Hey all. I'm trying to switch from hydro halos to a bubbler system so i can run more plants. I'm having trouble.
Some pics below. Flow setup is check valve -> pump (https://shop.hydrolocksystems.com/collections/accessories/products/hydrolock™-in-line-water-pump) -> Y filter -> poly tubing to the manifold in the tent -> Pressure gauge -> bubblers -> ball valve for flushing.
So the first time i turned it on the pvc blew apart. Then I learned I need to cement it with PVC cement. So I did that. Tried again, and this time the poly tube connecting to the manifold in the tent blew off. Also, the pressure gauge read 60psi, even tho the pump says max 45psi?
What am i doing wrong? Do i need a pressure regulator? Thanks for any help.
