IRRIGATION ASSEMBLY
1. Place the pump in the bottom gutter using the pump hole located on the left side of the gutter. Orient
the pump so the intake faces into the gutter (see illustration below).

2. 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. Measure and trim the second piece of poly tubing so that it fits (with space to attach to the fittings)
between the pump and elbow. For 5-foot Farm Walls, trimming may not be necessary.
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.
