@@tylerlarson5205 just call HLG and ask, they’re cool like that.

@@AffinityPhoto the accumulator tank is so the pump can shut off and let the passive energy inside the tank continue pushing out nutrients until it reaches a lower pressure triggering the pump to turn on again. Saves on electricity, heat and equipment. Plus a pump builds up to pressure each time the solenoid opens and produces different sized droplets. The tank has a lot of back pressure ready to give a consistent droplet size each time the solenoid opens.

With the accumulator tank the pump is only going to turn on shortly for less than ten times a day. But that’s a ballpark figure because it truly matters on how much liquid your using on the other end. With 1-3 seconds of spray going off every 3-5 minutes you’re not going to go through a 4 gallon accumulator tank in a day. The pump will turn on to keep that 80-100 psi consistent but it’s not for long.

Have a tee setup with a valve between the tank and the solenoid. Open the valve slowly and drain the tank. Make sure you have a pressure relief valve somewhere on the tank if you can.

I don’t run the tanks higher than ~100 psi. The pressure switch is at 80-100 psi so the pump shuts off. I think most tanks aren’t even rated for 100 psi…. Oops 😬

It keeps the pressure inside the tubing consistent when it opens. It’s more for when using multiple solenoids. Plus that tubing is warming up the nutrients to room temperature while they sit. Someone taught it to me a long time ago and there may be more significance to it than what I’m saying. If I remember correctly I will come back to this !!

@@AeroponicGrowers Thank you for replying, I understand now. You got a Sub from me eagerly waiting for more of your uploads.

@@Ovrlord_1 I need someplace large to do more projects!

Cool!!😎

The nozzles Tefen uses are an old patent that any nozzle company can make. They just don’t advertise them. But you have to buy a lot of them usually. I wouldn’t use a 5 micron filter with any nutrients because that’s just too small I find. It’s good for clear water. I might of used one in this video, if so you don’t need it.

Thank you very much for your answer, i figured out a bit later my comment that indeed Tefen nozzle are outdated and i heard some got bad adjustments in the series process Maybe 10 or 20 microns would be cool enough to let minerals solutions going through without clogging really fast I searched also for Air Atomized Aeroponic as it’s more effective, and the nozzle are more tolerant since the holes are bigger even if it need some filtration, i would like to do dual fluid and test some variations of air/water pressure sets, what your ideas/experiences on that?

@@jay-dbringolo1176 watch my videos on air atomized nozzles. They’re the best way to go for precision and getting “true high pressure aeroponics” because of the air and liquid combination. Versus just spraying nutrients into the container. I went on a journey finding a small and quiet enough air compressor for a bedroom. The best was a home brewing compressor. California air was a good compressor until it broke quickly. I just ordered the head of the nozzle and not the mounting hardware to save some money. One nozzle can be $60-100+

Hey, thanks for your time for answering 🙏 I honestly had to wait a little bit before purchasing all the things for HPA, i got some problems with cheap nozzles at the beginning then i had problem with the automatic switch on the seaflo pump which is not owned anymore by this company but rather a Chinese one, on the box i got a bypass but on the pump inside you clearly see it’s non existing, then order new 12v switch, it was the same shit, no easy to find, like it’s outdated, the funny thing is that even with decent 230V switch i got a serial error on the mobile 1/4 Female entry which is not sealed properly, it’s leaking water very easily above the nut lol, even if I understand well the concept i can’t give anymore credits to it, i make clones with different set up and it seems DWC is better suited for me, HPA is good but it lack oxygen, when i look at the price of AAA it’s quite fair, one Vevor compressor 9L and oiless and some fitting with a nozzle ( I find for example one for 30 bucks) but you know Aliexpress it can be good or bad :) The idea is to have a single nozzle that spray just the time it need to carefully protect the compressor and to carry enough moisture in the root chamber. I know Siphon nozzle use quite air per minute so don’t wan’t to heat to much my gear as it seem to be the weak spot of this technic. Thanks again ;)

@@jay-dbringolo1176 I’ve blown up a few seaflo pumps! You have to put a check valve after the output hose. They can’t handle the back pressure and the seals blow.

No problem! Have fun

No this is not showing a recirculating system. My other videos have recirculating systems in them.

This video is just how I build the chamber. You can have it drain from the bottom or the side. You’re right you want to have liquid on top of either fitting before you draw from it if you’re recirculating it. I mainly do drain to waste. I only spray a small amount of liquid with little left over each day.

You can make a mesh or screen of sorts that holds the seed and you don’t have to touch it.

I haven’t been selling systems lately but when I do I will definitely let you know. Thanks for asking!

Thanks man!!

Thanks! It’s from the old house

I use TEFEN nozzles and get reverse osmosis fittings off Amazon.

@@AeroponicGrowers Thanks.

Good idea thanks! Paint no matter the kind eventually flakes off.

Absolutely!!!👍

No problem! Watch my video on how I make one with a threaded elbow and mister tee

That works as well. It’s just bulkier and more time consuming.

You can use one pump for your system and add more accumulator tanks as you need them. A lot depends on how you build your system and everyone builds theirs differently. The setup you’re talking about sounds like low pressure hydroponics and will work fine. And they work best for small grows. Good luck!

I give it to them all the time. But it helps best obviously when budding.

Yes you can! It’s super quiet.

Siphon fed means it’s grabbing the liquid when a suction is formed with passing air. Versus the liquid being pressurized behind a solenoid that opens and closes combining with the air.

@@AeroponicGrowers yes ! But why u need 10psi liquid pressure when nozzle can drain it self?

