Ah - OK - I totally missed what you were doing. Sorry.
I thought you were doing more of a low-pressure atomizer approach where there is no pressure on the water and just higher pressure air...
That's what I'm looking at doing and still in search for a good air pump/compressor to help ensure...
Ok thanks.
I just assumed that would need to be done almost hourly to be successful... I'll need to look into how much pressure is dropped over time.
Is it daily pumping?
Hi @Nameuse and @redi jedi ,
I wonder what PSI he's getting at the nozzle?
I'm also looking into higher pressure system but using a regulator to get it down to about 30psi... ideally hardly ever filling the tank.
When you say you're using a regular pump for a car or hand pump... how often are...
Just following up on this - I"m thinking about a similar solution but with Liquid Nitrogen...
I figure that if I have a tank of liquid nitrogen, I won't need a pump at all and would (probably) only need to swap out the tank every 2-3 months. (TBC)...
FWIW, there is a fair bit of research now...
Hi @namusae what kind of air pump are you using?
I've been struggling to find something suitable - but to answer your question, most tanks should be fine... I'm using Co2 for the exact reason but its unlikely you're using enough pressure to make it a problem.
@Atomizer I've read alot of your threads, and you've seemingly have a similar setup.
How effective is a hydrostatic test pump? Is that once a day or once a week kinda deal?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Hi All,
Hoping to have some advice on a suitable pump for my Air Atomizing Aeroponics system.
Roughly my setup will be;
30 PSI air and syphoned water spraying every few minutes for a few seconds.
I've got a D size Co2 Bottle I'll be using as an accumulator tank, party because it can take...
Hi All,
New to the forum after reading for a few years - finally decided to jump in deep and build my own atomizer aeroponics system.
I have two goals really:
1) get good crops that I can grow with minimal effort in a small space (I'm thinking residential balcony)
2) fully automate the system...
