Cool. I’m thinking NFT/Tower rather than grow beds, but a blended garden allows greater variety of plant types. Well that’s a one day dream. I know I know, stop dreaming and just do it.

Hey, the reason the larger diameter drain pipe allowed for the siphon to break is because the surface tension at the intake tube isnt breaking to allow air in to break the siphon. You can solve this a few ways, you've found one of them. Slow down the flow going into the grow bed, put a small cup at the bottom of the intake tubes, or make your intake tube ends less level are other ways. The key to break the siphon with a small drain pipe is to allow air to enter the siphon another way.

What happen to aquaponics.. do you still alive ?

Brilliant

Thanks for this video. I have an aquaponic setup in my apartment and was trying to find a way to quiet the siphon draining. Don't want my neighbors to complain. Thank you!

going to test this out over a bell syphon

I like the videos

Another thing, is the over flow pipe mandatory? Thanks again

Your WZ T-siphon is a great thing, really and I congratulate you for the prototype. What is the height of the T-siphon in relation to the growth bed? You said in your initial statement that you don’t like something stickin out of your growth bed, like that of the bell siphon? So, EZ T-siphon is embedded in your growth bed? Thank you for your time and answer! All the best

Did you love technical or plant?

Ah memories...I miss Michael! The project was a lot of fun :)

Do you have any idea of the maximum diameter that would work for the pipes? I would like to have a tank that I use to irrigate a garden that is filled at a slow rand and when it drains, I will need a lot of water. Thanks!

Definitely going to try this out. Pretty cool about PVC clear pipe!

3 fishes can give you that much growth? Wow. Amazing

Did you get root block?

Thankyou, nice presentation

I know your talking about black lights right😊

Hello, can you please tell me the thickness of the pondliner?

cutting thin slits would be better. I plan to try this, thank you.

So too low an inflow rate the siphon wouldn't initiate, and too high an inflow rate the siphon wouldn't break. Interesting because I had this same approach to my system of using a U-shaped siphon through a bulkhead, I must say pipe sizes at various points in a siphon is critical.

Great design, but from my experience it will be pain for cleaning when roots go in those holes - bell siphon is easier to maintain;

Well done you are helping the bigger community to grow there own food 👍🇦🇺

5👍👍👍👍👍 this syphen is clever and clean, both from the top and under neeth. I was not found of the big tube bell syphen

Why not just leave the pipe open?

I know from the physics of a siphon a Tee has absolutely no advantage over a U shape . The siphon rate of any siphon is controlled by TWO factors . The ID of the smallest section of pipe AND the head height (difference in vertical level of upper body of water and lower discharge of tube or the surface level of the lower body of water (no matter how far the tube is located (inserted) below the surface of either .) Having a larger rise (two tubes) is NOT going to increase flow(ID of exit tube sets the limit) but in FACT will be a deterrent to the timely start and stop of the siphon , placing more air that has to vanish at the top .

Backwash once a month and you’ll be set. Even easier is setup your water or air pump connected to where those caps are but with a valve in between so you could simply switch a valve and direct flow to backwash then flip it back.

Am considering my plumbing options as begin Aquaponics project in NW Florida, just north of Pensacola, FL. I like your more simplified EZ-T siphon than In Bed Bell Siphon and External Bell Siphons. Once I get started, I will certainly keep you informed. Thanks for sharing your innovation.

Where do you get your grow medium?

are you in Woodstock Illinois? Home of the groundhog day? LOL

Simple way to avoid root problems is to parallel the drains and place the siphon in a separate container ( bucket) that is set at the same level as the grow beds, then no roots can get into it . Also the amount of drop in your outflow also has a great bearing on the way the siphon works. In one of my first attempts I had too much drop and the siphon would empty the siphon bucket before the other beds could completely empty, so I had to cut down the inflow of the T so that the drains from the other beds could pass all their volume.

I have a problem. My t-syphon worked twice and now wont work. Syphon made from 3/4" , drain on outside of bulkhead 1". Should I have used 1/2" to make syphon?

Thank you! Your siphon design saved us. Bell siphons just weren't working, we tried adjusting the flare on the standpipe, we tried different sizes, and so on. Nothing would work consistently. Your EZ-T works like a charm. So last night we dug out the gravel, pulled out the bells, and installed EX-T's on all six beds (with the clean-out mod - we saw the video right before making them, so switched from elbows to T's with plugs at the last second, lol).

Get some Spec 7s if you're working under those blues and reds all day.

Try adding a 90 facing up at the discharge end.....then try low flow rate.

great concept. how long is the straight run to the fish tank. ive read this should be 300mm or more.Btw if you wikipedia siphon; NO ONE really knows how they work. despite 4000 yrs of use. different models explain different siphons butno one thoery explains them all..

Is it possible to build a larger one with a turbine. It could be harvested for its power. Can we call that system a perpetual motion machine?

Thanks for doing the second part of the demo using clear tube … great idea … Secondly … you talk about getting the water flow rate right or things won't start via the syphon … Why not just have one arm or branch instead of using a tee? That way there will be no use or need for a 'differential' between two branches as such?

hello... here I was looking for a easier way to get a syphon to start rather then reducing size of my plumbing.. I have come across this... very good... I have a question.... well first I should tell you I am not doing a syphon for a grow bed, its for a 2000 gallon pond actually. I am looking for ways of changing the water level in it periodically.. kind of same concept as a grow bed though more like a artificial tide. A great for giving plants on the ponds edge a “dip” into the water as some beautiful plants that look great around a pond but dont like to be submerged all the time like a Canna lily for example. 2nd purpose would be to clear up my top skimmer and flood away stuck leaves or debris that seems to hang up on it from time to time. Bringing me to my question... you have use a “T” to increase the ease of starting the syphon correct? Now... have you tried a 5 way and add to more intakes totaling 4 all into the same drain? Would this double the ease of start up perhaps? Thx for your time?

This is an interesting design. Wonder if it can be applied in hydroponics using a 3 inch UPVC pipe?

idiot

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard liberty aquaponics reviews try Proutklarton Surviving Instruction Plan (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got great results with it.

Revisiting this video. Thanks. You could replace the end caps at the bottom of the bed with elbows and connect the elbows together. The pipe connecting the elbows would have to be slit. It would no long be a EZ-T Siphon but rater an EZ - O or EZ - Square Siphon.

I am planning on using your design, in my first aquaponics set up. Yes please send me emails. What are your views on swirl filters???

why not make the design external and away from the grow beds but at same height no problems with roots ie the external bucket fills same time as the grow beds

Whatever inlet tube that you are using. Then your outlet tube should be the twice of the inlet tube!!! To be able to break the syphon much faster and efficiently!

Thanks, good to see another siphon. I just connected a few U siphones the other day with 32 mm irritation tube and they work well. The siphones are on the outside of the grow bed for easy access. I remember working with a bell siphon in the middle of the grow bed several time, full of media and plants, and it was a hassle. I have several flood and drain pots and will put in the EZ-T Siphon on some if not all of them. Agree, lots of trial and error but those who post to UA-cam help prevent a lot of errors. Thank you all of the UA-camr posters.

Have you made an evaporation make-up tank yet? You'll have a more consistent reservoir pressure with 1. It works like a pet waterer. They have been in use in the aquarium trades/hobbies for a very long time. Search, ATO (automatic top off), also known as an automatic top up.

Chlorophyll more like borophyll!!!

Cheers for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Patlarny Gardening Expert Principle (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning how to expand your produce with the clever art of aquaponics without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.
