Pump and Tank questions for Aeroponics
I'm creating a high pressure system and tonight I tested it. Fail! It would seem that the pump I bought it too powerful or something. The water is coming out at the misters really hot. What I think is that the pump needs more flow then what I am allowing and thus the pump is probably working harder then it needs too and causing the water in the chamber to boil over. I think most industrial aero setups use a tank between the pump and misters so that's what I am going to do unless I hear something better. Hopefully I can get a tank at Lowes rated for 125psi and connect that to a sprinkler solenoid. The pump will need some sort of shut off sensor for when the tank is full. Hopefully this will even out the mister pressure which seems erratic, reduce the water temperature and save the pump some unnecessary work.
What kind of tank and solenoid should I be looking to get? I'm really getting tired of all the trial and error and guess work.Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on .
