Active Aqua 1/2 in Fill/Drain Fitting

The Active Aqua 1/2 in Fill/Drain Fitting is the fill and drain connector that communicates the tray with the reservoir in a hydroponic ebb and flow system. It is the piece that seals the grow table port, so that the nutrient solution enters and exits through the hose and does not escape through the bottom of the tray.

Benefits

• Threaded design with rubber gasket for a watertight installation in the tray.
• High-resistance polypropylene, tolerant to chemicals and fertilizer salts.
• Reusable: it disassembles, cleans and reassembles in each cycle.
• Compatible with Active Aqua flood trays and most standard 1/2 in ports.
• Connects directly to 1/2 in inner diameter hose from the pump line.

How to use

Place the rubber gasket, insert the connector into the tray port and hand tighten the threaded nut, without overtightening so as not to damage the thread. Connect the 1/2 inch hose coming from the pump to the inlet of the connector. Rinse the part at each cycle change and check the gasket for wear.

Available at Pachamama with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
