ok im confused,you have the fan on side near bottom,then 2 water lines on bottom,how are you keeping water from entering the fan and most important from electricuting yourself?I did this single igloo grow with an igloo as the reservoir.. Worked great, just a pia changing the frozen water bottles.. This will be the same, without, the frozen water bottles.. The screens will be 24x36" this time.. High yield, fast turn around is what I aim for. 4 months is the goal.. I wont be dicking around with rw or other seed starting media.. When the seeds have a 3/4-1" root they'll go straight into the hydroton.. This link will show what I intend..to do. with the igloos.. Here's some pics of the reservoir and cooling system I'll be using..Don't be telling me to buy a chiller.. I have one for use with my waterfarms..

The third pic is the grow bucket.. In the last pic, grow bucket on the left, reservoir on the right.. The 3/4 thin wall pvc water column itself is higher than the water in the reservoir and grow bucket... The water in the column is the same level as the reservoir and grow bucket...

I'm guessing that fan is his "ice probe" which protrudes through to the inside, some kinda chiller instead of using ice this time.ok im confused,you have the fan on side near bottom,then 2 water lines on bottom,how are you keeping water from entering the fan and most important from electricuting yourself?
wish you had better pics ,this sounds something i would like to try but from what im seeing sure aint understanding
intersting to see it closer,i see a wreck unless there is a sealed probe on other sideI'm guessing that fan is his "ice probe" which protrudes through to the inside, some kinda chiller instead of using ice this time.
Pretty neat!
are you running this outsideThis is an ice probe.. The heat exchanger is on the outside with the fan to cool it... The cooling probe is on the inside..
No contact with the water on the inside and the fan on the outside..

This is an ink bird temp. controller that regulates temp in the reservoir.. I bought it because it has a wider temp set range.. All lines will be insulated..
A single outlet on the reservoir feeds both Waterloos... It's each individual dripring that moves its own water from the reservoir.. Gravity will return water from both igloos to a single inlet at the same rate it was drawn from the reservoir....
I'll have pics of it set up soon .. I only started this thread yesterday.. Hang in there for a few more days..
first of may to end of oct here,this year was 4 months of triples ,so i def feel yaI would love to be able to do an outside hydro grow, I do have a slight problem with the heat... This pic was taken July about 2p..
that were i come into a problem,i live in deep south texas,a cooler would bring mold here close to the gulf,so swamp coolers and such are out of question,i was thinking of a pvc manifold with that little cooler gadget hooked in the res some how and with the recirculation of it evey hour or so it might do alright.For an outside grow an evaporative cooling tower might work.. You would need a constant flow, and an auto feedback to replace the evaporated water to keep it from becoming concentrated.. A cooling tower will also add dissolved O2.. Evaporative cooling is what I use to cool my house.. Works well where I live.. I've seen the humidity as low as 2%.. I'm only 55 miles from Death Valley.. 4 inch of rain a year is average..
Just filled the system.. The insulation for the tubing will be added.. Wanted to check for leaks first.. The line from the center of the ice chest is the drain... I drilled a hole through the floor so it drains outside.. Will drop sprouted seeds into the hydroton in the morning..
