[denske]

oh by the way, i was having the time off life, when i was playing with shit the sarvo, i had water an shit going everywhere, trying to hold pipes here an seeing which was blowing water, an stressing about where the waterr was gushing like near some power points, yup a sick time,

Hey denske, what sort of drippers did you buy? I use the round ones (like a coin) that are non-adjustable (had too much trouble with the adjustable ones) and rated at four litres per hour. If you are still having problems with the flow, have the system running and remove the drippers one at a time until water comes out and then replace the dripper.

I got sick of my drippers clogging up all the time,. so i took the ends off, just left the water to run out. It has worked fine, i did adjust my pump, so it wasnt pumping as fast.

hey guys, it has all worked out fine, i put the resouvoir up on a stool, a small nozzle on end of return pipe, an its working like a charm,, when i bought the drippers i could only get the adjustable ones, ill see how they go, but im just glad i got em dripping,,ill have to get some pics up, but my freind isnt keen to lend me his cam,, an i cant really afford one, ill get one eventually, actually i got a scanner+printer today, my girl bought it really, she wants a printer , i bought a hydro light, fair enough,,

I tried the adjustable ones but it is a pain to get an even flow across the system and they seem to block easier than the type I now use, I use them now when I want to shut off a dripper point.

 

I also replace all the drippers after each grow.

good idea about useing em to turn drippers off, i have actually changed an idea cuz i reckon it will block up, im not gonna run the trays back to resouvoir,cuz if bits of per/vermic, start going through the system into drippers they would block, or i thought, so im just maybe have the trays under the plants maybe draing to a bucket or something, an cause ive had to lift the resouvoir up, they proberly wouldnt have drained anyway, im also gonna have to get more drippers, i bought 10 sticks, an only 5 dripper nozzles, the guy in shop was kinda susing me an talking heaps , asking why i needed drippers, for my garden irrigation, an saying well u really want these one that spray 2mteres wide, like i want that in me cupboard,, so i said , ohhhh ok cool, thats what i want ,but ill take some drippers too, for my delicate plants,that dont need water, fuk i hate salesman,

[denske]

also, im busting to lets all this start running , once it was flowing yesterday, i was jumping around the house,,

i bought 10 sticks,

You can buy a roll of the 3mm tube, get the soft plastic one as it's flexible and lets you move the plants as needed.

 

Tell the nosey salesman that they are the bits your mate said to get and that he's got an excellent garden and go stubborn if he tries to push it, or go to a different store.

, i will tell him, but i dunno about going back there, the didnt have much stuff, i saw a roll of flexi 3mm, but it was like $19.95, i reckon i can get cheaper,an the didnt have many nozzles, like one dripper style, an a few sprayers, i know u can get more,
