If the lights heat up everything else what makes you think they are not going to heat up the water in black plastic lines. Why do you think reservoir water is quite often hotter than the room air temp. The pumps are not heating the entirety of the reservoir that much. You insulate hot water lines to keep the heat in, you heat cold water lines to keep the heat out. Duh!
well i think thats y they make water chillers, air cooled hoods and ac... and if your so knowledgable y didnt buy your ideas of insulated spray lines... and there shouldnt be any light hitting the spray lines any how because there in a fence post with a canopy of mj over it... my 2 cents
Wow, what a hat rack case. Not surprisingly only a minority of people use chillers or even air cooled hoods or cool tubes. General Hydroponics sells crap systems. If they can save a penny they do. I doubt you are capable of a griow with a full cam nopy even at full veg or at bllom stage. Even if you could you are still heating your water in your lines unnecessarilly up until that full canopy is developed. Plus if you do put out the money to chill your resrvoir water pumping it through uninsulated pipe just heats the water backup in route to the sprayers.
Trash talk doesn't impress me. The stupid things you have just written before this latest reply show me your last reply is just trash talk. Your initial request shows you are inexperienced as does every thing else you wrote. The last reply is just ludicrous bunk. Actually my 60 year old *ss is totally virginal punked boy.
Liitle boy Greenbuds. Take your head out of your behind and read this.
I simply stated that I had no idea the length of the tubing and that he could simply buy tubing at Home depot or Lowes. I also suggeted that he spray paint and insulate the tubing. Very good advice. You should try it. Hell even Earl recomends insulation. I should have said insulate the manifold pipe as well and insulate the fence posts. All are simplier ways to reduce reservoir temps that are much easier than ice bottles or spending the money on a sad over priced inefficient retail chiller that removes heat from the water and dumps it back into the room. Great gain there. I could have also said insulate the reservoir. Prevention is much better than expensive bandaid treatments like chillers. These are all common practices amongst people wha run good systems economiv cally. All my lines reservoirs and growing tubes are insulated and I grow in an airsconditioned dehumidifeed sealed room with a water ck hiller with its compressor outside, plus I use water cooled lights. However, as it works very well I still insulate. Insulation is a good thing not a waste. Not a crack pot idea. energy is expensive. Insulation is relatively cheaop and repays its costs quickly. Not using it is often the only reason a chiller is ever needed. So your just talking nonsence and he was just being defensive and overly argumentative. I haven't seen anyone jumping in answering his question about the silly tubing length. Give me a break. If you wish to be beneficial just answer his question andleave me alone.
As far as your last sentence go have your momma change your diaper child and spit that thing out of your mouth and use a pacifier instead. I receive PM's and thanks daily for my posts child so your opinion on what anyone in this world wants is just for garbage from the mouth of a baby. When I was young I thought I knew it all and adults knew nothing. Apparently you are still a juvenille that thinks that way.
ok so jack um i know the 4' lines are just under 4' i v built 4' aeroflos and i would recomend you get your spray lines before u cut your tubes or your 3" cup holes, use your spray lines as a refrence for your cups put the spray hole in the center between cups as im sure u know. i used plumbers glue kinda like shoegoo stuff to glue my guides for spray lines, pvc glue didnt work so good, and dumb ass doesnt know what hes talking about insulating spray lines haha their inside the tubes yo .
