Good stuff mate . So many options for power now days at affordable prices just do your research and don’t buy crap. Just about every house in Australia has solar
1 Pump needs 2 Watts (W) to run. If one pump runs for one hour it has used 2 Watt Hours (Wh). If you have 4 Pumps that run for 5 mins or 1/12th of an hour every day, you get 4* 2W*1/12h *24h = 16Wh. When buying Batteries you usualy get Amphours (Ah) and Volts (V) of a Batterie Ah*V =Wh. For example typical car battery: 12V and 100 Ah = 1200 Wh. (75 days of running pumps). Edited because I had a number wrong and to add that I still enjoyed the video.
I will also get into batteries a lot more in the next video. You should really download the guide though, you will see that I already did all of this to get to what I say in the video. This is directly from the guide: We take our 23 watts per hour that our pump uses and we divide that by the 5 minutes that we will run per hour. Since we are calculating for one hour we have to break the 5 minutes down to a fraction. 5 minutes is 1/12th of one hour This math would be 23 divided by 12 = 1.9 watts per hour
I already did the math to get to 2 watts.... loose the 1/12h in the equation. I already did that... did nobody get the guide!!!! In other words, the pump pulls 23 watt hours.... I'll let you do the math... :) p.s. I round up to 2 watts because of initial power surges. The free guide goes over all of this.
You can do a bit better on energy savings by having your water storage in a buffer physically above your plants. This way you don't need to use power to water them, just for the return, which you can pail if the power is out.
So a family with three kids will survive on what you can grow this way? I have been told two 70 watt led panels (from Holland the best you can get) will be enough for 4 weed plants in a 2*1,5 meter ish grow box. If you translate that over to growing plants for food you will have to use a pretty big room/basement cause a few plants will not be nearly close to enough.
This video is mostly about maintaining a pump for DWC hydroponics. assumes you have adequate lighting and atmosphere to sustain plant growth. as someone who grows marijuana legally, using two 70 watt panels if their output is great would give you around 140 watts. thats enough for 1 plant of quality maybe 2 with the right amount of topping and training. "made in holland" doesnt matter. energy in, light energy out as long as its a quality full spectrum source. the current best LED diodes are Samsung those are Korean and not from holland.
Yep, I just made a comment doing the math to help. Simple reality is that UPS battery system he has isn't enough to power them for 8 hours let alone 3 days.
.... guys.... just stop.... you're embarrassing yourselves........ Before you say another word, go download the free guide where I go over all of the math I used to get here...... I'll wait.....you can get it here.... www.humblegrowthhydroponics.com/product-page/disaster-proof-your-indoor-hydro-garden can't wait to hear back.....thanks for the comments lol :)
Watts is a measure of how fast something is using power. The measurement you've made of how many watts you have used in a day is what is called 'watt-hours' and is NOT the same. For example, a 1,000 watt kettle draws 1,000 watts at a time and after it has run for 1 full hour, it will have used 1,000 watt-hours or 1 kilowatt-hour. Lets put it into the context that battery you've bought is meant for. A 250-watt desktop computer setup uses 250 watt-hours per hour. That battery could run it for ~15 minutes so could output a max of one quarter of 250 watt-hours = 62.5 watt-hours. Your calculation worked out the watt-hours the pumps use in a day - 4 pumps running 5 minutes per hour for 24 hours. That means each day, your 4 pumps draw 192 watt-hours and would flatten that battery after around 8 hours. If you wanted to keep them up for 3 days you would need 9-10 battery banks like that.
If you want to put this into something closer to your usage, an internet modem draws around 10 watts - very comparable to your 4 pumps running 5 mins in the hour for 8 watts. That battery setup is rated to power a modem for around 4-6 hours.
Thank you so much for your comment. I calculated my pumps to require 192 total watts per day by determining that they pull apx 2 watts per hour. I explain wattage, and watt hours in the guide. I make a brief comment about how I don't want to over complicate the video.... that's why. Anyway. You are right about me not explaining the difference and. I didn't want to loose people by suddenly explain watts and watt hours. However, I can promise (because I have run this setup exactly) that my math is spot on. I recommend a 1000 watt battery bank in total. My garden uses 192 watts every day to run the pumps. Were talking about total watts. Sometimes the battery even recharges itself a little between intervals when it is above 13v. Therefore when you consider the initial surge, and amperage loss around 11volts, this system can run no problem for 3 days. Tried and tested..... I lived in a rv where I had this setup. I have 2 of the amazon basic 500w battery backups, I didn't know the cyber power ones existed then. Cheers! 🤙

That GREAT to hear friend! You're exactly right, thanks!
@@humblegrowth some of the Chinese wind generators are a good option too
Great video! ❤💯
Thank you! 🤗

There's a massive difference between a watt, and a watt hour. You're using them interchangeably, and that makes me highly question your math.
