Hi there everyone this is a system I have designed and after some deliberation I have decided to share it with this community :hump:. It essentially uses a reservoir two submersible pumps and and aerator with some vinyl hosing. This is a prototype and hasn't been tested yet however the potential is massive this particular model is a 10 gallon. It can be easily modded for any # of plants. The pictures explain it all only notes one pump (smaller size) is used only to keep current flowing and I used jumper wire and small holes to attach the hose to the bucket. CHEERS

Well considering the lid is off and no roots ie plant to catch the stream of course it sounds loud. I find the sound relaxing like a waterfall, other similar systems use pvc with nozzles that are bound to clog up but this system prevents this and provides the best coverage with super oxygenated water. I am confident this will also outperform any aeroponics system either on sale or DIY.

My first aero systems were along these lines as well,
works pretty well and no worrying about sprayer heads
getting clogged.

I just didn't like having the roots in the res because the
pump would begin to suck up the roots cause the pump
to burn out. Other than that it was pretty effective.
