    Pex is becoming more common due to the labor savings. Those big pipes are only used for drainage and irrigation (Well unless you got like 100 bathrooms or something i guess lol)

    I'm sorry, but just because it is used in the construction of new homes doesn't mean that it is safe for drinking water, because it IS toxic. You have to do your own research. There is "PVC" and then there is "uPVC" "uPVC" is unplasticized PVC, which means that it does not use plasticizers in its production. The plasticizers in PVC are what make PVC toxic. Regular PVC contains phthalates and BPA, which are being leached into your hydroponic water. Type this into google "Comparitive acute toxicity of leachates from plastic products" click on the first link, and you will see the toxicity of PVC. I'm not trying to sound rude, but I'm trying to help.

    Hello, thats really nice, going to create my own hydroponics strawberries with my solar etc. I'm also an engineer and really believe in safety. I see this guy is not wearing shoes and the plastic is going all over, this might be something you might want to take care of in the future. Good job.

    How much cooler does your swamp cooler keep the greenhouse on say a 90 degree day? I just bought a 5' by 40' cooler that I will need to cut down to about 28'.

    hey guys, nice project you got there i'm planning on doing something similar here in Chile and i just wanted to know what are the specifications from the pumps that you're using on each reservoir and how much is the spacing between each row.

    thanks and have fun ;D

    Great job you guys. I've been working on a miniature version of this type of system myself. The problem I have experienced is that the net cups don't reach to the bottom of the 4 in pipe and my media is drying out. How'd you guys avoid this problem and get the berries to root properly ?
