Bilge Pump Aero Setup??????

kochab · Sep 22, 2007

i got a 500gph bilge pump @ walmart........would it be possible to hook that up to replacement misters for an ezcloner? i did it with duct tape a piece of pvc and pvc cap. worked decent but pressure wasnt strong because of the duct tape seals..........
i want to keep one mother plant on a aero system. would this be sufficient enough to do so? im going to add more sprayers later on when needed.

well in my 6 site aero tubs I only use 200gph pump. You can use sump pumps that all have male adpaters on them just gotto Homedepot and get one that fits your threads with a female hose barb then you can reduce the hose size to what eversize you want.Adpaters are only 2 or 3 bucks each. You can even use a piece of old garden hose. Just cap off a 2 foot piece at 1 end poke a bunch of nail holes in the hose screw it onto the sump pump.put it in a tube or bucket with enought water to cover intake and put the top on with a net pot turn it on and instant aero bucket or tub for 1 or 2 plants

actually thats the way that I planned to house the pump setup exactly. lol. the pump was only $10 so i didnt thought it would be a good investment...then i got to thinking about how i wanted to setup my mother plants and i think that I have figured it out.
thanks fletch.
