website for the 2 inch rubber grommets or (uni seals) so you can use the 2 inch pvc pipe. If this thread is still alive! http://www.aussieglobe.com/
Looking for a place that i can order the 8 gallon square buckets with the lids?

Who said it leaks?

I'd happily pay $2k for a system that's been iterated on. Practice makes perfect, and bringing a product to market generally adds a lot of polish.

When they've built it to properly mate to lighting, etc. that makes me believe they've put a lot of thought into it. Thought and practice take money and time, and time is money. :-)

If it does leak, that would change my mind entirely. :-)

Like this sytem; New to the Boards

I have followed this thread on the Under Current DWC Hydro system and found the posts and links of value. I ordered the buckets, came lightening fast, and the seals.

Has anyone yet built one of these systems?

Or has anyone used one of these systems?

I have been using DWC with 5gal buckets then expanded up to 16 gal totes to give more room for the roots.

Been using Advanced Nutes, and have had great results.

I hope to post photos soon, need to learn my way aroung the boards.

Just wanted to find out the progress on the Under Current system.

I heard that but its not certain, either way he does talk about problems he has had with the system but its pretty automated. pics dont lie either

Let's put the pieces together

I got the 8 gal buckets and the seals, thanks TX for the link, Pump and Air so all that is left is to put it all together.

I am going to start out with 4 square buckets and two 400 watt HID lights.

Will post pix as I go along. New to board so learning curve is steep at the moment.

Suggestions appreciated,


Wags

It looks like the drain does not work by gravity but by the force of a pump . Is there a pump after the last pot to get it up into the reservoir?
