Venturi pump for 13 mm water pipes
Print Profile(1)
Description
Small Venturi valve fitting for my 1.20 m tall hydroponic tower.
After countless attempts and various designs to find the best solution, I created this Venturi fitting to oxygenate the water without external motors.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I connected the valve to the TOP of my tower so that it works perfectly to oxygenate the water, connecting a 13 mm pipe from below, which pushes the water via the submersible pump and a small 13 mm pipe connected to the top cap of the tower, causing the water to cascade.
WARNING:
The valve must be placed at the end of the tower to work perfectly to oxygenate the water (if placed immediately after the pump you won't get the same benefit, plus difficulty in raising the water). If working correctly you should hear a slight whistle coming from the 5 mm hole that lets in air, which in my case I left as is, without connecting tubes as in the picture.
