How to make an inexpensive low-pressure aeroponics system

* added 5/3/17 I made a new version of this system, Also all follow-up videos to this first version can be found here. Thanks for watching!

I show step-by-step how to design and construct a low-pressure aeroponics (soakaponics) system using free and inexpensive parts. I built mine for growing peppers, but could be used for anything. The pepper I used for testing was a Bhut Jolokia Assam.

The cost is less than 10.00 in parts, plus the submersible pump which cost me 22.42. Add 1.35 for optional sight glass components. This helps to monitor the water/nutrient level.

Parts list/cost

PVC parts
1 x 5' sched 40 1/2" PVC pipe - 1.92
5 x 1/2" caps - .38 each = 1.52

Here are some of the parts used to make this system that I purchased through .

EcoPlus 728310 Eco 396 Submersible Pump, 396GPH (You can probably get by with one not as powerful, like the 210 GPH one, and save money)


Hydrolux 360 Degree Red Replacement Micro Sprayer (100 count)


Drillco 2000C Series Carbon Steel Hand Threading Tap 10-32
