Sorry, but I’ve plumbed many houses and I know that the public water company runs 2″ PVC pipe to carry all the water to houses in this area. The CPVC stands for “Chlorinated Poly-Vinyl-Chloride” and so if CPVC is acceptable, so is PVC.
The only difference being that CPVC handles heat better and so it is used for hot water. Type in “PVC” and “potable water” into Google and you’ll see it is approved for potable water everywhere.
@HowToDrillAWell
PVC is used for drain, waste and vent not for potable water. The plastic line used for potable water is CPVC and PEX tubing. PVC does leach chloride into the water. Hence the abbreviation PolyVinyl chloride (over 57% chloride). It is also bad for the environment having the highest density of hydrocarbon polymers than other plastics. Sorry to burst your bubble.
By the way, look at my videos and you will see that I am really into hydroponics now.
I have expanded a bit since I bought these plans! Once you get hooked, you will never be the same!
I know it is the best way to grow food. Especially in the winter up here in the great white north.
I bought these plans a year or two back. Great plans that are easy to follow. Every step in detail. I use one of these systems outside in the summer with a solar powered pond pump. Costs zero run except for nutes and seeds. The best thing is that the lettuce is really clean and delicious!
These plans gave me ideas and knowledge for other systems of my own design. Well worth the price. Thank you HowToDrillAWell.
Neither, it is a constant flow system. A pump runs water past the plants at all times. Some customers have set it up on a timer to run every fifteen minutes, and that works fine too.
which method does this employ? is it ebb & flow or aeroponic / fogger?? thanks
Just about every water company in every city in every country in the world runs water through PVC pipe. Miles, perhaps hundreds of miles, of PVC pipe separate you from your water supply. Many homes run all their water through PVC lines. So if it’s poison… you’re bathing, washing your clothes and probably drinking hundreds of times more of it than could possibly be absorbed through the plant.
PCV is poison. Poison is getting into your food via it I assure you.
How would you get the power from the middle of the ocean to the people?
That’s cool Magog1138.
I wish I had been as wealthy as Carnegie, except instead of giving it away to charities and dying penniless as he did (and it’s very noble that he did do that) today I would invest all the billions and billions into vertical farming (enormous, towering skyscrapers of food) and solar islands (enormous solar cells in the middle of the ocean providing abundant, cheap energy worldwide) it would benefit the poor, and everyone world wide for generations.
I love charity and voluntering but this very bright man with great ideas deserves MONEY for his awesome work.
Trust me, if you follow these plans thru, your initial investment will be offset by your future bounty of wonderful organic fruits and vegetables.
Dude…..let this guy get the money he deserves for his hard work, his idea, his time and all the money he put into this. Why don’t you work for free?
I do work with non-profit groups to provide them with instructions at times, and recently have been in discussions with a company to go to Senegal, Africa, and demonstrate and instruct in the gardening systems we have. That said, we have a lot of time and many mistakes invested in developing these ideas into viable systems, and I’m sure you understand we must make a living
Good idea; but for that sort of application, I’d just go all the way horizontal like the lettuce garden is, if you have the space. It’s more efficient that way.
i wonder if were at a slight tilt (10-15 degrees) , it might allow more direct sunlight to the lower plants. i live in venezuela so even if it were facing south, the sun might not be at the best possible angle.
@Espeon1962 use a feather. That is what Mendel used.
What have you been smoking? The only reason PVC is used over metal or clay is it’s durability. Copper in your house does have some antimicrobial abilities but in todays water plants it’s not needed. The romans used silver coins in their baths to help do the same thing…What do you thing colodial silver is? Silver suspended in water. Silver and copper kill viruses by not allowing the absorbtion of oxygen in the DNA.
PVC is safe and has been for years!
funny you should say that because befor the water gets to you CPVC and PEX it spent days getting there in PVC asshole.
If its a small operation you can using a artificial pollination using a cotton ball. Larger scale operations can use fans to blow the pollination around. I’ve even seen a startup that is going to use robotics to pollinate.
Question for you. For growing strawberries, and perhaps other small root plants (there are many that could be grown in this system) - how are you dealing with pollenation if indoors?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF THAT pvc LEACHES ANY CHEMICALS IN HARMFUL AMOUNTS? SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF BS IF YOU ASK ME.
Yes, strawberries, flowers, and lettuce grow best in these systems because of their small root systems. For larger rooted plants we have barrel garden video that will be released shortly, and our container garden system which is already released works well for all the larger rooted plants.
hes growing flowers vertically, hydroponically, but still flowers.
From Wikipedia “In the United States and Canada, PVC pipes account for the largest majority of pipe materials used in buried municipal applications for DRINKING WATER distribution and wastewater mains.”
