How parts of the world don't use metric is mind blowing. *Mind blown.
Ok my mind's ok again.
Great video!
Thanks for the video! I'm looking for a pump to use for a small balcony drip feed system, so pump throughput is not so important, but it needs to raise up by at least 2m. I've not found the graphs for the manufacturers I've looked at. Do you have any recommendations for pump manufacturers who do supply proper information, or specific pump types to look for?
k
How about 6 ft high?
Thank you… I'm getting ready to build my first system
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to learn about aquaponics courses try Aqua Recovery Tactics (http://aqua.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
How fast is too fast for a system, I have this old 1000gph pump, and my whole system is about 100 gallons for example, that's way faster than once per 2 hours its 10 times per hour, is that ok or is there even such a thing as too fast.
I bought a submersible pump for nozzle nebulization and having it 24-hour turn in on got wasted and every time were making work fewer nebulizers until were unable of making run any. do you know a good pump for making work from 80 to 100 nebulizers 24-hours without losing power??
That fucking chart showed no kind of information what so ever. You literally just drew a graph nothing on it actually meant anything what the fuck man
Can I put the air stone near water pump, so I dont have to cover the area of the whole tank ?, Bcause the water pump dont use all the water in the tank at the same time.
does hydroponic system require to move water 24 hrs per day? or can it run during the day and shutoff at night?
Hey, why don't we pay you to recommend a pump
Can is use my 720 lph pump for my 6 feet a frame nft system?
what about horizontal travel distance? I plan to use a 100 gallon drum of water to pump to 9, 7ft wire shelving units with 6 shelvles for micro greens.
So if the units at 4 feet long x 9 of them plus the 2 feet the barrel takes up. Would i need to calculate the distance traveled horizontally as well as the 9 , 7ft verticals the puml would need to climb?
question? required is 250m3 per hour @ 19m head, how much HP is equivalent to of ?
I use a 40gph for my nft system. Probably pumping water up 1.5ft. You don't need a massive pump once you have the head height. You can let gravity do the rest and adjust outflows to maintain water levels
What's "head height??"
I am thinking deep water culture might be less work, or I can simply take the vertical system down at night. This is turning out to be some concerns. I want to use solar system to power the greenhouse.
Hi, NEW to the system. CAN I TURN off my air pump at night? I ask because there are vertical systems and deep water culture. SO can I cut it off when I go to sleep? I am creating off the grid outside greenhouse. SECOND…. What happens if there is no pumping for 8 to 10 hours?
Dude head height is the height the pump can lift.. Pumps are the biggest part of my trade
Thank you for your immensely useful videos!! I have a question… I want to use 1 pump that comes to a T and splits into 2 separate grow beds via tubing for each bed. Does this effect the height for the pump? I'm confused, since I'm not actually pumping higher but it is two outlets. If you could give me advice, that'd be helpful.
Is 396gph pump good enough for a 20 gallon tank going up 4 feet for aquaponics
Video is simple and great. I love the whiteboard approach ^ ^
Do i keep the airpump on 24/7 with Hydroponics
To increase the efficiency of my pump I moved the reservoir and pump directly underneath the upside of my NFT system thus cutting down the pump tubing length to just 1/4 of the original. I connected a tube from the hydoponic outlet across to the reservoir and let gravity do the work. The pump now works smoother. Thanks.
Brilliant – thank you Nate – great video. I will apply. 🙂
hi I have a question about if I should run the pump on timer and how long or should I run the pump for 24 hours cause I read the stopping and starting for the pump can shorten it's working life. thanks
When doing a split system and a pump water is send 50% of water back to the fish tank and 50% to the grow beds …. does that mean the pump needs to be twice as large to fully circulate all the water through the entire system in the same 1-2 times per turn over rate?
I don't suppose you guys design systems do ya? I am planing quite a serous system to work off a fish farm I already have with 1800m3 of water in the pond and 10000kg of fish at full grown size per crop.
Would it hurt to go over rated, to cut back on what you allow the pump to pump. Would that damage your pump?
