes create back pressure wearing down the pump?
and having too wide would lower pressure coming out of the misters
help ..!
