Hello everyone....
Hope all is well. Just wanted to share some pics on a undercurrent system I recently built.
The system consists of 4 grow modules and 1 control bucket. Each made from a sterlite 7.5 gallon totes. I am uing 2" pvc tubing to connect the buckets to each other and the control bucket.
From the rear in between the last to grow modules pulling from the 2" pipe is 2 T reducer to 3/4 into a mag drive 12 pump.
From the pump the water os being directed into each grow module.
Pretty simple set up.
Instead of buying bulkheads I made my own using 2" electrical pvc. 2 couplings 1 male to slip the other female to slip. In between the couplings on the inside of the totes i used a flush valve gasket to get a waterproof seal
Once i built everyrhing and let it run for a week I noticed a tiny tiny leak on one of the couplings, so I completely disassembled the system and built it back up but this time I used clear silicone caulking. Thats did the trick system has been runnimg none stop for 2 weeks and no issues.
I covered all the totes in insulation. Which was great. It was made of cotton so no itch no mess.
I am excited for my next grow. Just waiting on my seeds to arrive and we will get down to it.
