2. Connexió de tubs: Attach the 10-meter hose to the pump's outlet.
3. Distribute Tubing and Connectors: Route the tubing to your plants. Use the T-connectors, straight connectors, and cross connectors to create a network that reaches all desired plants. Cut the tubing to appropriate lengths for each connection.
4. Install Micro Droppers and Flow Control Valves: For each plant, insert a micro dropper into the end of a tubing segment. Attach a water flow control valve to each micro dropper. This allows for individual adjustment of water delivery to each plant.
5. Tubs segurs: Use the provided hook to secure the main pump unit to the edge of your water reservoir. Ensure all connections are snug to prevent leaks.
6. Install Anti-Siphon Device: Integrate the check valve (anti-siphon device) into the tubing line to prevent water backflow and siphoning, which can lead to unintended water drainage.
