The instructor knows how to teach! I've reviewed several other videos on youtube and ALL were confusing. This video was the FIRST that was simple, and yet detailed enough for me to completely understand a high-pressure system. Kudos to this gentleman.
The best part about building your own aeroponic system is all the learning you do iterating upon your own design that you would otherwise miss using an off the shelf system.
I greatly appreciate you sharing such detailed teachings. I absolutely love your videos and I hope you continue making more. You’ve really helped me understand such a complex system with ease. Thank you!
Hi, great video and very insightful. It would be useful to know how these components should be connected. For example pump to pressure switch, pump to pressure tank... Can you advise?
Can you provide a list of the products uses. I searched for the puml P but maybe i misjnderstood you cause i can only find a aqautech pump. Not an ekotech like it sounds like you said?
What about a pressure release valve for safety? What would happen if the solenoid is normally closed and the booster pump just keeps on pumping in nutrients to the accumulator? Something is going to explode.
@@HighTechGardener Are you referencing about the auto shutoff mechanism built into the pump? If so, highly recommend to not solely rely upon it. I have never seen a professional high pressure diaphragm pump that has a built in pressure relief valve mechanism. If there are such pump, I would like to know the name and model of such pump. I was referencing specifically for a pressure relief valve mechanism for maximum safety, added redundancy, prevention of pump damage, explosion, loss of investment and etc. It is really remarkable how a $2-$5 safety measure of pure mechanical device, saves so much headache. In plumbing, by local legal codes, it is mandatory to implement a pressure relief valve mechanism, imagine large scale aeroponics not utilizing a pressure relief valve. All professional plumping of all industries implements some sort of a pressure relief valve mechanism for maximum safety. Thanks for your TH-cam channel, it is very helpful and I like how you are bringing more exposure about true aeroponics to the gardening world, I wish this channel existed 12 years ago when I first started true aeroponics.
Thanks for the video. One thing I don't understand is how the water from the tank gets to the spray nozzles. I only understand how the pump sends water into the tank. How does the water get from the tank to the nozzles? 🙏Thanks
Hi Lee. I have a question. Im a plumber by trade. All of your videos have great explanations, much appreciated. Im automating mine as well with micro controllers. I can program well enough in C to make it work. Im having one issue. What misters are you buying? Ive been shopping and have not found the best one that suits the parameters you are mentioning. Other wise i can calculate friction loss and pressure drop etc. Also the diagrams you show are all sequential linear when you talk about pressure drop. If you tie the loose end back into the main system you get even pressure all around for your misters. You still have the pressure drop but its equal among all of the misters. Same as a shower that has a wall of sprayers coming from one valve. If you tie the terminal end back in to the main in a loop all the sprayers have the same pressure. And you only have to deal with the pressure drop on all of the misters as if it were just one variable.
Ok, so I there is no need to aeration water in accumulator tank? I can do aeration in main tank then pressurize water into accumulator tank and after 4 hours water in accumulator is aerationed?
Hello, is there an available way to contact you? I tried to do It by the website but it kept failing. I'd really appreciate if you have an email or whatsoever. Thank you very much
hi, i am from india ,a local engg. service farm which provides high pressure pump and misting nozzle says that to get around 50 micron droplet size we use hp pumps which runs around 1000 psi ,is it true ? ,i am confused as you suggest 80-100 psi
I have a question. Do we need the pressure switch if we are planning on running an auto recycler timer? You say we need the pressure switch to control the pump on and off, but if I am running a recycler timer, say 5 seconds on/2.5 minutes off, then why would I need a pressure switch to control the pump?
When you are building the misting system, are the misting heads supposed to be in parallel or in series? If they are chained one after another in series would the pressure vary?
Hi John, I purchased some from Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot and eBay. If you want to know more please sign up for my course here: aeroponicsdiy.com/free-aeroponics-video-course/. What videos would you like on high-pressure aeroponics?
@@johnguest4525 Sure. It's in the lineup of videos. The reason why I didn't put it up first is that all TH-cam videos of true aeroponics system are show-and-tell. No one explained the principles. So I'm sharing what I know. So before I boast, I'm educating. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello, I want to ask you, which is the max. pressure that holds the accumulator tank that you shows at the video? I found one just like that but it only can hold max. 100 PSI so, I don't know if it can be suitable for my HPA system, thank you
You're running a low pressure aeroponics system which develops a different root mass than a true HPA system. No problem. I have nothing against it. I just want more control and faster growth.
That system will work alright, this high pressure system is for people who really want maximum performance from their system. I personally think it's worth it but that's just my opinion.

