IRRIGATION ASSEMBLY
1. Seal the end caps onto the bottom gutter using a Ma-
rine-Grade Sealant or Boat Bond. To prevent leaking, fill the
groove of the end caps with an adequate amount of sealant
(at least 1/2 full around the entire groove). Secure the end caps
to the bottom gutter so the edges of each gutter rests inside
the groove of each end cap. Let sealant dry completely before
use or further installation.
2. Place the pump in the bottom gutter using the pump hole located on the left side of the gutter. Ori-
ent the pump so the intake faces into the gutter (see illustration below).

3. Identify the black poly tubing with the 90º elbow joint and drippers attached. Orient the tubing in the
top gutter so the elbow joint is on the same side of the system as the pump. Make sure the drippers and
elbow are facing down (toward the bottom gutter) and each dripper is centered over each tower hole.
Zip-tie the poly tubing to the top gutter using the pre-drilled holes on the top gutter.

5. Attach the second piece poly tubing between the pump and elbow.
6. To finish assembly simply push the end caps into place on the top gutter (no sealant required).
Note:
To aid with connecting tube fitting you can soak the ends of the poly tubing in hot water.
4. Place the top and bottom gutters on corresponding
wall channels.

Note:
When plants grow, they lose water (transpire)
as they let O2 out and allow CO2 in. Therefore, it
is important to regularly monitor the water level of
the ZipGrow Farm Wall. If the water level falls below
the cover of the Aqua Active pump, the pump will
burn up and fail. How much water your Farm Wall
uses varies depending on the type of crop, crop
maturity, and the temperature of your growing
area. Top-Off Tanks can be used to reduce the
frequency of monitoring.
