Making an Auto Siphon for an Aquaponics System. In an Aquaponics system, auto siphons are used to control both the flooding and draining of the growbeds, which are the beds where plants are grown.
Follow the easy procedure listed below to make a Looped Auto Siphon System and a Bell Auto Siphon System. Making a Looped Auto Siphon System Looped Auto Siphon is also called the U-bend or Gooseneck Auto Siphon and is an easy siphon to construct. You can buy siphon tube lengths from any hardware store to install it yourself. Step 1- Constructing a Loop Construct a loop using the flexible tubing and place it in such a way that the crest of the loop is below the surface of the growbed. Step 2-Mounting the Loop You can choose to mount the Looped Auto Siphon either externally to the growbed or internally, but make sure that the outlet is below. When the water level in the growbed reaches a height that is above the lower level of the horizontal part of the Looped Auto Siphon, water begins to drain.

It seems like the easiest system to set up and maintain and once its up and running it will run itself with very little need for intervention on my part. In my long and winding travels through the various websites, PDF's , and videos out there the most reliable way to make this system work was the use of a bell siphon. This consists of a 1/2" diameter pipe (the upstand), the 1 1/4" bell (a capped PVC pipe with crenellations cut in the bottom), and a gravel guard (everything I've read says you want to maintain about a 2:1 ratio in the pipe size). The upstand is inserted into the 1/2" male adapter which passes through a hole in the bottom of the grow bed with an o-ring to prevent leaks from the grow bed. Dams. can they be used?? - Iceweasel. My neighbour has a dam that holds about 200,000 to 600,000L at different times of the year, he has seen my AP system but as nothing has grown yet he remains sceptical.
We have had a discussion about aquaculture using his dam water and come up with the following idea: Wind mill (with possible powered pump back up) continuously pumps water to a large tank in a protected area where Marron are grown and then FT water drains passively back to dam where existing aquatic/semi aquatic plants and algae remove nutrients. Essentially the existing dam ecosystem is a large biofilter. No vegies as the large dam water volume would need a very high nutrient content and therefore stocking density to get good plant growth and then fish/marron would be harder to keep alive. Why not just throw marron in the dam? Why not just do an AP setup? _________________Simo My system : The good thing about science is that you don't have to believe in it for it to be right.
