    Re: Pipe Siphon by Apollo

    I had to modify my Veritgrow Towers;

    Water feeding the towers were damaging the foliage by keeping it too wet. I added a down cap, which also allows me to increase my water flow.

    Water as it trickled down the towers would exit the towers at the back corners of the openings. Making a mess and not completely watering the bottom plants in the towers.



    Adding water diverter cap...look at the tower in background, see the water mess.


    Add "Plumbing Goop" in a U shape around the opening.


    This step needs to be done before installing and planting.


    A much cleaner look.
