The manual shows the air regulator should be installed on the air stone. However, I think it should be on the drip ring (as it is in this video). I think it's probably more likely that someone would want to adjust/turn off the drip ring at some point. I'm not sure adjusting the air stone is something that people do. Wouldn't people want it to just run full blast?
Not sure myself, but it looks like the air moving through the lines to the drip ring is sucking-up water from the bucket and moving it through the ring also
The compressed air enters the pipe that is connected to the drip ring, the air actually lifts the water and pushes it up through the pipe creating the water drip
I've actually beard good things but honestly, i view it simply as a teaching step between b4 slending 2 to 3 x for an 8 to 1p bucket reservoir system but 4 is nax that's about as pain in ss as you can take but with those cheap ebay drip irrigation pump/timers, they are awesome for changing out reservoirs every 2 weeks or preferences. I must say, tbe biggest issue I've heard is over warering from tbe top, it defeats much tbe lurpose bu years ago these had zero top feed type drip. So cut it off and lightly water the clay tourself, that way roots still get food and oxygen but that one area quits getti g saturated and may even become weak or sick Granted i have oy seen others with these, i was gonna tey but as i said, those small issues but they must be fixable, people do DIY swtups constantly so you cpuld just use the larts as larts, build a RDWC, a real one. You have most everything but i imagine more tube or piping the pump should be enough. But as an old style dwc, that top feed lime i said haswprk arounds if you cant adjust the pressure to a drop. I wpuld look at an irrigation parts part of a big box hardware store. You can probably swap out for working oarts if that's the issue. Good look, I've seen good results but I can't verify as someone who has only seen these particular DWC pots and nice plants, healthy looking. So take with a grain if salt but i have heard some of the complaints, some are bad parts, some watered too much, others had zero problems. Very inconsistent. But for having all pieces for no more than DIY kits, the fact i all parts r there is too convenient and idesoite too many complaints, I'm willing to try and send it back if it sucks.
@@ericrich5791 so I ordered the 4 pot system but due to space I can only run 2 pots. So I'll have free air ports. Would running a second air stone into each pot improve that issue?

I'm not fully understanding how the air pump makes water come out of the drip ring.
can someone explain this for me??

Worst set up ever I bought this kit didn't work missing parts and low quality. Chinese probably.
Really?? I have 16 of them, and they work so awesome!!!
@@ericrich5791what's your thoughts on the noise level? Heard that the pump was loud
@@runhitwonder110 Yes pump is loud, but it didnt produce enough air so I upgraded anyway.
@@ericrich5791 so I ordered the 4 pot system but due to space I can only run 2 pots. So I'll have free air ports. Would running a second air stone into each pot improve that issue?
@@runhitwonder110 You bet!! I run the drip system until roots get down to the water, then i use a second air stone.
