    Missing check valve going to Venturi and Venturi is improperly installed (see Mazzei’s video on how to install their Venturi). Needs to be installed horizontally. If it works then I guess you are somehow still creating a pressure diferencial strong enough to have suction, which is still pretty cool.

      Was thinking the same. But maybe the blue and green pipes attached to the venturi injector are different sizes.

    I am an avocado farmer. I use a similar filter for my well water. I put a simple back flush system on which allows the filter to be cleaned without removing the filter.

    Excellent video!.. Does the fertilizers cause any damage to the selenoids valves?

    I am an avocado grower. Had to take a food safety class from feds. In California, there had been cases of food poisoning on vegetables from fish emulsions. In my opinion not worth the risk particularly for small growers.

    In working with fertilization systems i have commonly used them with some hydroponic systems where you use a fertilizer dosing tank to do much of our mixing.

    Such a sweet simple system!

  • @ketzalkiawitl
    @ketzalkiawitl 5 лет назад

    IF I want to use a system this simple as a fertilizer injection in a hydroponic setup. ¿How could I set it so I have precise control of the nutrient concentration? Can you make a video about that or point me to a guide or instructions manual? I really don't want to spend on a dosatron... Thanks Curtis you Rock! I appreciate your efforts and your content

    Would this work on a residential system? I have an acre and 6 zones with all 3gph rotors. I’m push about 24 gph for each zone between all the rotors in the each zones

    Nice setup. "Fertigation" has been around a long time. Miracle Grow run through a garden hose is fertigation.

  • @germancasiana1760
    @germancasiana1760 5 лет назад +2

    Why not put the fertilizer injection before the filter instead?
    Helps filtering it. To keep drips clean seems to me.

    Its crazy to see no need for freeze protection, I could never comprehend having water systems not entombed in insulation if its going to be above ground.

      I know. I still have a hard time getting my head around it. In many places in Canada, the lines need to go 6 feet deep.

      There actually isn't. I thought there was and it was a miscommunication with my partner and I. It creates a lot of complications on the bookkeeping end, so we discontinued it. My apologies.
