Hi everyone, I'm going to offer some new information to this thread.
First, I have a few years of experience using low and high-pressure aeroponics.
And my favorite is HPA. My nozzles have never clogged up even though it recirculates the waste.
Why, you might ask? The key is keeping the nutrient clean and refreshed. My system runs at 80 to 115 psi.
From what I read hear, it seems most systems run a large pressure tank with a large reservoir.
I found it's best to use a 1.5 gallon pressure tank with a small 3--gallon reservoir. I do this for two reasons. One, I allow the system to run almost dry, down to just 1.5 gallons left or less.
So when I add 1-gallon of fresh nutrient, at least 60% is new.
Second, bi-weekly or monthly, I can purge the system completely and add 2.5 gallons without much waste or difficulty.
You will find it much easier and cheaper to control 2.5 gallons of nutrient than 5 or more.
By the way, I'm giving a free course on how to build your own aeroponics system which will include my schematics, parts list, and assembly diagram with videos of me building it. Signup for the free video here:
