Re: [OGD] Wetpads

First the easy one, PET is what water bottles are made from. Second is you are in a good location for wet pads to work. Here in Florida they don't do much to cool in summer since the humidity is already in the 80% or higher range on many a summer day. In areas with low humidity they work by evap

Re: [OGD] greenhouse wet pads

The trick to longer life with these type of pads is to completly dry them out between cycles, this means having the fans run for at least 15 minutes after the pump shuts off and making sure that the water in the trough drains completly so the bottoms dry out as well. I flip mine end for end each
