Step 10
Rinse Hydroton to remove all
debris. Insert the CocoTek
Basket Liner and fill the
growing cups with Hydroton.
Insert them into the growing
chambers. Your AeroFlo2 36
is now assembled. The next
step will be to fill it with water
and add nutrient. You’re
ready to plant!
CAUTION:
Never run the BlueStone Pump without water present in the reservoir.
Step 1
Place the reservoir where it
will be used, on a level
surface.

Step 2
Line the inside of
the Lower reservoir
Grommet with a
thin coating of sili-
con grease (option-
al). Insert Drain
Valve into grommet
using a twisting
motion.
Startup
Before filling your system with water it is essential that you understand the system
capacity.
Low stage
Flooded stage
Each Chamber
0.6 gallons
2.4 gallons
Reservoir capacity is 40 gallons. This means that the total system capacity is
approximately 54 gallons in the flooded stage (overflow tubes set high), and
42 gallons in the low stage (overflow tubes pressed to the bottom). Fill the reservoir
with water. Turn on the pump. The pump will drive water into the growing chambers.
Note: It may be necessary to adjust the angle of the Laser Spraylines so that
they are spraying at a 45
˚
angle from the chamber bottom.
Draining the system
The reservoir should be drained first before draining the growing chambers. This
will prevent over filling of the reservoir and possible flooding.
A) Connect hose to Drain Valve.
B) Turn valve handle to open valve.
Caution:
Never run the Pump with
out water present in the Reservoir.
Step 3
