Hi Ksj, I have some 50' of 1/4" black tubing and 1/2" black tubing coming. I ordered a bulkhead fitting and 1/4" adapter. I forgot the other two bulkhead fittings I need for the control pail. I may just have to run strait into the primary res. from the secondary res. without moving the float into a control pail. The diagram is great thanks for taking the time.
Glad i could help[emoji2]
That "controller with the float valve" is the only way to make a steady water level in your res
(bucket with your plants).
If you don't have a top up res, to feed your controller, your waterlevel wil go down.
It's the only way to do it,, with a float valve!!!!!!!!
Well it all depends when your roots,will fuck with your float valve,
The float valve will be closed ore open
Open == flodded main res,, hope you don't have any eletrical things near your grow,, a second res with 10l of water pouring out and nobody home====fire hasard,
Closed: no feed to your plants,, !!!!!!
Just my 2 cents,,
Other way to feed your "main res" could be this:
1.Bucket
1.aquarium hose with a valve to control the air pressure from aquarium airpump(you don't need the airpump).
Put the bucket above your water level.
Put the hose with the atached valve in the bucket.
Do like if you would steel gaz from a car... Suck on that hose end until you see gaz comming thru it, in this case water,
Adjust the valve so it will give water slowly.
Put the hose (valve end) in your main res,
You now have a steady feed to your main res,
Adjust the valve so you would feed the main res acording to your plants water uptake.
You basically siphon water from a bucket to your res,
The valve is to adjust the amount of water,
This is the macgyver solution[emoji317]
The other way is better!!!!!!!
Ones again im stoned,
Hope it made sense
