  5. I’m new to hydroponics and to microcontrollers, but will be interested in
    controlling the pump via an Arduino, but was curious what the time interval
    was for the pump by itself? Never had a freshmatic b4. Btw nice idea! Very
    Macgyver of you! Especially seeing how expensive timed dosers can be!

  10. it leaked a little, probably could have been solved by using a zip tie to
    tighten the hose to the plastic, i’ve got a perastaltic pump version coming
    soon, stay tuned!

  12. Nice video. One thing: dykes would probably have taken that plastic off
    without…you know…melting it into the air and all.
