FarmTek Growers Supply HydroCycle Vertical Aeroponic Systems Important Information Manual page 5

The aeroponic system is ideal for growing in tight spaces. Multiple systems

arranged in the same area allow for maximum use of available growing space.

However you decide to use your aeroponic system, review the information that

follows to better understand how to prepare and setup and system.

1. Construct the 115041 AeroTower Stand using diagrams near the back of this

guide.

2. Review diagrams throughout this guide to help decide where to set the

system. Set tower stand and reservoir in place. Allow ample room for

cleaning, maintenance, and harvest.

3. Check overhead clearance. Height of 8' system (113593) with grow tube on

stand is approximately 128".

4. Consider system pump location and clearance it will need.

5. Consider where main power will connect to water pump and air pump.

ATTENTION: All electrical wiring to be completed by an electrical contractor

in accordance with established electrical codes.

6. Depending on setting, additional lighting may be required. Ensure that

electrical service can support the addition of artificial light fixtures if needed.

TIMER REQUIRED

For best results and to prevent over-heating of the nutrient solution, a timer is

required to control the water pump. After populating the grow tubes with plants,

set the timer to cycle the pump on and off as follows:

Run pump for three (3) minutes every two (2) hours.

Monitor the plant growth and solution temperature and adjust watering times

as needed to maximize results. Do not connect the air pump to the timer.

Air pump must run continuously for best results.
