First attempt at Aero, I hope?

Just ordered a RO booster pump and am changing my flood and drain to misting. As the title says I am hoping this works and will be a design by failure, if something fails I redesign it lol. Just wondering if anyone has used a booster pump and has any insight as to how they work re enough pressure, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best of luck on the switch M8.

Look forward to seeing it in action.

Peace and Great Grows

Actually I called and cancelled the pump this morning :(. Started to read a bit (put the horse before the cart) and figured I would just do a low pressure spray system. I built it yesterday and have 6 afghan plants ready to plant tomorrow. The HP looks great but a lot more things to go wrong IMO. Perhaps after I fill a few jars I'll give it a try!

Show us your DIY method when it's complete
I will if I can figure out how to load pics from phone someday lol. Basically the same as my flood and drain. Two totes, one 100 litre and a smaller 6" deep tote with 6 net pots. Used a shower drain ass. To join the two together in the middle with a 3/4 pvc pipe up through it and wrapping around the perimeter with 8 180 deg sprayers. I also put a 3/4 drain in as well, not sure why lol. I will put an overflow drain an inch from the top as well, saved me from a few floods. Again I'll try to get some pics up.
