Finally got my drip system installed!

Awesome.

thanks!

sweet! looks complicated lol be sure to get nitrate readings now and then again in a few weeks

thanks, its really not bad. water supply goes through the first solenoid (complete shut off in case of a power outage), then a pressure regulator, then to a sediment filter, then the chemilizer for dechlor dosing, and into the tank. bottom floatswch kicks on the drain pump, top float switch is wired to the second solenoid to shut off the water in case of pump failure. the growout pump station will do the same but the tanks will gravity drain to it then it will be dumped into the j-trap.

i would love to take readings but i don't have a test kit

looks crazy but glad it work out for you!

nah, not crazy, jut a bt more work because we have chloramines and i couldn't gravity drain the sump. i'm glad to have it!

Amesome. I love the drain into the flower bed. 40g a day in that bed might get to be too much. Can you extend it to water multiple locations?

I imagine you could just split the pipe and do whatever you wanted, it was just the closest spot . We have a bush growing there they has always been pretty lame so I hoping it will have a growth spurt this year. I had been draining the tank to the same flowerbed, doing normal changes, just further down. That bush grew so damn much last summer! Ha!

Far from it I'm afraid. But thanks for the kind mention.



BTW... Did the float valves come from jehmco as well?
