Hydroponics Float Valve

float-valve-V1 - for auto nutrient level control for passive hydroponics
Float valve is a water level controller used in Passive Hydroponics systems.
Install a big nutrient tank that can supply nutrients for a month for your plants.
Connect a pipe form the nutrient tank to the float valve.
Place the float value at the base of the growth tank for plants or vegetable.
The float valve will control water level not to exceed 20 mm. This is to avoid drowning the roots and keep enough space above water for airing the roots for healthy growth.
When the nutrient level drops below 20 mm, the float valve will fall allowing nutrient to flow from the nutrient tank into the growth tank to be consumed by the plants.
No electricity nor pumps required in this passive Hydroponics arrangement.
The only additional ingrediant you need is either natural sunlight or indoor grow lamps that could be LED grow lights.
