Yeah... you can also connect with hoses/PVC pipe all the buckets, and then have one 'distribution' bucket to which all hoses connect.

Now, your toilet floating valve is installed only on this distribution bucket. All the buckets will mantain the same level as your distribution bucket.

Understand? I realize I might be too stoned to be writing this in-coherently...
turtle420 Reviewed by turtle420 on . DWC Explanation....? Deep Water Culture... it seems like everybody is using this type of system... can somebody tell me a quick explanation of an easy setup... like what pumps it uses and what not. I guess I'm also interested in those setups that have like 50 little buckets and what not... and a main resevoir... how does that work? This may seem like a ridiculous question... but... how does the pump not over flow the smaller resevoirs? Is there an overflow pipe or somethin? If any of this doesn't make sense... Rating: 5
