ASSEMBLY STEP 1 Insert black DLT Clip into Reservoir as shown. STEP 2 Install the blue Drain Level Tube by inserting the elbow through the rubber grommet from the outside while supporting the grommet from the inside. The Drain Level Tube is supported by the DLT Clip for normal operation and rotate the Drain Level Tube level with the bottom of the Reservoir to drain the system. STEP 3 Place the Growing Chamber on the Reservoir.
ASSEMBLY STEP 4 Push the beveled end of the Pumping Column Support Tube into the large hole in the bottom of the Growing Chamber. Push the Pumping Column Support Tube down until it barely touches the bottom of the Reservoir. STEP 5 Attach the Drip Ring to the end the Pumping Column Assembly. Ensure that the holes in the ring itself are facing downwards. STEP 6 Push the entire Drip Ring Assembly down into the Pumping Column Support Tube. Being careful not to catch the tube clamps on the support tube.
ASSEMBLY STEP 7 Move Drip Ring out of way and fill growing chamber with rinsed Clay Pebbles or your favorite growing media. STEP 8 Securely attach the Clear Airline to the flexible tubing of the Pumping Column and the other end to the Air Pump outlet nipple. If you’re using your WaterFarm outside, use only extension cords and outlets designed for outdoor use.
HELPFUL GUIDELINES FILLING When filling the system with a nutrient solution it is best to mix the nutrients in a known volume of fresh water. Then pour into the WaterFarm until the water level reaches the white line on the Drain Level Tube. The system holds approximately 2 gallons of nutrient and will sustain small plants one to two weeks and may only last a few days with larger plants.
HELPFUL GUIDELINES & TROUBLE SHOOTING OPERATION For moisture-loving plants, operate your WaterFarm pump continuously. Plants preferring drier conditions grow best when the pump runs for 1/2 hour on and 1 hour off during daylight hours; off at night (a simple timer will turn the pump on and off for you automatically). Use mild to normal strength nutrient solution and avoid strong or aggressive nutrient. As your plants consume nutrient solution, the level in the reservoir will drop.
FLORABLEND® FloraBlend is a Vegan Ferment Tea that is made from a proprietary blend of plant materials, plus seaweed, rock powders and micronized leonardite. FloraBlend is produced with a diverse mixture of highly bioactive microorganisms that are fed a feast of select food sources in a hyper oxygenated environment. These beneficial microorganisms multiply rapidly consuming these food sources and through bioconversion processes, new organic compounds are formed.
