Having trouble finding reliable information on how to set up a pump and res for my dtw set up.
I’m setting up 6 flora flex bubblers for a max of 48 sights on 3 trays. I want to use a 55 gallon bucket as the res. My trays are in rolling trays about a foot off the floor. I planned to raise the barrel off the ground and plumb it through the bottom to a 1/2 hp leader pump and which will lead to the three trays.
My question is what would be the best way to plumb
The pump to the res without it dumping to the bubbler height.
Check valve or the hydrotronic?
I’m not planning on using any zone solenoids.
This set up will not be looped.
Could I get away a with a smaller pump and keep consistent waterings?
I will be using the flora flex pot pros so there will be short cycle feedings throughout the day on a timer.
Thanks for looking
