"Magdrive" type pumps have no oil, the motor is coupled to the impeller by magnetism. I have the smallest model (there are a number of nearly identical brands) and I do notice a couple degrees F temp rise if I leave it running.
Just looking to irrigate. So, filtration is *key*, good to know! We do have problems with emitters clogging due to our very, very hard well water. And rocks.I haven't used the tape but have heard good things about it. The most crucial thing with it though is the filtration before anything goes into the tape. You can not replace individual emitters in the tape since they are built in. At least when a dripper clogs, you can cut it out and replace it!
Also, with organic nutrients, you are asking for trouble if you try and run them through the tape or emitter system! For fresh water, you are good to go.
Magnet driven impeller, is what it's called. The motor is sealed in epoxy, and it is its magnet that makes the impeller move."Magdrive" type pumps have no oil, the motor is coupled to the impeller by magnetism. I have the smallest model (there are a number of nearly identical brands) and I do notice a couple degrees F temp rise if I leave it running.
The magnet attached to the impeller will come into contact with the water/feed.Does the magnet come in contact with the solution? Won't opposingly charged elements stick to the magnet, causing deficiencies? Like wouldn't iron stick to the magnets? And wouldn't that interfere with ppm readings? I just don't like the idea of magnets in my res.
