Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Well Im still working out my design for my pool conversion and trying to find material for it. I had anthor question. I was wondering will the pump have to run 24/7 ? or do you pump in cycle to your grow beds ?

I use 2 pumps.
1x 10000lph pump on a timer to most of the gb's
1x 5000lph pump running 24/7 to a swirl filter and 4 gb's

There are all sorts of ways you could do it. Depends on the pumps available, if you are using siphons or slow drain stand pipes with timers. How many grow beds you have and what size as well as if you have additional sources of aeration or are dependent on the pumping to keep aeration going for the tank.
