    High Pressure Aeroponics - Pump Design/mister layout/misters...

    Here's a good high pressure system and I have zero affiliation with them whatsoever: They cycle the timer 2 min off 30 seconds on, most people use 4 minutes on and 1 minute off (see the Stinkbud thread) which is the whole genesis for the Titan Apollo 3 (...

    High Pressure Aeroponics - Pump Design/mister layout/misters...

    Not sure where you got your definition of aeroponics from but no one uses your definition, read R.J. Stoner's, NASA's or any academic research on the subject. The 'forming of water droplets on and inside surface' is an impossible standard that isn't used anywhere. The definition of aerponics...

    pH System

    Agree with rkymtnman, that thing is going berserk! You should be going through a MAX of 1 quart per 6 months even in terrible water conditions, PH up is seriously concentrated. If you get a cheap microcontroller (Arduino or equivalent), a PH probe and some dosing pumps it's very easy to setup a...

    High Pressure Aeroponics - Pump Design/mister layout/misters...

    Your pump pressure seems a bit low, by the time all the misters are running it's going to drop significantly. Additionally you will be fine with 4" or 6" fence posts, I've made about 10 systems using them and they work wonderfully (many thanks to stinkbud). Round PVC is harder to work with...

    DIY Water reservoir chiller

    Great ideas in this thread, I'm in the process of building a controller myself, I have most of the coding done and it's working like a boss so far! I was thinking of adding cooling to the microcontroller as well, I have an old dorm fridge sitting around and was thinking of plumbing in a copper...
