 pump, pump, pump it up! | |
make sure that the tuperware container you are goingto use is not clear plastic. you want to keep light from reaching the roots. second, running an air line thru the pvc pipe might cause it to spray erraticly if not, you might even pump water to your airpump causing it to "short" out. the water pump is much stronger than an air pump. i believe that an airstone/wand might prove to be better if place at the bottom of the reseviour.
i know that most pumps can take in air ,venturi style, but the output of the pump has little or no restriction. but when suppling water to a nozzle or series of nozzles, builds up back pressure, and will overpump the small air pump, even with checkvalves!
Peace!
