Assembly Instructions

If you used the 110413 dripper weights, fill buckets

with the desired growing medium. In this example,

clay pebbles are shown. Other growing mediums

are available.

Contact your growing specialist or

sales representative for additional options.

After filling the buckets with the selected growing

medium, determine what nutrient solution is needed

for your plants and mix this according to the

instructions on the mixture. Mixture will be specific to

system, the reservoir size, and the plants grown.

ATTENTION:

Water quality affects the nutrient

solution. Testing the water supply is strongly

recommended

before

you mix the nutrient solution.

In some instances and for best results, it may be

necessary to treat the water supply. Consult the

services of a water quality professional to determine

the condition of the water and how to treat it (if

necessary)

before

you begin.

Add your desired plants to the buckets.

Adjust the depth of the dripper weights as needed

for your plants and turn on the pump.

Continue by reading the aerator installation
