my pressure is about 60psi when the system locks
when the system is running it drops to 40-50 psi
first run my PPM was 159 In, out 0.04 (filled about 5 gallons at 0.20GPM)
second run my PPM was 170 In, 0.07 Out (filled about 43 Gallons at 0.20GPM)
with a waist ration of 1-3, it toke about six hours to fill up
hope this helps

I'm adding articles, links and much needed information, hoping to make it a main source of information - all under one roof
with all my technical information and other resources accumulated

i apologies in advance if i remove anyone's comments or quotes,
doing this in order to keep information in order

thankx for the info
im starting about 350/400 ppm (depending on time of year with the well)
but i think the combo of weak psi and bad water and cold water slows the system down
im about 1 good gallon to 4.5 gallons of bad water.......funny thing is that the bad water after going through the double filters tastes way better than the normal water and thats with me using the bypass for the water softener i use

You keep amazing me with the amount of info you keep throwing our way. Putting links to all the equipment sources was a very nice touch. I have been making word docs and in turn pdf's out of yours' and StinkBud's albums. It makes the material easy to read and search (especially SB's hundreds of pages. You two guys make this forum fun to read and especially to learn from. Keep on keeping on, dude!:lol:

I'm getting ready to assemble my flower unit and I had a couple questions.

I'm also going to put the res on the outside of the tent. Did you think about extending the fence post between the res and the first plant site? It seems that right now that first plant is growing right against the tent wall. If a person has the space inside the tent, what do you think about extending the distance to that first grow site?

My other question was sprayer placement. Instead of having sprayers directly across from each other, what do you think about staggering them? Seems like that would give a more even coverage.

Thanks!

hey Picasso,
putting the res outside the tent will work perfectly
all you need to do is extend the the first 7 1/8" part of the union joint
and extend your tube accordingly to reside outside the tent
you may also need to adjust the slope a bit, if you extend the tube
by adding to the front 3 1/8" pole, possibly 1/8"-1/2" to accommodate the extra length
how much are you planing on adding in length?
i run my design to maximize the internal space of a DR300
(everything will be inside my tent due to harsh conditions in my attic)
i will be able to run anywhere from 6-8 sites facing each other
with the res and equipment on the outer rims of the tent
sites facing inside in two rows of three or four

not sure i understand what you mean by staggering
the way i have it lined up will give an even distribution
all around the cups 4 quarters evenly for complete 360 coverage
