Assembly Instructions
1. Locate the deep sump area of the tray, drill two
holes, one 13/16” and the other 1.25”.
2. In the 13/16” hole, install the ½” rubber
grommet.
3. Insert 1 EcoPlus ½” Elbow Fitting into the ½”
rubber grommet (moisten the barbs on the
fitting to help it through the grommet).
4. In the 1.25” hole, install the ¾” Tub Outlet
Fitting (with Screen Fitting). See Fig A.

16. Insert the 3/16” Poly Tube Push-In
Fittings into the punched holes.
17. Once all required Push-In Fittings are
installed, cut 2 ft sections of 3/16” Vinyl
Drip line. These will be your feed lines.
5. Attach a 3 ft section of Hydro Flow ¾” black
vinyl tubing to the barbed end of the ¾” Tub
Outlet Fitting under the tray. This is the return
line to the reservoir.
6. Take the 3 ft section of the Hydro Flow ½” black
vinyl tubing and connect to the ½” EcoPlus
Barbed Elbow underneath the tray. This is your
feed line from reservoir.
15. You will now set up your feed lines
based on the size of your grow
container. Position one row of
containers lengthwise to establish
the hole locations in the distribution
line. Make sure hole locations are at
least 2” apart. Using the hole punch,
punch holes next to the center of
the grow container. See Fig E.
18. Attach the 2 ft sections of 3/16” Drip
line to the 3/16” Poly Push-In Fittings.

19. Take the required Dripper Stakes and

7. Place the EcoPlus Eco 633 Submersible Pump into the reservoir and attach the ½” feed
line to the pump fitting.
20. Place planted pots in tray and put drip
stakes into pots. See Fig G.
8. Back in the tray, take the 4” piece of Hydro Flow ½” black vinyl tubing and attach to
the ½” Elbow Fitting on the inside of the tray.
21. Check that all fittings are secure. Add
water and desired nutrient solution
9. Take the ½” EcoPlus Tee Fitting and insert into the other end of the 4” piece of ½”
vinyl tubing.
22. Program Apollo 7 timer and plug in pump.
DO NOT RUN PUMP WITHOUT WATER.
See Fig F.
10. Cut two pieces of the Hydro Flow ½” poly tubing – one 10” and one 12” in length.
Fig. D
Fig. E
11. Attach these two pieces of tubing to the ½” Tee Fitting. Note that one length is shorter
than the other. This is to properly line up distribution runs between the grow containers.
See Fig B.
12. Take two 1/2” Elbow Fittings and attach to the ends of the 10” and 12” lengths of ½”
Poly Tubing.
13. Cut two 7.5 ft sections of ½” poly tubing and connect them to the other end of the two
½” Elbow Fittings, running the tubing the length of the tray.
14. Using the two Hydro Flow ½” Poly Figure-Eight Clinchers, run poly tube through one side
of the clincher and then back through the opposite side, blocking the flow at the end
of the ½” poly tubing. These poly lines will be your distribution lines. Pumping warm
water through the lines will relax the poly tubing so that it doesn’t coil up in the tray.
