my new DIY system

First of all excuse the crappy pics.

ive been rdwc ing for about 10+years and this is my latest build, after i took fright a month ago after a security scare and chopped up my old systems
its 4 x 60 litre totes, with 300mm wide rimmed net pots from a flood and drain pot system. the res will be having flooms.
The pump is a 4000 litre a min Hailela.
The ,chiller is another hailea hc300, with a stand alone maxijet 1000 pump
the system is top fed, and recirculated through 40mm drains, located either side of the system. i used to have square spraybars around the pot , aiming the water down, but the spray bars would clog occasionally and took a while to make, so i just threw this together. im going to cut the bottom part off, to get better penetration from the pipes.
ive been using this design for about 8 years and it works and it works well.

Nice clean setup man, I like how you connected the pump to the pvc pipe. It’s the simple things sometimes.
