Aquaponics - Mad Science - Trompe Pump Prototype Lots more to do and the camera work is dodgey but first test working perfectly More detailed video to follow
More detailed video coming soon on the full system integration. However, the short version is that it's tricky and only marginally worth it in North America where electricity and transport is cheap. On the other hand, if electricity is pricey or grid / transportation access is awkward, then the Trompe begins to make a lot of sense.
@@MichelVaillancourt Can i ask why you'd aerate the water then essentially de-aerate it in the trompe to then add the air back in with a bubbler rather than just using the aerated water that traps the air originally? Is there an efficiency/better aeration achieved with the bubbler?
I was just looking into this! I plan on trying to figure out a small scale way to do on fish tanks with sumps
