Please help me find aeroponic supply lines

I am designing a new system and I am having a tough time figuring a few parts out. I am building a aeropoinc system for my flower room with 4-5 five gallon water coolers and a reservoir. Each cooler will have one large plant I plan on keeping the buckets somewhat mobile, I want to be able to move them a bit as they grow to reposition and maintain them.

I normally use 1/2" pvc with nozzles screwed into for my aero supply lines. I just spent an hour at home depot starring at all th eplumbing fittings trying to fabricate something to no avail. The best thing I came up with was using pvc inside the individual coolers and have that feed down to a 1/2 slip to male threaded fitting. I could attach a 1" braided vinyl line from there.

That could work, but I saw a few potential issues with that. The braided plastic tubing is designed for 225 psi so that'll be fine. The fitting that connected the 1/2 pvc and the braided line was a bit thinner than the 1/2 pvc. The 1" braided line was a lot thicker than I am used to dealing with. Between the thin inner diameter of the fitting and the thick inner diameter of the hose I worry about getting a decent pressure out of this system. I could simply use a slightly bigger submersible pump to overcome this, but I worry about clamping the plastic tube to the pvc fitting. I am not sure how tight I can make that clamp without cracking the pvc.

If what I proposed above does work and that is what I decide to build, I will have 4-5 plastic hoses routed to my reservoir that will have to attach to some sort of manifold that attached to my sub pump.

I am stuck in a rut with all this. if you have any advice, please share!! Thanks in advance

If you're using a submersible pond pump, the pressures you're dealing with are very low. 9 foot of head(typical of a 600gph pump) = 4 psi. Hose clamps don't need to be very tight at all. Just enough to keep the hose from getting knocked off the fitting. Some just use zip ties. 1" braided line is over-kill, 1/2 or 3/4 vinyl tubing is plenty of flow for what you will need. A 3/4 or 1" drain line is my suggestion. Clear tubing is not good, you want to keep your nutrient solution in the dark to prevent algae. Your buckets will need to be higher than your reservoir, so they will drain to it. I'm not understanding what you mean by "thin inner diameter of the fitting and the thick inner diameter of the hose". i won't be watching this thread, so PM me if I can help with anything else.
