The instructor knows how to teach! I've reviewed several other videos on youtube and ALL were confusing. This video was the FIRST that was simple, and yet detailed enough for me to completely understand a high-pressure system. Kudos to this gentleman.
The best part about building your own aeroponic system is all the learning you do iterating upon your own design that you would otherwise miss using an off the shelf system.
I greatly appreciate you sharing such detailed teachings. I absolutely love your videos and I hope you continue making more. You’ve really helped me understand such a complex system with ease. Thank you!
Hi, great video and very insightful. It would be useful to know how these components should be connected. For example pump to pressure switch, pump to pressure tank... Can you advise?
Hi Lee. I have a question. Im a plumber by trade. All of your videos have great explanations, much appreciated. Im automating mine as well with micro controllers. I can program well enough in C to make it work. Im having one issue. What misters are you buying? Ive been shopping and have not found the best one that suits the parameters you are mentioning. Other wise i can calculate friction loss and pressure drop etc. Also the diagrams you show are all sequential linear when you talk about pressure drop. If you tie the loose end back into the main system you get even pressure all around for your misters. You still have the pressure drop but its equal among all of the misters. Same as a shower that has a wall of sprayers coming from one valve. If you tie the terminal end back in to the main in a loop all the sprayers have the same pressure. And you only have to deal with the pressure drop on all of the misters as if it were just one variable.
Can you provide a list of the products uses. I searched for the puml P but maybe i misjnderstood you cause i can only find a aqautech pump. Not an ekotech like it sounds like you said?
Thanks for the video. One thing I don't understand is how the water from the tank gets to the spray nozzles. I only understand how the pump sends water into the tank. How does the water get from the tank to the nozzles? 🙏Thanks
I have a question. Do we need the pressure switch if we are planning on running an auto recycler timer? You say we need the pressure switch to control the pump on and off, but if I am running a recycler timer, say 5 seconds on/2.5 minutes off, then why would I need a pressure switch to control the pump?
What about a pressure release valve for safety? What would happen if the solenoid is normally closed and the booster pump just keeps on pumping in nutrients to the accumulator? Something is going to explode.
@@HighTechGardener Are you referencing about the auto shutoff mechanism built into the pump? If so, highly recommend to not solely rely upon it. I have never seen a professional high pressure diaphragm pump that has a built in pressure relief valve mechanism. If there are such pump, I would like to know the name and model of such pump. I was referencing specifically for a pressure relief valve mechanism for maximum safety, added redundancy, prevention of pump damage, explosion, loss of investment and etc. It is really remarkable how a $2-$5 safety measure of pure mechanical device, saves so much headache. In plumbing, by local legal codes, it is mandatory to implement a pressure relief valve mechanism, imagine large scale aeroponics not utilizing a pressure relief valve. All professional plumping of all industries implements some sort of a pressure relief valve mechanism for maximum safety. Thanks for your RU-vid channel, it is very helpful and I like how you are bringing more exposure about true aeroponics to the gardening world, I wish this channel existed 12 years ago when I first started true aeroponics.
Ok, so I there is no need to aeration water in accumulator tank? I can do aeration in main tank then pressurize water into accumulator tank and after 4 hours water in accumulator is aerationed?
hi, i am from india ,a local engg. service farm which provides high pressure pump and misting nozzle says that to get around 50 micron droplet size we use hp pumps which runs around 1000 psi ,is it true ? ,i am confused as you suggest 80-100 psi
When you are building the misting system, are the misting heads supposed to be in parallel or in series? If they are chained one after another in series would the pressure vary?
Hello, is there an available way to contact you? I tried to do It by the website but it kept failing. I'd really appreciate if you have an email or whatsoever. Thank you very much
Hi John, I purchased some from Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot and eBay. If you want to know more please sign up for my course here: aeroponicsdiy.com/free-aeroponics-video-course/. What videos would you like on high-pressure aeroponics?
@@johnguest4525 Sure. It's in the lineup of videos. The reason why I didn't put it up first is that all RU-vid videos of true aeroponics system are show-and-tell. No one explained the principles. So I'm sharing what I know. So before I boast, I'm educating. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello, I want to ask you, which is the max. pressure that holds the accumulator tank that you shows at the video? I found one just like that but it only can hold max. 100 PSI so, I don't know if it can be suitable for my HPA system, thank you
You're running a low pressure aeroponics system which develops a different root mass than a true HPA system. No problem. I have nothing against it. I just want more control and faster growth.
That system will work alright, this high pressure system is for people who really want maximum performance from their system. I personally think it's worth it but that's just my opinion.