@@eseehome6608 I wrote it wrong. As you can see on the water gauge it’s at 0psi. So the 10 psi shouldn’t be on there. Thanks!

It’s 1/8” tap

Go with an Aquatec 115psi. I don’t sell parts

No problem!

It matter how many misters are spraying for 3 seconds. A 4 gallon accumulator tank holds around 3 1/2 gallons of fluid and that can take a couple hours or even a day to refill.

No problem!! Have fun!

No this is a DIY video

Gotta think outside the box! Nice move

did it worked well in the car ? :)

If you’re misting 24/7 you will get hydroponic roots. This nozzle produces a lot of mist and could do a 2x4 foot container by itself.

I don’t understand your question?

@@AeroponicGrowers how much pressure does the pump need to operate numbers of nozzles. For example let’s say if I had 150 nozzles in a 100 feet line I assume a 50w pressure pump has not enough power to get the desired mist out of all the nozzles.

@@oe5580 it comes down to how many accumulator tanks you use or how big. The smaller the pump the longer it takes to fill up the tanks. A bigger pump will fill them quicker. These tanks release the pressurized nutrients at a steady rate while keeping the pump from running continuously.

I don’t have a website or sell parts anymore

Only weed by itself with a gap of air at the top. Your goal is to get the moisture from the stem to go into the bud slowly.

Lately I’ve been taking the big stalks and after they dry for a week or so I put them in a 10 gallon covered tote. I do that for a month then the jars!

This is a good system for growing 4-6 plants about 2-3 feet high. I don’t use this system anymore unless I’m making it for clones. I find the bigger 64 gallon commander totes with the hip roof the best. I don’t do aeroponics in small tents anymore because controlling temps is too much of an issue. I do drain to waste, so my roots are stuck to the lid of the container and around misters by the end. The 1/4” will clog. I’ve used screens before to hold roots off the bottom of a container.

I mainly due drain to waste. It takes a couple days for the liquid to build up and then I just drain it out. In the beginning when your making the clones and first roots, you can use the bottom of the grow chamber as the reservoir. Have the drain tubing go to the input side of the pump. Some of my other videos I show how I put valves inline to suck out nutrient’s and put them in reservoirs etc. Whatever level of water you have in one container will equal the same height in the other container if there are no valves holding the water. If my container is 10 inches above ground I can only drain around 9 inches into a reservoir. Learn drain to waste so that you’re keeping everything going one direction and sterile. You want your roots to be like a sponge full of water if you squeezed them but not dripping wet. I get roots growing on the lid and sides, they will find the water. When people leave to much water on the bottom the roots shoot down and become hydroponic roots. You want really bushy root balls.

Hey no problem and good luck 👍

I would say 4 buckets of you’re using 2 nozzles per bucket. I had a lot of difficulty with making 5 gallon buckets into HPA. The buckets heat up fast. But if I just ran the system low pressure it worked.

@@AeroponicGrowers Why would the buckets heat up?

@@MrLeonfs since they don’t have a lot of space for air inside the outside temps in the tent or grow room rapidly increase the temps. If the roots are touching the sides they heat up fast too. I went as far as running a chiller on the nutrient line but they heat back up again waiting inside the tubing to spray. The bigger the container the more room you have for variables.

I put a quick connect/push fit elbow, male to female. 3/4 inch ID

I use a “bulkhead” on the bottom of the container with the container lifted so the water will drain. Or on the side and have it lifted in the back so the water flows to it. You can get creative with how you want that water to go back into your system. You won’t get air in the system unless the pump has a chance to suck it in. Watch my other videos for ideas. I use the same pump to suck out the water in the system and return it to the reservoir, you just need to set up valves to open and shut different sections so air doesn’t get it. It’s a really big question with a lot of different answers!

@@AeroponicGrowers its a very complex but fun subject. Ever wondered about giving online help? I'd definitely pay for advices

@@AeroponicGrowers do you have any email i can contact you with?

@@salimmalulek yah I use to help people on the phone and online but its difficult not being there.

@@salimmalulek aeroponicgrowers@gmail.com I’m lazy about checking it!

They are all over the internet. Get an Aquatech 115psi head with a pressure switch. I’m using diaphragm pumps

I recommend Water filters direct. That's who I'm going through

Why did you switch to a diaphragm pump? Which pump are you using and what psi does it deliver?@@AeroponicGrowers

@@robbchristensen1151 I’ve always used diaphragm pumps they are the most affordable. I use an Aquatec 8800 pump but with 160 psi max head rather than 115 psi. I recommend using the 115 psi head since most equipment you will use is not rated for 160 psi. You don’t want a 160 psi filled steel accumulator tank to blow off the line, even 100 psi can be dangerous!

Just one question do you combine a water pump and booster pump? Do booster pumps works even there's no intial freeflow?

I’m using polypropylene plastic misters. They are such an old design that every manufacturer has them now. Look for TEFEN nozzles 1/8th female thread.

@@AeroponicGrowers thank you for the info and for replying

@@AeroponicGrowers I apologize for the questions, but would this nozzle work if I just install it to a pvc pipe? And is there a difference between this nozzle and a regular garden misting spray system?

@@S43MY the pvc pipe will swell with each burst of liquid and then the misters continue spraying after the solenoid turns off.

@@S43MY there’s a big difference in the these sprayers and garden sprayers. If you have seen misters spraying produce in a grocery store then you are looking at these kind of misters.

It depends on if you build your system to “drain to waste” in which you only use the nutrient water once and discard the left overs. Or in a continuous loop then you will get back everything the plants don’t use.
