Medium Bell Siphon For 6

A bell siphon is an easy way to drain your grow bed in a flood & drain aquaponics system without using a timer to turn your pump on & off. Small & compact Transparent No more timer & longer pump life Increased water aeration Educational How it works: Water is continuously pumped from fish tank into a grow bed. When the water level in the grow bed reaches the top of the bell siphon, the bell siphon starts, & the water drains back into the fish tank. This flood & drain cycle happens repeatedly without a timer to turn off the pump. This cycle helps aerate the water for the fish & the roots of the plant & prevents root rot. This is the coolest part about this system. It works solely on the physics principles of atmospheric pressure & vacuums! Installation:To install the siphon, you need a 7/8 inch hole in your grow bed.
