Ok guys, 2nd time @ growing ( DWC 1st time ).
Question on water pumps, I hear talk that the pump in the water can make the water too hot, is it ,or will it become a problem..? At the local Hydro store they have
submersible pumps, is there dif. types ?

The submersible is what you want...it will make the water warm up and that is why some people don't run them 24/7 and use a timer for on/off intervals instead. It will all depend on your setup and your particular temps as to what you need to do...

You can use any kind of pump really. Get a cycle timer. I use 1 min on and 4 min off per cycle. Works just fine!
PM me if you need any help. I have 5 diy units.

submersible are the ones that heat water, there are ones that can be used both submerged or outside res, those are great for multipurpose, in winter submerged, in summer outside
