water problem, is there a plumber in the house?
new issue: WATER! its ok as long as I am on hand to water it....and I like to hand water.....but I want to travel some this summer!!!
my leanto gh is about 8 x 16'...attached to the house on two walls....I built a kneewall, about 2' tall....now, its not the most ideal situation, the one long side faces kind of north east, and the entrance side is more to the south...it is good in some ways as the house protects it from the brutal winds here....
the water here is god-awful, and is instant poison death to orchids....so, I called culligan and put one of those jug RO systems on my workbench...the discharge goes on to a really tough boston fern and the floor, which helps humidity....I have a jaybird 700 humidity machine, which must run off the RO water (it clogs up with tap water)...and I plan on running an evaporative cooler off the tap water...
I split the tubing that runs to the jaybird with a tube and shutoff for me to hand water with.
I want to put up a mist/water system to run down the long side of the gh, over top of my cattleyas. they are most all hanging to get the most light possible. hanging about 18" from the ceiling off 3 copper pipes that run the length of the gh. so, it will need to run enough to hit the hanging cattleyas and drip down to the plants on the benches.
I need to be able to run this once or twice a day in the horribly hot texas summer while I am gone.
what equipment do I need to pump the water up to the ceiling mist system and keep the jaybird running too? I am confused on this....do I need to get a larger RO system? do I need to have a big fill barrel and pump from that? we have an old sprinkler control box (we dug up the sprinklers a couple years ago in the drought)...
I am confused....normal state of events, lol....any help out there?
