Hi guys! I’m planning on setting up a RDWC system recently and was just confused about water circulation.
Here is the inf of my equipments:
9 plants in 9 5gallons buckets in a 2.4*2.4*2m tent
a main reservoir
7000-10000L/H (1850-2640gal/h) water pump
2” intake pipe & 3/4” return pipe
I know that the pump should be enough for the whole setup but is there an optimum water flow rate where the quality & yield would be optimized in the end? I’ve been searching for related inf for a quite a while but it seems like nobody is talking about water flow rate but how many cycles in an hour. Does it also involve the pressure inside each bucket? Am I thinking this wrong? I appreciate your help in advance!!!
