DIY Auto-Watering & Drain to Waste System.


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

So I finally got my setup automated, with a watering system and drain to waste system...All credit goes to @SYZYGY for helping me, your patience and response was first class mate, thank you.

 

 

Below is the res the main line and pump is sat in:

This is the main line with an anit-siphon line that works perfectly:

This shows the main line going into the tent and the IWS timer and works perfectly...I'm feeding 4 days a time at 2 minute intervals.

A distribution ring with 5 outlets feeds two open lines per pot, as you can see below the main line is fitted with a filter and flow control valve. Each pot is sat in a medusa tray that will drain to outside the tent:

This is the two waste pipes I have coming from the medusa trays that run outside the tent (I'm using the tube heater as a weight for now, it doesn't actually come on lol )

The waste lines drain into this bucket that has a condensate pump inside, when the level activates the float switch, it pumps directly outside:

True credit goes to the contributors of that Auto-Feeding thread in the Coco section. That's where I got it all from lol 

 

Glad to see you've got it all set up and working tho mate. I love the auto-feeding life and I'm sure you will too.
