Well I am clearly of a different mind set to what DWC is (IMO) ○●■□°¤▪♢☆♤ DWC can be used in many different ways such as my bucket setups or something like that in the commercial vegetable garden where 50ft long flood tables are in a circular motion where it just has a pump at one end of the line where it travels to the beginning point of the same or next table I have something similar to this in my current double stacker DWC table room i guess you could say it is a hybrid of undercurrent and dwc I use a soaker hose 1/4" for air stones running in between the ruts in the tables design. As for parts and all that the only extra parts I have on it are three hoses and two fittings that you never do anything to.... well at least I never have I run them in hot water with bleach after each run but it just sets in the bucket I was already going to use on the bucket and basket so for complexity sake this is honestly only three tube connected as one you have your air hose your insulator hose or upward motion hose whatever you want to be calling it, last the ring on top everything else but the T and the Y are just optional bits to make it face looking but in no way necessary for the use of ot and what the difference between the two
same here after the vortex I had at my shop I have been finding very which way to utilize this best part to me is it cost me $18 to make one thinking along the lines of other systems that do what these do it is more than way worth it man. Honestly just go give it a shot I'll bet you surely do better than ever before if you use dwc often that is. I am sure you must have a spare air pump and hose laying around somewhere if you do just add bucket basket and the three piece manifold, and you are cooking with fire mate.
