Yes I've seen the fallponics setup...Ya actually when I need to replace the air stones I was going to make some diffusion rings but since I already have all the air stones might as well use them u know...And the noise really isn't a issue on the pump as my oscillating fans I can hear over the pump usually anyways so no biggie there I was saying as in the alita120s being the issue with being loud....
Ya the drain kit is def the way to go..I could lower the amount that gets drained as I could add a tee and a piece of PVC with a elbow and have the drain in both outside sections but not really needed..I did use 3/4 PVC and bulkheads for the drains as the return pump for the drain only just doesn't drain enough or even close to it for me as mine would stop in the middle of the bulkhead so pretty useless as a drain which is why I built the drain kit and I wasn't gna pay 100 for the current culture one fuck that and I don't use uniseals or hoses for that matter..So next best thing build it urself so I did and so far it's worked out great..It also circulates the system better too so why not.....If anyone has any questions feel free to ask or if u need a parts list or anything just let me know....
yeah I get the potential issues that hpa cab have w power outage/pump failure etc..Nozzles I'd have more than 1 per bucket so clogging won't be a concern plus I use dry nutes so my water is crystal clear..Also I would have a DC high pressure pump I'd have hooked up to a battery for a backup ...As saving 95-98% water usage would be huge plus it's more efficient not having all the pumps running 247 etc...
Ya the PVC orbit fittings are absolutely wonderful and I think all rdwc setups should use those fittings...also not too sure why no one else uses pvc for their chillers everyone uses hoses only..and it's sooo simple the chiller threads are 1 1/4 well the 1/4hp uses anyways which is a common size for personal grows...
...so with the hpa setup I think I'm gna use the new current culture 8gal grow modules that has the drain well so they drain 100% and plus it would be cheap not having to buy the 3in pvc and bulkheads mainly with 2 per tote it adds up quick so hpa would be cheaper build but will see still deciding regardless as of now I'm going to sit back and enjoy my grow and maybe in a CPL harvests I'll check out hpa for veg 1st and go from there...
