PUMPS

why do I need a sub pump?

A sub pump is used to transfer water and nutrients from the reservoir to your plants in the flood table.

when should I pick a pro pump?

For applications that require higher head height a pro pump is recommended.

How do I maintain my pump?

It is recommended that you thoroughly clean your mesh filter once a week or use a filter bag for upkeep of your pump.

why use a pump inline?

For aeroponic applications, it is advised to use inline instead of submersible to avoid increased water temperature, which can harm plant growth.

why do I need an air pump?

To keep nutrient solution in suspension and prevent it from settling by circulating reservoir water.

how will a tray stand help?

It is necessary to have a tray stand hold up the weight of your tray and keep it at a high enough level above your reservoir. That allows you to work underneath your tray.

DO I NEED A RESERVOIR COVER?

Not required but recommended, as it reduces evaporation and prevents algae growth.

should my tray cover be white?

Also recommended, as it reflects light to minimize heat that may build up.
