It's also gravity fed. It's strictly there for convenience. The thought behind the idea was to fill my lower and plant resevoirs a little faster than relying on the float valve for 30 gallons. I have valves on everything so I decide where it gets it's water and where it sends it.
Makes sense.
Welcome and thanks for the input. I'll mount the pump near the floor to see if that can remedy the situation.
Clean.
All those pumps are very loud, and the bad news is they get louder..
I run 2 of the https://kensfish.com/collections/alita-air-pumps-1/products/alita-al-40-linear-air-pump in my rooms, one is 10 yo the other is 3 yo with no problems
With how everything is plumbed, the check valves seem the easiest route. I can't source them locally so I have two on order.
So I'm seeing two different adapters to control a different light with ACs controller. Type A for 0-10v dimming and Tybe B for resistive dimming. The Type B is the one I want to control a spiderfarmer light (SE5000), correct? I'm under the impression it's just a potentiometer in the driver.
Sorry just saw this, it depends which ballast it came with I believe. Spider Farmer branded ballast takes the type B but there is a compatibility chart that will verify.
Looking good man, big day!
Ok cool, man. I'll look for that chart, thanks.
Is that 510 ppm reading straight out of the tap?
I'm very pressed for space so I would have to add the RO resevoir in the crawlspace. I really don't like that idea, but I'll do what's necessary. That just sets me back a little further. Better to be as well prepared as possible, I suppose. I'm just not sure how I'd go about getting that large of a tank into the crawlspace. It's about 4-5 feet of vertical space but the opening is too small, for sure. Outside may be my only other option unless I could squeeze a barrel into my bathroom lol. I could use a shelf in there, I guess.
Keep in mind that those RO filters take some time, you also need a waste line because the way they work they generate some waste water. I would hook up to your supply line and install a float shut off valve that will stop production when your vessel is full. Then you will always have water when you need it.
Yeah that was my concern initially, the time it would take to get the 35-45 gallons of water my system will hold. I think if I can make the space, I'll get a 50 gallon barrel and a seperate pump. My systems plumbing isn't something I want to mess with anymore. I just got it finished up today. Running a line to my bathroom isn't an issue. I just don't wanna mess with my complicated manifold I cobbled together. A seperate submersible and a hose would to the trick when the time comes.
