Question about Pumps (Aeroponics)

**qpon** · 08-24-2009, 10:56 AM

Hey guys, I was wondering where I can get a submersible pump for aeroponics that has a timer on it. I cant seem to find one that will allow me to have the water spray on for 1 minute and off for 3 or 5.

You also need a Irrigation Hub, also called an Irrigation Manifold. Many different ones can be found.

The brand name is MISTER LANDSCAPER. It is in the DRIP IRRIGATION section (even says "drip irrigation" on the package), the technical name for it is PVC SPRINKLER ADAPTER (that is on the package too), the item# is 191779, and the model# is MLA-RA9, and the cost is $10.73. My local Lowes had about 9-10 of them in stock.

do you think this is a good aero system or would you suggest going a different route?

Looks good to me, you'll need a separate timer.

What kind of timer can I get that will make the pump spray for 1 minute and turn off for 3-5 minutes. I read that is ideal to have, or is constant misting not a big deal?
