I use an Omron H5CX...industrial level quality.

Do not buy anything from biocontrols. Their stuff is not quality made. I bought their nozzles, 10 total. And almost all of them were faulty. Get Netafim coolnet pro nozzles, they are the best. You can get accumulator tanks way cheaper, just make sure they are the correct presure rating. If...

No benefits? I would not agree. Maybe expensive and complicated to set up but definitely worth it. Its not for everyone. Less water usage, better control, great to use in a Drain-To-Waste system hence stable reservoir Ph and TDS... super fast growth, short internode length...the list goes on...

Biocontrols impingement type nozzles are used by a few people here on their HPA setups, but honestly they are not that good from my experience because some of the ones I ordered had serious issues... I tried using 5 different nozzle types and had the best result with Netafim Coolnet pros, and...

nice find!

aww you guys with your rothenberger pumps :P

hey hardhat. My suggestion is first design/complete your rez/pump/accum tank/solenoid/timer set-up and then just get a few nozzles and make a prototype box and see how it goes. After you do some tests you might change your mind with the number of sprayers you will be needing, the tubing diameter...

How the hell did I miss this thread? I seriously have to start working on my attention deficit disorder... Love the setup r0m30! Great job :clap: I always thought about HP systems as using a larger amount of space due to all the equipment involved and your set-up totally changed my view on...

I got them in 2010 lol...damn 3 years ago. Who knows...they either removed the white swirly thing to improve performance or lower costs. Most likely the latter...

thats wierd...here's a few photos I have 8 bio's nozzles and they all have the white swirly plastic part...

does anybody here use filters placed directly in their nozzles? Except the bio's because they have that white swirly plastic part inside, but the Tefens and the SS ones have a 6mm diameter opening that could fit a small filter. Is there some kind of material I could buy and make the filters...

I feel ya, I was thinking about enrolling some classes at the local agriculture university...and then maybe use my HP system in some science projects :D

Thats pretty cool that you and your grandpa are trying to make some nozzles of your own, does he know what they are for? lol I would be more than happy to test them! :D and if they are good maybe you can start your own business and give Agrihouse a run for their money ;) haha

I'll think about the on-top placment. Its just I have heard some bad stuff about the bios nozzles in regards to craftsmanship, them not being consistent...people having to return faulty nozzles etc...we shall see. RANT ON: And for some reason I just dont like agrihouse and that Stoner guy, their...

See that's the kind of stuff I need to figure out...my current plan might not fit it with the way the nozzles perform. Its just an idea for now. I guess if the bios mist goes practically sideways than it only makes sense to place them on the top shooting down. But I use a 600 watt HPS bulb and...

Regarding the chamber size..I have no idea. Once I test each of these nozzles I will try to figure out a size, but i'm aiming for a size that can comfortably hold 9 sites, without the plants being too crowded and that every root mass has enough space around it to allow the mist to freely float...

I agree, air-atomization is just great. If you have the right air assisted nozzle you can adjust soo much, and find the perfect setting of air and water. One day I plan on going air-assisted, but for know I forst have to complete my HP rig. So about the chamber size...I used this diagram I...

haha well it might be a while till I'm able to test them, living in an apartment with a roommate, having no garage or balcony makes it a difficult environment to test HP stuff ;) I have a total of 4 solenoids, was thinking of only using 4 nozzles for my chamber...one solenoid per nozzle is...

Those roots look pretty nice indrhrvest! :clap:

I have the bios, the red tefen and some SS impingement ones...who will be the winner? maybe a combination of the two, or three? I haven't had a chance to test them yet, cant wait to see the results. Here is some nozzle porn I made for you guys :D
