What does that outside blue tube do? why wouldn't you just put the air stone and tube directly in the bucket?

The tube is see threw and allows you to easily check how full the bucket is

The hole is meant to prevent the pump from getting "air locked". It's a very small hole and won't cause much water from getting back into the pit. Not sure if it's absolutely necessary but I didn't think it was worth the risk of burning up the pump.

We use the tubbing like in the picture. Then attach it to a brass nipple that we inserted in the bottim part of a 5 gallon bucket. You need to make sure to make the right hole si it will not leak. That is the best way I can explain it since I am not sure of the name of the brass nipple.

It's a hydroponics bucket, rinse it out very well, stick the air hose through the hole in the top of the bucket and connect the airstone, connect the tube with the two lines to the fitting on the bottom of the bucket this piece is used to check the water level, fill the basket with rocks and your seedlings, add water and nutrients plug in the air pump, change water and nutrients every 2 weeks or as needed.

Yes. Just put all of the tubing in the water and then hold the small end of the tube to keep water from coming out and put in bucket.

As much as you set it under. Depending on how much you fill the bucket with water/solution. There is a water level tube for you too see where its at. Hard to go wrong. You want to start with the water higher and touching substrate and work your way down a little when roots grow into the reservoir to give them an air gap.

no. it is just a steel model. all you can do is position the bucket manually.

I don't use an air pump or stone in any of my tanks, I have 3. The air pump is to add oxygen to the tank, which a circulator does, aim it up to break the water, it let's gas be released also.

Ño, there is a bucket that holds water. It over flows into a tube that runs down into the hole you dig into the ground.It is like a slurry. The water and enzymes resolve the waste and when you pour more water in it flowdown into the tube into the ground. Our works really well and we have two dogs. Just make sure to digyour hole as deep as it says.

You don't need to have blue water coming out for this to be working. I've used one of these for years and it fertilizes fine with a dilute solution coming out. This puts down more water than if mixed in a bucket, but outside you have to put down more water than inside due to the evaporation and seepage into the surrounding soil. But it is fertilizing just fine. By shaking it, you will get a much less even application than just holding it level.

keep air out, even a little can turn it into a brick. It is recommended to put stones or other objects into the container to displace the air inside the container.

This Blue product is for waste management, sanitation, and odor control. Gelling Stuff is OK but disposing of it correctly is the solution and the end to dealing with the messy stuff Paul . . . The reason for the use of a bucket is for comfort and convenience, you always have to have a Disposal PLAN. Location is a factor, in the stixs or boondocking, you gell and burry . . . Good luck

This tubing is too small for your needs,it is for air stones, DO NOT buy this for what you want. Check the requirements on the pump you want to use and buy the correct size tubing for that pump.

You dont. The water/nutrient solution is used up in plant growth. The bubbler prevents stagnation and ads oxygenation to the nutrient solution. You will continue to add water/nutrient solution to the master bucket as needed, it has a level indicator tube on the outside.

just blow it off with compressed air, theres seals underneath to keep foreign objects out. However Ive had mine in the deserts of Peru being absolutely abused to years with no, absolutely NO maintenance, and the thing just keeps going like the little train that could ! ! ! ! An excellent investment for harsh environs.

It has a big tube, see the picture, that comes out the top and goes right in to up to a 5 gal bucket. Works great.

I tied ours off tight to prevent air leakage. I assumed it was for deflating the whole thing when you roll it up for storage.
