Thanks for your support!!
Happy Breeding, Happy Growing and Good health to U.
Oh noo I missed the show I'm so sorry I had so many questions
No probs mate, always next week. Write em down and bring a theme to the show
On the topic of RO. You can also dump the brine into your hot water tank if you dont want to waste water. Also, you described the flow of the unit back to front. The bits at the top are the polishing filters and the larger ones at the bottom are the pre-filters. I recommend a six stage with the DI resin at the end.
I buy biostimulants from a growshop :) bacterial inoculants and other products like supervit and Chitosan.
The large micron pre- filters trap larger partials first otherwise if these were smaller filters first they would clog faster. Biostimulants are good but increasing biology with biofertilizers/ biopesticides is my focus mainly using microbes and making them reproduce, multiply and work for me. Be careful using your Brine, as this is typically sodium chloride or calcium chloride and may have a lot of fats and oils, but it can be good for soil conditioning if its not saline or faty. Thanks for your comment mate
@@AussyCC that's correct. In the video I'm sure you describe that but point to the top rather than the larger ones at the bottom.
Because I'm a hydroponics grower, I have to watch the bacterial load in the reservoir as a build-up can lead to blockages etc. I've played with hydro-organic using a 3d printed "biofloat" as I coined it. Was a float that contained a porous material to harbor bacteria. Worked well to reduce ammonium and the plants were great. Only issue I had was keeping control of the PH.
I do still use microbial inoculant as part of my IPM ragime. It's a blend of different bactilis and other bacteria like trichoderma. The biostimulant I use is basically a bunch of vitamins, hormones and other metabolites from fungi and bacteria. It's a product called supervit by Hesi. I've recently switched to Aloe Vera upon recommendation from a friend. If you want to go down a rabbit hole then check out the benefits of using Aloe Vera. You could probably do a whole live on the subject :)
When I say pump the brine elsewhere, I mean into the hot water system. It's quite a common thing to do. They call it "zero waste" reverse osmosis. I can't post links here but, check them out. Much better than wasting a shed load of water. There are drawbacks to that method too. Another option is to implement a permeate pump.
