Typical 112534 Dutch Bucket System Layout
The 112534 Dutch Bucket system is typically set up as shown. Minor changes are possible depending on the available space and position of the drain. In
this example, the drain end of each 1-1/2" pvc tube is opposite the reservoir. If a single floor drain is used, additional pvc tube and fittings may be needed to
achieve the desired results. Contact your sales representative for additional details and to purchanse additional materials if needed.
ATTENTION:
Consult the Layout Diagrams on the next pages for additional layout suggestions. Actual tank may differ from examples shown. Adjust layout as
needed to setup system in available space. Purchase additional materials if layout differs from any examples shown.
Follow these steps to assemble and set up your Dutch bucket system:
1. Determine and prepare the area where the system will be
operating. Estimated system footprint is 8' x 24'. Length depends
on reservoir position.
2. Follow the procedures as presented. Procedures can be
completed simultaneously depending on available assistants.
3. Partially fill reservoir and test system.
4. Mix nutrient solution, fill buckets with growing medium, and add
plants.
5. Set timer and monitor operation.
ATTENTION:
This is a drain-to-waste Dutch bucket system. As such, it requires a
drain or tank to capture the nutrient solution that drains from each Dutch bucket.
Disposal of nutrient solution may be regulated in your area. Consult the services of
a professional familiar with local and regional codes to ensure proper disposal of
waste solution.
WARNING:
DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN WHILE RESERVOIR IS
EMPTY. DAMAGE TO PUMP WILL OCCUR. MONITOR NUTRIENT LEVEL AT
ALL TIMES.
Position the first
drain hole 9" in
from the capped
end of the pvc
drain tube.
Space the two 1 1/2" drain
tubes at 72" (maximum).
Space the drain
holes for the Dutch
buckets 18" apart.
