Anti-siphon device
The anti-siphon is needed to stop the water flow when the pump has
stopped if the first emitter is lower than top of the water source. It should
be fitted in the delivery tube to the emitters,(it is number 8 in fig1). It can
be fitted by making a hole with the punch provided and pushing the blue
part of the anti-siphon directly into the tube, threaded end first.
Supplement feed pump
The C120 has 2 pumps. As well as the water pump there is a
small supplement pump which runs for intermittently to
dose at a rate of about 1:100. (Your feed concentrate needs
to be 100x the strength you wish to apply to your plants).
This can be used to dose your water only with 100% soluble
supplements. Connect a piece of small bore tube with the
filter on the end to the pump inlet and connect the outlet
tube to the delivery line before the first off take (see fig 6).
Use a valve for this connection. If you wish to turn it off
unplug the pump from the circuit board (pump 1) and close
the valve.
Irrigation kits
You can use up to 180 drippers with any of the tank range (C60/120/180). With the C180
you will get a full irrigation unit (equivqlent to the water usage of 1 large tomato plant) from
each one, but the C60 output will be 1/3 and C120 output 2/3 of an irrigation unit from each
dripper if you do.
To attach the kits use the hole punch and connector
nipple or 4mm valve to connect the small bore tube
in the kit. Use the tees and stoppers provided to split
and close the pipe ends as necessary.
Dripper kits
–
12 or 20 each of drippers, tees and
stakes, and 15m of small bore tube. Cut and join the
pipe using the tees to make a network which
reaches all of your plants. Remember the rules for
even watering apply especially where there are
