Im no pro but I do know that pvc can be very effective if the right glue is used. There shouldnt be any problems with leaks. Your not even putting any pressure through it. Take your time and be very meticulous when putting everything together. Check for leaks when your done. No problems. Might not be the absolute best you can put together but if used well im sure you could grow awsome plants in pvc tubes. Great for someone with a smaller budget also. Just my 2 cents. Might only be worth 1.

How many plants does that beautiful device hold?
I'm a big Fan of Heath's grows, they are awesome. I've used surround the bulb technique 3ft plants works well.
I'm a little confused about the partially drain and change nuts aspects.
maybe someone else or Heath can help me w/ this, not a hydro nut yet, a dirt farmer.
1.
In one post he mentiones that the only res he has is the one w/ the bypass, and in another he refers to the main supply.
Just wondering during the normal operation does the res get topped w/ water from a larger main that is full of water/nuts not in the loop?
Or the main supply is the water in the system.
2.
partially drain: my assumption is stop the feed into the system and drain the res and fill up once a week.
Then there is the statement of changing nutes every two weeks.
Just curious, just like to learn things, any help is appreciated.

I run something very similar to heaths surround set-up. I run a bypass to control the level and agitation of the water. the bypass diverts water directly back to the rez, so basically the water avoids running through the flood tube.
I have run a partially drain and a complete drain with rez changes. I notice a better yield doing a full rez change. But I must say that my skill level is probably not as robust as heath's and maybe that is why he is able to do a partial change.
