General Hydroponics Dual Diaphram Pump

So I came home all excited to see my water bubblin and churning and this thing works for shit.

Does this thing need break in time or something? My two $11 walmart pumps create more bubbles! I hope this aint right!!!!

If someone with the powers see's this it can be deleted. Turns out the backpressure on these bubblewands is to much for the pump. I have another stone I use in the container that I age the res change water in. I put that in there hooked to the pump and it looks like the water is boiling.

Off to the pet shop!

can you post a pic of the pump. i'm looking to get a new one myself and there are just so many options out. thanks bro.

I have two fo these and they work pretty good. I split all mine into 8 buckets and the bubbling is decent.

Check out this guys grow room. https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/313745-best-damn-reservoir-you-can.html. They are hung all over the walls. I have one and it works great. Also get your stones from your hydro shop or online. The blue ones from the pet stores suck, even for fish tanks. The gray ones (1.25" dia x 2") I got at my hydro store are $3 and I have two per output line on the pump and they boil.



I'll probably pick up a second pump as a backup/booster. I think this pump has the best output for the price and it's not too loud. Next (efficient) step up would probably need a motor rather than magnets and diaphragms.

peace
