In this video, I will show you exactly how to calculate the pump size for your hydroponics system. You will be able to do the calculations for your Hydroponic pump size.

I also have a free mini-course to help you get started with the Arduino. This will give you a better feel for the Arduino and you will see how easy it is to get started.
Here is the link to the free online mini-course “Arduino turbo start”.

    Hi, I’m using DFT system , and I want to ask is it okay if I let my 4500L /H run on maximum for a 200L growbed? My head is just 1m and it says the the graph that the flow rate is gonna be 3500L/h if I circulate too much it’s not gonna have any negative impact right?

    Hey guys, I get many requests for videos on combined Arduino systems. Systems with different combinations of EC, pH, temperature, humidity, dissolved oxygen, light intensity, LCD screens, touch screens, Bluetooth, Wifi, timers, pump switching and many more. Although it is not difficult to do, it takes a different level of commitment form a viewer to go thru these type of videos. The amount of variations is also infinite. I do help individuals who want to learn more about Arduino to get to the point where they can put together the code and build almost anything that they want. Not only in aquaponics and hydroponics but also in other systems. If you are interested in me helping, you can check out my free as well as paid courses here: https://grow-with-pierre.com/

    Clear and concise, thank you.

    One question, the requirement for a vertical system, you state it at 10-25L/H – is this the same for a 2" vertical grow-pipe and for a 6" vertical grow-pipe? This is the magic number I've been searching for and haven't been able to find anywhere else.

    I trust that you've tested this flow rate, so that's where I'm going to head.

    Again, thank you.