Wow, thanks Bob!
The best part about building your own aeroponic system is all the learning you do iterating upon your own design that you would otherwise miss using an off the shelf system.
Totally agreed! I am not a high tech gadget person so this will be WAY out of my comfort zone and will challenge me to the MAX.
You mean the countless hours spent scrolling through material specifications and weeks of shipment arrivals? I'm down
I feel like I've struck gold here by finding your channel. Thanks for the great and very educational videos!
Hello Swag, You're very welcome my friend.
I can't believe I can understand this now ! You are a great teacher!!!
Thank you so much 💓
Just wanted to drop in and say thank you and please keep uploading videos! I would love to see a design for potatoes!
Hi Ryan,
You're very welcome. Yes, potatoes would make an interesting video.
I am amazed at how easy I can learn throughout your videos. Thank you so much for the opportunity and for sharing your wisdom!
I greatly appreciate you sharing such detailed teachings. I absolutely love your videos and I hope you continue making more. You’ve really helped me understand such a complex system with ease. Thank you!
You're welcome my friend😊
I really like how easy and understandable you describe complex things
Ok. Investments are needed. Thanks man. Answered my questions.
mostlyHarmless, you're welcome my friend
I Love Your Videos! I am planning on doing this however i would need to educate myself more into this to execute this project
Hi, great video and very insightful. It would be useful to know how these components should be connected. For example pump to pressure switch, pump to pressure tank... Can you advise?
Great- clear explanation
Great! Straight to the point!
Can i just use an ultrasonic water atomizer?
Which system will be cheaper?
THANK YOU for making these videos
Daniel, you're very welcome.
Do you have a website? I would like to grow cannabis aeroponically. I appreciate your videos!💚
Yes. It's aeroponicsdiy.com
Very good explanation thanks
Hi Carej,
You're very welcome my friend.
Best video
Thanks
Can you provide a list of the products uses. I searched for the puml
P but maybe i misjnderstood you cause i can only find a aqautech pump. Not an ekotech like it sounds like you said?
aquatec 8800
Technically any boost pump for reverse osmosis should work, but the aquatec 6800 and 8800 are particularly well liked.
Great video. I believe your microphone gain is way too high though.
Sorry about that
@@HighTechGardener no worries ;)
What about a pressure release valve for safety? What would happen if the solenoid is normally closed and the booster pump just keeps on pumping in nutrients to the accumulator? Something is going to explode.
The pump I use has it built in. It's not needed.
Good observation.

Check my Nozzle video. Thanks you my friend
@@HighTechGardener I did. Got your email. Already ordered them. Thanks!
Can this system work without having hydroponics system used as backup, in other words use aeroponics alone?
Yes, you can use HPA alone with redundancy. This needs another video.
Ok, so I there is no need to aeration water in accumulator tank? I can do aeration in main tank then pressurize water into accumulator tank and after 4 hours water in accumulator is aerationed?
Aeration is unnecessary for HPA systems.
new sub, great explanation, but instead of a pump could we not use a small air compressor, just a thought 👍
At the moment I don't believe we would gain much using an air compressor. Thanks for asking
Hello, is there an available way to contact you? I tried to do It by the website but it kept failing. I'd really appreciate if you have an email or whatsoever. Thank you very much
Can you PLEASE tell me what pressure switch that is? I'm having trouble finding one like that 😭
From what I saw it is possibly an aquatec pressure switch ( which have different psi cutoff ranges)
hi,
i am from india ,a local engg. service farm which provides high pressure pump and misting nozzle says that to get around 50 micron droplet size we use hp pumps which runs around 1000 psi ,is it true ? ,i am confused as you suggest 80-100 psi
Yes. I use 100psi. It all depends on what the nozzles are rated for to achieve 50 microns.
Is that a pump used for Reverse osmosis?
Yes. Aquatech.
Can you give me a link to the nozzle I can’t find one in microns thank you
I believe the one he reviewed positively in separate videos is the 'Tefen 21105' (2-gph high pressure misting nozzle). Can find on Amazon and ebay.
See my latest videos.
I have a question. Do we need the pressure switch if we are planning on running an auto recycler timer? You say we need the pressure switch to control the pump on and off, but if I am running a recycler timer, say 5 seconds on/2.5 minutes off, then why would I need a pressure switch to control the pump?
Yes, you need both. Pressure switch controls the pump. The timer controls the misting intervals. Two separate components. Two separate functions.
@@HighTechGardener Got it. I was a bit confused, but I worked it out. Thanks
Which timer are you using? Is there a tutorial somewhere for setting up with arduino / rasberry pi?
have you made the episode where you cover timers?
I designed and built my own timer.
When you are building the misting system, are the misting heads supposed to be in parallel or in series? If they are chained one after another in series would the pressure vary?
This will be a future video. The misters are arrange in series and parallel. I know it sounds confusing. We combine the two for the best performance.
@@HighTechGardener I'm building my system this upcoming weekend. Any existing examples/videos anywhere I can see before the video comes out?
Where do you purchase your solenoid and timer?
I use manufactures for the treatment of drinking water. Pick one you trust. These are off the shelf components.
Did you use arduino to control the solenoid?
No. However, I like the arduino.
Why don't you show how it's hooked up
I plan to in the future.
You want the details?
@@HighTechGardener yes I would really appreciate that I watch all your videos
I want the details too. It is really hard to start with a system like this but I am trying to learn a lot 😅
affordable in commercials?
where can i buy these items?

Hello, I want to ask you, which is the max. pressure that holds the accumulator tank that you shows at the video? I found one just like that but it only can hold max. 100 PSI so, I don't know if it can be suitable for my HPA system, thank you
Use ultrasonic humidifier system and avoid all these unnecessary cost.
Ultrasonic produces the wrong root structure.
Your audio and green screen are off
Thanks. Somethings not right with your sound.
Sorry. I'll try to improve my audio in future videos. Thanks for your patience
Your accumulator tank is upside down.
Please explain what you mean.
Yeah I'll just get some micro sprinklers and a sump pump lol

@@HighTechGardener So you are saying if I want to grow with High Pressure then stay away from "micro" type of electrical solenoid?
