85 pages and the grow hasn't even started? Wtf!?!
And this is a short thread on HPA!85 pages and the grow hasn't even started? Wtf!?!
Quite a few when they are your girlsTo be honest, how many times can you look at the same plants being grown, and not get bored eventually...
Hook it up and stand back. If it fails, call the manf. and get a new one. My .02Well I tested something, and it didnt work out, kinda figured... I had my 1 micron clear filter housing between the res and pump's INLET, but it's proven to cause too much resistance for the pump to draw freely. It works, but I don't want the pump to burn out. I'd like to place it in the proper location between the pumps outlet and the accumulator but there is one problem (the reason why I placed it where I did in the first place). My unregulated pressure sits at around 138 psi, and the clear plastic housing is rated for maximum 125 psi working pressure. So should I chance it? -I think burst presure is usually 4x max working pressure rating-and hey, it's only 13 psi over. I suppose water hammer from closing of the solenoids should be accounted for in temporarily bringing the pressure much higher. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a stainless steel housing which is over 100 bucks, and also won't let me tell if the filter is dirty with a quick glance. Does anyone have any educated thoughts? I can't just pour my nutes through the filter bags into the res because there is too much ash/dust in the wind here from the sugar cane burning, it will always find it's way into the res just from sitting.

That's kinda what I figured. With water, it won't explode dangerously like it would with something filled with air. I just wouldn't want it to fail down the line and lose a crop over it. I have to run these pressures due to the 30ish psi differential of my pressure switch, and wanting to run 100psi final regulated output pressures.Goddamnit this site isn't like that other one- just ate my post-
But in a nutshell, I said:
-Don't worry about running 138 psi in that filter, if it fails it will either leak at the joint or the top edge of the bowl will crack. Not likely to experience catastrophic failure.
-Why do you want to run that high a pressure anyway? Are you sure you can't get good results turning it down just a hair?
I don't know, just wondering.

But I guess the site is still down?
Nice r0m! So what's the deal, you have to fax in your order now?... Dickkhead- You'll probably want to get the "0.16 orifice (ultra low flow)" and with NPT fittings as opposed to barbed.Aeroponics.com seems to still be up. Try this http://www.aeroponics.com/aero6j.htm#Sprayjets
BTW- I found if you click the "keep me logged in" checkmark when you first sign in, it won't do that to you... Still have to be careful hitting the backspace and going back a page- that one has killed some of my most longwinded posts- I HATE IT- lol...Goddamnit this site isn't like that other one- just ate my post-
