    Default Beckett water pump

    What's up guys I'm switching from dirt to squirt and I'm wondering if the Beckett 1200 gph pond/waterfall pump is to big for my setup. 4 6' square fence post with around 25 to 30 360 misters . With about 2 feet of head on pump. Thanks .kindda need quick reply as I'm going back to store today cause I fudged up on PVC pipe sizing a little. Going to be using half inclh lines.

    I do not condone the illegal sale or growth of marijuana in any country.

    You should be fine.. I'm running 50 feeder stakes divided up between 25 plants. My pump is around 3600 gph and delivers about 1 liter/plant/minute of run time. I used to run a 1200gph pump but found it didn't purge air from the full system fast enough to ensure that all plants got adequate feed. I suggest you buy yourself a "vacuum break" from the hardware store to prevent siphoning of your nute tank. Good luck with your waterworks
