You DO almost have it.....but the air pump is actually pulling water IN from the last w/f and gravity is pushing it back out the other side instead of the other way around
Just like in each individual w/f pod....the airline is pulling water up the column and into the drip ring from the bottom of the bucket ....the only thing missing is the drip ring itself.
okay so now once the water leaves the tube, where does it go? Is it hooked right up to the first waterfarm in each row? And if thats the case, how do you adjust PH of the water once its in circulation (for whatever reason i have problems with unstable and constantly rising PH).
wow...i get it now, I digs this! no electric pump, gravity fed, right?

Exactly Stealth......the only electrical is the air pump and it's actually working on suction to draw the water in and up.....exactly the same way it does in each module.
Slothy....It comes in and up the tube and out the top (picture a drip ring at the top.) Water pops out the top and back into your rez...and the outtake line sends it to the very first waterfarm it's hooked up to by gravity from the resevoir itself just as if you were filling the entire system up through the top of the rez.
The Ph....GH always said you could control you ph and nutes from the central resevoir but anyone who uses them knows thats a bunch of bs......you have to check and adjust each pod individually or you're screwed.....BUT if the water is constantly recirculating you REALLY CAN just check and adjust the ph...in the bottom rez only instead of each individual module. You'll also have a more stable ph in general since the water is constantly remixing and circulating.
for those interested in buying this upgrade, GH will sell them directly to you if you call them (the number is on they're site). I dont think they sell to individuals often but be polite and they'll help ya out.
So did you get one Slothy?

Great to have the boards back. Have to learn to type again. LOL:jointsmile::jointsmile:
BEEN SMOKING ALOT MORE.....
WH With the system what do you think if I drill a hole and put an air stone in the bottom with another pump?
OMG, Im laughing my ass off weedhound!!! I know everything your talking about, I have brain damage from what I learned from Dec till now. Really I wish I could report Im smoking the pounds I got off my first grow :yippee: so thats why I havent been around much. Nothing like that, but its better then the boring truth im just in la la land.
So I cant wait to read up what Ive missed.
