It's silent and it should really kick ass. I'll keep everybody updated with this Alpha Grow Peace.

Fertilizers: Advanced Hydroponics 1-2-3

Operation pressure 6-7,5 bar
Pump: Aquatec 8852 low flow booster pump
Connections: stainless steel (316) and plastic ~ no oxidable parts in touch with fertilizers
Pressure tank: handmade, stainless steel (316)
Non-return valve: stainless steel (316)
Solenoid Valve: stainless steel (316)

Closet itself: 100% handmade ... (well I didn't fell trees... but still pretty close 100%, eh )

I took again allmost too much energy to put all this together, but I just had to do it, it's in my nature... so once again, simplicity is dignity.

Building a pressure tank

 

[Laurus Lamas]

Installed... the orange laboratory hose was installed on it's place to reduce the noise generated by intake resonance at the reservoir. It helped, no it's humble hummer

 

[Laurus Lamas]
