12 pipes but only 4 port manifold how does this work?
where can you buy one like yours- the blue one? (link is to a vivosun) What brand is yours? Thanks!
Should that pump be on a timer or can I just leave it on?
Still going strong?
Small setup doesn’t need much. I’m using a home well jet pump because nothing else seems to feed enough water to a twenty four 10 gallon bucket RDWC system. A 1000gph pump barely dribbles from a fraction of the fittings. Seems to oxygenate excellent however these pumps are not meant to run 24/7 because the motor doesn’t have a way to keep itself cool. set pressure at 25psi and turn voltage down another 20% for 20psi using a rheostat and it’s manageable.
Does the pump runs all day or with the scheduled gap?
…by the by really good video
