ASSEMBLY
The AeroFlos are easy and fast to assemble.
Step 1 – The support system :
(designed to carry up to 300 kg/m
2
, it ensures top stability).
Assemble the aluminium tubing with the parts and connectors (D + L + K) . Use
a small mallet if needed. (fig. 1)
Notice the tees (K) at the upper corners. They allow you to add a vertical
structure to hang lights and yo-yos, or to build a protection frame.
Step 2 – The reservoir :
Place the reservoir (A) and the stands at a sufficient distance so that you can
place the growing chambers properly. (fig 2). Place the covers on each side of
the reservoir, leaving it open in the middle.
Step 3 – The manifold:
Assemble the distribution lines (C) and the connecting tubing (C1) and place it
on the reservoir and the stands (fig. 3 & 3 bis). Introduce the spaghettis (H) into
the distribution lines in a staggered way (fig. 4 & 5)
Step 4 – The pump :
Place the pump (E) in the bottom of the reservoir. Connect the manifold to the
pump with the connection tubing (F). (fig. 6 & 6 bis).
Notice :
leave electric plugs far from the water at all times! To prevent your
pump from burning, never let it run while sucking air or when your system is
empty.
Step 5 – The growing chambers :
• Introduce the overflow tubes (G) in the access holes in the chambers. To
make things easier, spread silicone gel (J) around the overflows, then gently
