klepto Active Member Apr 25, 2008 #1 Concerning a system that looks like this : Wouldn't it be more practical, instead of using sprayers, to just run the water lines to the base of the plant itself and use a venturi. I was wondering what advantage the sprayers have?

ORECAL Well-Known Member Apr 25, 2008 #2 when it looks like that, there is no advantage that I can see. I'd even just keep running the water through the pipes, like a DWC

Earl Well-Known Member Apr 25, 2008 #3 The sprayers help increase the D.O. of the nutrient solution. Improved DO increases plant growth. .

klepto Active Member Apr 25, 2008 #7 so how do the sprayers help with "D.O"? if you have the feeding system hooked to a veturi wouldn't it be the same thing? maybe even better.. Would having sprayers make that much of a diffrence instead of running the lines to the base of the plant?

Earl Well-Known Member Apr 25, 2008 #8 I thought this picture might demonstrate the effectiveness of using sprayers. .
