Pump size for Misters

  1. First off i have been looking around for mister fittings and water pumps, along with debating the drippers and water pumps for that size. I have an 8 plant system nearing completion and I was trying to decide on the type of hydroponics to do. What do you all prefer?

    Drip? or Mister?

    With a Misting system what size water pump should I use (how many GPH?) I was taking a pump and conecting it to two PVC pipes with aproximently 8 small misters attatched to each pipe.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for fittings? I plan on using chemical NUTES so the misters do not clog as bad. Are there any pictures or links to step by step on building a mister for the system? I have basically seen the same kinds of fittings just red that screw into 1/4inch pvc pipe.


    The drip system what would be a good dripper for four plants and what size Pump should I use for this design?

    And also does the mister and drippers run the entire time or are they controlled on a timer like the flood systems?
