So this is my proof of concept for an aeroponics system. I have a problem. The micro fogger nozzles are supposed to mist very fine. It only lets out a pitiful dribble.
I went from 70 mph motor to 300 ph as pictured. Is it too much pressure that makes it dribble? That's what I think since the outcome is the same
What the hell are you even trying to say in your second sentence?!
Do you mean 70 lph?
Neither lph, gph, or "ph" are units of measurement fro pressure.
Your pump probably doesn't make enough pressure to run those nozzles.
They're supposed to run at like 45-60 psi or some shit like that.
Your pump is probably generating like 6psi (if you're using a pond pump).

Gallons per hour bae
The motor I originally had was 70 mph and the nozzles are rated 2 ph. I upgraded to 300 gph with the same result

From the looks of it ya got the wrong spray jets.

If you have household water then use that. It should be anywhere from 40-60psi.

Ig you are using a 300gph pump, check your system. You have kinks or clogs in the lines.
Maybe the nozzles need higher pressure.
GPH is not the same as pressure. A pump can move a lot but be unable to develop much pressure.
I think the rating you need to increase is the pump "head" or how high it can pump the water.

Volume is not pressure

So im guessing gph is more like volts and torque?
I already used 1/4 tubing I don't know what else to do besides try new nozzles
a pond pump is not suitable to run a mister

>So im guessing gph is more like volts and torque?
GPH is like the current rating on a wall wart. It states the maximum flow, if the conditions are right(the resistance is low enough).
With high resistance nozzles, you'll need a higher pressure pump. I don't think you'd need much actial flow. It just keeps the roots wet doesn't it?
Those look a hell of a lot like my drip nozzles. You got the wrong parts anon
