🛠 Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

Position the reservoir in the center, surrounded by the planting buckets.

✅ Step 2: Install the Gaskets

  • Tip: Apply a little vegetable oil to the gaskets for smoother installation.

  • Gently tap them with a rubber mallet if needed.

✅ Step 3: Connect the Water Circulation Pipes

✅ Step 4: Set Up the Water Pump

  • Place the water pump inside the reservoir bucket.

  • Attach the pump outlet to the main circulation pipe.

  • Secure all connections using clamps if necessary.

✅ Step 5: Assemble the Air System

✅ Step 6: Place the Net Pots

Insert the net pots into the planting bucket lids.
These pots will hold your grow medium (like clay pebbles) and your plants.

✅ Step 7: Fill the System and Test

  • Fill the system with clean water (around 15–20 cm deep in each bucket).

  • Turn on the air pump and check for bubbling inside each bucket.
