This is what I'm currently testing:
Netafim Netbow
Netafim Spider
I pulled off one of the ends of the spider and put the net bow on it.
Then I'm trying out some pressure compensating drippers that run at 12L (3gallons) (Netafim PCJ Pressure Compensating Dripper Non-Leak - I did a test with water bottles and every single bottle got exactly 1L after 5 minutes.
So there is like the Netbow ring which puts heaps of water around the edges, and then the 3 other spider lines to put water round the middle of the plant.
Then I got this fuck off massive house pump to make sure that there is enough pressure to run the netafim drippers - water wouldn't even come out of them at all with a 1000L p/h submersible fish tank/pond pump.
So far so good - and I can precision water down to 1 minute intervals. So 200ml per minute, or 1l per 5 minutes.

Dang NZ, looks to me that you got everything firmly within your grasp. Although I am a bit scared to do those pierce connector types, that is TIGHT!
Hell, I don't even know what the hell this thing is. Looks like copper lines going into it? Water pump pumping prechilled nute water in? Care to give a bit of a breakdown? As Barney said, iterations.. we try, learn, adapt/improve.. My next go round will have slight modifications, always up for learning..

I need a new pump.
I’ve been using a mid size aquarium/fountain pump, but I’ve let my water level get to virtually empty a few times. The pump is now noisey and not moving as much water as it did.
I’m thinking of getting a puddle pump that lets you set the min water level to 2mm then shuts itself off.
Has anyone tried one?

Hozelock drippers work well. They have adjustable flow rate and the hose connector and fittings are better than anything I’ve seen in a hydro store.
I bought 3 tubs when they were 60% off in wickes at the end of the summer.
